Leave your thoughts about Upgrade.
| Baret NewsKam WilliamsA timely cautionary tale about Artificial Intelligence you don't want to miss! |
| TheWrapDave WhiteWhat Whannell wants most to do is torment and eventually pulverize most of the people in his narrative orbit and make you laugh while he does so. |
| Film ThreatBobby LePireUpgrade is the kind of movie that gets the audience's fist-pumping, then it gets them thinking, then it gets utterly insane, in all the best ways. It demands a rewatch as soon as possible. |
| Daily Express (UK)Andy LeaThis gory, pulpy and gleefully preposterous sci-fi movie is best enjoyed if you don't take it too seriously. |
| The Hollywood NewsKat HughesA tremendous turn from Logan Marshall-Green perfectly compliments Whannell's vision of the future. The revenge thriller has long needed an upgrade, and now it finally has one. |
| Concrete PlaygroundSarah WardA sharp, sleek and savage wander into genre territory. |
| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesThe most original, high-concept sci-fi thriller since Looper. |
| FANDOM Drew Dietsch'Upgrade' is the grungy, gonzo, and genuinely great type of sci-fi that we need to see more often. |
| Toronto StarBruce DemaraWriter/director Leigh Whannell gives us a glimpse of the near-future and it's both fascinating and terrifying. |
| Original CinLiam LaceyThe triumph of a film like Upgrade, an unapologetic B-movie, is that it aims low and exceeds expectations. |
