_We... Are Stenom..._
Based on the trailer alone, I was pretty sure _Upgrade_ was gonna be a movie I enjoy. But after those last couple of minutes? Now? I'm pretty sure this is gonna be my favourite movie of the year.
_Final rating:★★★★ - Very strong appeal. A personal favourite._

Low budget, but well done sci-fi. It's not overly cerebral; there's a consistent amount of action throughout. Worth a watch.

Upgrade is Blumhouse's first entry into science fiction and it is outstanding. Disturbing twists, fast-paced action (on speed), cool sci-fi technology, and an outstanding performance by Logan Marshall-Green, the unlucky visitor on Prometheus and in The Invitation.

**Overall : A fresh action standout with unique characters and excellent fight sequences. The Accountant's numbers just add up!**

Logan Marshall-Green's performance grounds the …

_Upgrade_ is a visually appealing cyberpunk story with plenty of twists and turns. From the beginning, I was pretty hooked. The setup for this film is done so well, I was really into it. Visually, this movie is a treat. So many creative shots made the film feel fresh and fast paced. The combat is brutal and the way the choreography was crafted in conjunction with the diverse camera angles made each fight feel real and visceral. The plot was reall… read the rest.

**Hollywood, this is how you make movies - One of the best sci-fi films of 2018.**
I was expecting the IMDB ratings for this science fiction film to be inflated, but after just watching it, i don't think the rating is high enough.\

This science fiction film, set in the not-too-distant future, is a low-budget film that puts a lot of this year's films of the same genre to shame. It has allusions to other movies like Robocop and Blade Runner,…
