 That's definitely an upgrade Oh, that's a hot mug guys. Hey guys, this is my review for upgrade now You might be wondering why I'm reviewing this movie two things one when this movie came out in theaters It did not come out in Canadian theaters at all. So I finally got it for Christmas. It's really good Second thing the director of this movie lay one on all We want on all he's definitely one of the more underground sort of horror writers slash directors in the film business right now This is one of the key creators of the Saw series He wrote the insidious films and insidious is probably one of the best low-budget horror films It definitely really blew the Blumhouse brand and he's also you know The one who left us with the massive-ass cliffhanger of two still waiting However, this movie makes up for it tenfold again a low-budget horror movie But set in a futuristic time frame and it's venom but not mediocre the main character gray is a guy Who is living in the past in a futuristic world. He's a technophobe technically Will Smith's character for my robot we see him and his wife in a car accident his wife dies He is given a second chance with a microchip in his neck What starts off as little voices in his head turns into a means of having super abilities and being able to take revenge on The people who killed his wife and injured him But there's obviously a much bigger conspiracy and it all happens in an hour and 30 minutes Which I would say is probably one of the bigger complaints I have of this film is that is way too short the film does a great job of staying on track with the story But it is trying to world build the same time But I wish there was more because there is so much good world building in this film But they don't hang on it They don't take a massive amount of time to do world building like I said what we get is pretty good Just wish there was a little bit more along the way There is this side story of this cop character who's investigating the situation at first He's figuring out what happened to his family who did that however She starts to investigate him because he's seeming to be not like a paraplegic Unfortunate because while I say this film is too short her part to the story is so stupid It is trying to be this morality complex I feel that they could have definitely done a better job with this part But definitely what is one of the biggest selling points of the film is how they shoot the fight scenes When you watch the first one it's so jarring because the camera is following Gray's movements Putting you right in the fight scenes and you're kind of wondering the whole time how they did it And what I found out was they put an iPhone underneath his shirt and it's a transponder to a gimbal That's holding the camera so when he is moving the camera is like going full With him in accordance to the phone on his body and that's a super low-tech way to do something Look super impressive without actual CG in it The ending is kind of a little bit rushed in a bit like okay You kind of can take here leave it at the end I don't mind the ending but the ride to the ending is really good I wish that the film had a little bit longer of a runtime because I definitely feel this film is too short Upgrade is a definite thriller film that you should watch It has a pretty good story and it has just a great visual style to it for such a small budget So in the end I'm going to give upgrade a five out of seven The reason why I reviewed this other than having watched it a while ago Is that he's directing the invisible man movie that comes out this weekend I thought this movie looked like garbage However, I've heard a few things that changed my view of it And as well knowing that this guy is directing it It's kind of like a flip of a coin to be honest I do have a little bit more faith in this movie now because he's directing it Anyways guys, that's all for me.
