Upgrade Reviews
It’s a rather run of the mill revenge story on paper, but the way it blends sci-fi elements into this common narrative is a welcome mix up.
Leigh Whannell’s utopian-future horror is daft but entirely in on the joke.
Even though it plays like a 90-minute episode of Black Mirror, it would be a pretty good episode.
A really fun but also really compelling ride.
The kind of pulpy, low-pretense, non-franchise thriller that bigger studios have done their best to usher toward extinction.
With its emphasis on technology, slightly futuristic setting, and fondness for disturbing developments, Upgrade feels like an episode of Black Mirror that somehow managed to break free from its Netflix surroundings and emerge unscathed on the big screen.
Upgrade is the best of revenge thrillers mixed with a masterfully creative futuristic world.
Upgrade may not stick to your ribs like classic action movies but it's scarily effective in the moment.
There's a remarkable amount of cleverness in this dark, chaotic vision of the future, blending believable technology with fantastical notions of science-fiction.
Certain pieces of this old motor may have some screws loose, but there's mileage to be had, assuming the viewer can switch their brain between manual and automatic.
It's unusual to find a movie this thrilling, up-to-date, and intellectually provocative in equal parts.
The film's only true objective is to rev your engines, get your adrenaline pumping, and your heart racing. It's far from a perfect movie, but that didn't stop me from loving the experience I had watching it.
pgrade never really takes hold of its audience as it fails to really engage on an emotional or visceral level, as it attempts to channel some of the best of 80s action cinema.
There are a few rough edges to Upgrade - the editing could be more crisp, for example - but this is a story that ripples with adrenaline and clever plotting.
Upgrade is a fun action-filled science-fiction film that may make some think about how much technology one really needs while entertaining them.
Upgrade is much more than the sum of its parts, is as enjoyable as hell and taps into all of those innovative sci-fi movies that you already love without being a mere copycat.
"Upgrade" could have been just a B-picture, albeit an expensively-produced one, but [Leigh] Whannell is as serious about his social commentary as he is about entertaining us.
Upgrade is some diverting if unexceptional entertainment. I mean, consider this alone: a 95-minute sci-fi action movie. Upgrade does indeed hail from a simpler time.
With unbelievable action sequences, jaw-dropping bloodshed, and a surprisingly unique climax, Upgrade is sci-fi body horror at its most dynamic and raw. If John Wick was rewired to star in a superior version of Hardcore Henry, you'd get Upgrade.
The risky, impressive and very effective plans and camera's work of the director join the performance of Logan Marshall-Green. [Full Review in Spanish]
