Upgrade Review

Upgrade is a dramatic, intense violent Sci-fi action thriller with horror elements, and a surprisingly fun twist on a well-worn concept movie. The impeccable plot and so many plot twists would keep you on the edge of your seat to know what's going to happen next. Kudos to the cinematography team for such amazing cinematography. This movie also features engaging score, futuristic, visionary set pieces (smart homes, auto driven cars, robotic arms that operate upon voice command and bio enhancing cybernetic chips to name a few.), fluid and kinetic action scenes, and really good visual and special effects. Talking about the star of the movie, Logan Marshall- he really pulled such a difficult role very easily. I can't imagine anyone else playing Grey's character better than him. He literally nailed it. Like all thriller and horror movies, its end is also not even semi happy or hopeful and that's really how such movies are supposed to end.

TRIVIA

Trivia

During the fight scenes, the camera often tracks Grey so that he remains in the middle of frame. According to director Leigh Whannell, this was achieved by hiding a phone somewhere on actor Logan Marshall-Green, which the cameras could then pair to and follow with as much accuracy as possible.

At one point during the hacker building sequence, the Saw (2004) doll can be seen painted on one of the walls. Leigh Whannell, the director for this movie, also wrote the first Saw (2004) feature film screenplay.

Filming started in March 2017 in Leigh Whannell's hometown of Melbourne and lasted for 30 days.

The film was originally titled "STEM," which the website Movie Insider credits as a separate movie from Upgrade.

The film has drawn a lot of comparisons to another 2018 film, Venom (2018), but Leigh Whannell said he was not familiar with the comic book character before writing the film. Interestingly the lead actors of both films, Logan Marshall-Green and Tom Hardy, bear a striking resemblance to each other.
