Like its augmented protagonist, Upgrade's old-fashioned innards get a high-tech boost -- one made even more powerful thanks to sharp humor and a solidly well-told story. Read critic reviews

It's funny, violent and full of ideas.
January 5, 2019 | Full Review… -
Jed Palmer's excellent 1980s-alike score would alone justify the admission price. Good, clean, gory fun.
September 10, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… -
It takes just the right number of liberties with what you can actually believe in.
September 7, 2018 | Full Review… -
It's still a small, silly movie and there's nothing particularly novel or even of the moment about its technosceptic stance on machines, but as a genre exercise, it's a fun ride.
September 1, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… -
Whatever the case, Upgrade has enough extra features and add-ons to seem like much more than just another pre-programmed revenge thriller.
August 31, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… -
Apart from a few flimsy special effects...this is a satire that cleaves dangerously close to reality at times.

Sep 24, 2020Upgrade 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.Mark B Super Reviewer

Apr 19, 2019Fun, but mostly predictable Sci-Fi. Feels like the first Terminator movie. So for that reason it's worth a look.Aldo G Super Reviewer

Mar 25, 2019If you want to read the review I wrote for this, go to letterboxd.com/HankIsDead514. I can no longer post long reviews on here and I'm not writing two separate reviews for the same movie.Jesse O Super Reviewer

Mar 18, 2019Upgrade is a unique, original sci-fi tale that bodes well with its technological concepts, dazzling cinematography and well-crafted story. This cyberpunk-esque envisioning and bloody-thirsty, quirky-humor-filled ride is an under-the-radar hit that is underrated for the year and deserves your attention. 4.2/5Eugene B Super Reviewer
