An effective action/sci-fi outing that has drawn a comparison to Venom - and lead Logan Marshall-Green does bear an uncanny resemblance to Tom Hardy - but stands on its own. It's funny, gruesome, somewhat predictable but overall a worthy watch.

It's like Venom, but upgraded. This is Leigh Whannell second movie he directed and it's pretty solid. Cheesy and poorly written, but enjoyable with some cool practical deaths. Logan Marshall-Green, in-spite of his uncanny replica to Tom Hardy, was pretty good, especially with his reaction to tense situations made it even more entertaining.

Although I found its outcome foreseeable and the ending not entirely satisfying, "Upgrade" is a shocking and funny thrill-ride not unlike those from the "Terminator" era.

Didn't even hear of this until minutes before I saw it, and was probably the best surprise all year! In the top percentile of AI/"robot" movies, with some of the standard eye-rolls of Sci-Fi Action but high quality writing and suspense... a few parts may be predictable to the astute but it never felt dumbed down, nor convoluted... gripping and perfect twists. Modern Matrix-like action and feels like a whole franchise/universe could be based off this character (or characters). More precisely I'd say 3.8/4
