Review of Upgrade (2018) by Rob T — 31 May 2018
Where Upgrade succeeds is where a lot of low budget Sci-Fi films fail, the film making itself. Most films like this try to hard at re-inventing the wheel with a story so tech, so calculated in its theory of AI and the future of technology that most audiences tune out.
This film knows what it is at heart - A Sci-Fi Action/Thriller, then takes you on one helluva ride. The story is and has been told over and over, Robocop, Deadly Friend(for those of you who remember)The Terminator, ExMachina, Blade Runner - and on and on.
Like those, this film focused on what it was and didn't try to be some socially conscious Humanity vs Technology thinking mans movie. It was fun, exciting, and even did things from a film making stand point that we have not seen before which makes it fresh and fun.
Highly recommend this film.
