31st January, 2019.
It’s officially official: I … get beeped at …
Every so often.
When the spirit move …
No, let’s forget that line, shall we?
I think I was going to veer into the ever so slightly pretentious, there!
At any rate?
Like many nights, I’ve had tonights off.
And nothing much to do: bar watch the odd movie.
Although it HAS to be said, I’ve just had an old friend sing at me: which is rather a nice thing to have happen.
Hmmm …
Let’s move on, there, shall we?
Before things start getting … um … unusual …
At any rate, I’ve had the evening off, movies are made, teasers written …
Time for a movie, I think …
~≈§≈~
Upgrade introduces us to Grey Trace (Logan Marshall-Green): an auto mechanic who works from home, whilst his wife, Asha (Melanie Vallejo) commutes into her job in a very posh self driving car.
As the film opens? Grey has finished his latest piece, is in tent on delivering it to its owner, billionaire, Eron Keen (Harrison Gilbertson).
Keen … ?
Has something he wants to show Grey and Asha: an implantable chip he calls STEM.
Implantable … capable of acting as an auxiliary brain …
And possibly needing a test subject …
~≈§≈~
Now … ?
Was this any goo, I hear you ask?
Well …
Not necessarily.
I will give Upgrade it’s dues: the action sequences are good, the fight scenes, fantastic, the dialogue …
The dialogue was just a touch flat.
And the characters … not exactly three dimensional.
It’s a fun film …
Just don’t expect it to be overwhelming …
Upgrade
