@@FullFatVideosThat's not what jack means. They mean that if you look at this movie like a Venom movie, it's a better Venom movie than the actual Venom movie that came out. Because in the end it's about a similar theme: 2 personalities inhabiting the same body and one of them (the one foreign to the host) giving the host abilities that they wouldn't have otherwise. Yes, Upgrade isn't based on Venom. But with how pisspoor the Tom Hardy Venom movie was (fun as a dumb action movie but not good as a Venom movie, despite Tom Hardy being an excellent actor and clearly having fun in the role) it's not hard for people to lament what could've been if the Venom movie took more from Upgrade.
Love to see Upgrade appreciation. Had no idea what I was getting into when I watched it a few years ago. Its so brutal, unique & even kinda relavent now.
I loved this movie so much! Definitely underrated, with a great story and shocking twist. The action scenes are some of my personal favourites, such a unique take, and the dialogue is also great.
yearly movie releases are probably in the thousands, Superhero movies are maybe 10-20 each year. There is much more releasing each week than just superhero movies ;) sure, a lot coming isn't probably that great, making a good movie is really difficult, but still
Loved this when I stumbled onto it. The concept, the action sequences, the camera work, all so captivating. Plus it doesn't overstay it's welcome with a runtime of 100 minutes.
The acting, the world-building, cinematography, the precision in action, the camera-work, all on a LOW BUDGET!! This movie is incredibly remarkable and horrendously underrated my god!!
Not to mention the writing was filled with so much foreshadowing right from the start of the movie that by the time the ending comes around it makes you want to go right back to the beginning to watch it a second time…it felt like watching Inception for the first time where the ending was so unexpected!
Loved this film, super under rated It's crazy how they made such a believable sci-fi universe with only a few million dollars, a fraction of the budget of most Hollywood movies and way better than most of them I've heard there was supposed to be a sequel or a TV show but who knows if that will happen since this movie was wildly under appreciated
Thanks for making this video. After watching this film for the first time, I remember loving it so much, I had to tell everyone to watch it. After some time, it was obvious that I liked this film a lot more than anyone I knew. So since it’s hard to find anyone to go deep into the film with, videos like these fulfill that void.
I had another show in mind when i saw upgrade... the first interactions of Trace and Stem on the hunt made me think foundly of Knight rider when Michael was starting with Kitt. I still think it would have been great to have a series about a new "Knight rider" (Stem host) getting hired for a "knight foundation" (Keene foundation) working to stop the "Karr" (Trace) villain doings. Bonus points it they brought back Eron Keen VI to redeem himself, body upgrades between seasons, more Stem Hosts, later interactions with good and bad government organizations. And Grey Trace VI when he separates from Stem.
I'm so glad you're covering this film. It's one of those movies that eeks the absolute most it can from it's budget through the use of tricks and techniques that don't cost lots of extra money like creative lighting, camera work and blocking. The nasty gritty world adds to effect. It reminds me of other low budget labors of love like the original Saw, District 9, Mad Max and I am Mother although it has a very clean aesthetic the rest of points remain. The fact it came out around the same time as Venom is hilarious to me because Upgrade is by far the better "mind/body controlling parasite/chip/symbiote" movie. It's one of those funny things that happens like Olympus has fallen/Whitehouse down, Bugs life/Antz, Over the Hedge/Madagascar, Barbie/Oppenheimer (j/k) coming out together. If you like Upgrade then the book Amped by Daniel H Wilson is right up your alley.
Leigh Whannell*, why do people always spell his name wrong 😢 No but really Upgrade is an amazing underrated little sci-fi gem. It’s dirty and gritty, and I love it when the evil AI wins.
I noticed after I uploaded and wanted to drop to the floor quite honestly. I’ve been reading up on the movie and him all bloody week as well. So stupid!
I feel like re-watching Upgrade again, thanks to you mate. Lol you do kinda look like Daniel Radcliffe✌🏽. I did forget the Villain of Upgrade wanting people to be “upgraded” as a motive and a personal want. Thinking cybernetic enhancements would make “super people” better than regular people. Very interesting.
I feel really guilty that I didn't get around to seeing Upgrade until earlier this year. Fantastic movie. I remember seeing it advertised a lot when it came out, but even back in 2018 I was so cynical that I just assumed Hollywood was incapable of making a good cyberpunk movie that was actually dark.
Thank you for Thai breakdown, this was great. I love this movie, ironically I’ve only recently watched it after having it on my radar for at least a year. Since watching the movie a couple of excellent reviews on RUclips have come out. It’s really incredible how fantastic a movie this is especially when considering the budget. Is there talk of a sequel??? Seems that a cult following has developed. The studio should really look into it
These are the times we live in: We cling to the things we know and don't even dream of giving new ideas a chance. While Star Trek is remaking the Wrath of Khan, Star Wars is digging old Palpatine out of the closet. Even with strong and established IPs, no new ideas are realised. But who is really to blame here? The studios that spend millions of dollars and prefer to play it safe? Or us, the viewers, who are not willing to spend money on an overpriced evening at the cinema for a film that they don't know whether it will suit their taste?
The first fight was really funny because STEM’s fighting efficiently while the MC was in horror over his body beating up a man before killing the enemy with the knife.
The action was amazing in this film. Just goes to show when you actually listen to the experts (the stunt crew). Too many big budget films with big egos ruining films.
Underrated film, right there! Although, I would argue that the Upgrade film works best if you know nothing about it. And yes, it is the better Venom movie indeed
@@FullFatVideos , No Never! I re watched it Last night (coz of HS and FF) with a Different perspective and a new set of Eyes! Plus the Budget, Stuntmen from n being Shot in Australia, same Director of Invisible Man which Is Amazing etc! Thanks Mate n Love your Content! Cheers 🍻
Hi Matt, I'm a huge fan of your channel and I really love the high quality you deliver every time. Could you make a video about how typical "feel-good-movies" work? I recently was forced to watch The Out-Laws on Netflix and despite not exactly being an oscar winning piece of art (flat characters, an obvious plot etc.) it in fact does put a smile on my face. How did they do that? Is it usually linked to the fool triumphant genre like Blake Snyder defined it?
Fantastic movie, watched it at first for the fight scenes with the brilliant camerawork, but loved it for, well, pretty much everything. STEM from the end of Upgrade would absolutely take the world without any difficulty, although its hard for a human to imagine how it would do it. Probably it would just invent nanotechnology and disassemble all humans into their component elements in under a month. Not the most thrilling in terms of cinematography, but it would present a really good ticking deadline if Logan was able to try and reassert control within that month.
Stem would defo get a hold of those sneezing nano machines lol. But I think it would be more interesting to see it develop in the world and try and take some kind of established political power or play the economy!
Upgrade was great, I regret not seeing it in a theater. I honestly don't even remember when in the year it released and why I didn't see it. Kind of the same thing with M3GAN earlier in 2023. Like, why did I wait for the rental from Redbox (because screw streaming services)? I should be supporting these lower budget movies more often because they've been highly more enjoyable than the big budget stuff lately, and the more stuff like this gets in theaters and stays there because of good reception, the more balanced out theaters will be and Hollywood can actually support itself again and the current writers and actor strikes wouldn't be as long running as they have been (although these strikes are still very much warranted because they come from a place of changing technology and compensating for that, not just because the CEOs keep banking on things that keep flopping).
@@FullFatVideos In the US, it's usually all cinemas or none. You have to be pretty niche to get a limited release if not just stuck at film festivals. I remember seeing a number of TV spots for Upgrade, I'm sure it was a wide release. But also I'm in Orlando, Florida, so maybe in the Midwest and the further west into mountain country you go, the more select things become, and then you have the West Coast where it's all available again.
@@FullFatVideos Different contracts? American made movies would likely play on all screens here, but foreign films will always be less spread. Even with the similarities between American and British cultures, the movies still have to be imported, so international contracts for certain theaters would apply. At least, that makes sense to me. I'm not looking up any of this to see if I'm right, I'm just running on pure confidence.
Absolutely incredible film, but I couldn't help but laugh when we get a massive aerial shot of this supposedly futuristic city and it's just shitty Melbourne skyline.
As an American I didn't clock it but the fact it's the technology rich future and it's still shitty looking and technology is just being used to give people cars they can't control and the police the best tech made it feel pretty real to me.
In regards to a hypothetical sequel in the STEM half of the story there's the issue of STEM's rationality being effected by human brain and hormone chemistry. Until it completely subvertes Gray it's never had to deal with serotonin overload or the multiple dopamine hits that are a decent breakfast and strong coffee. These wouldn't just be a distraction, they could be crippling to a being that's never had them.
I feel like he would do the best version you could do with a haggard idea like remaking a classic, but it would still be a shame to hear him doing something like that. Whereas Green Hornet and Kato im very excited by because we’ve never gotten an incredible film adaptation
@@FullFatVideosI'm sorry. I can't seem to find the video. I may have gotten a suggestion for an old video before seeing your upload. Nevertheless, great work!
@@FullFatVideos thats fair also i think rrr is a tollywood movie not nollywood there's a bunch of different factions in the indian film industry like bollywood is for the hindi language, tollywood is for telugu etc
Ok, so this is weird. a few days ago I finished watching Terminator movies, even the bad ones, which led me to grad Terminator Resistance on Steam. Decent game, pay less than $20 for it, it isnt particularly great. Then when I thought my Terminator, and hell Robo Cop adjacent algorithm had run its course, suddenly up comes Full Fat. And it was good. Which seems to be the tread these days on legacy sequels, just when you think its done or dead a new director or creator says or does something that piques your interest again.
@FullFatVideos Ive seen each one individually before but never one after the other. The first 3 still hold up well and I do have a soft spot for Salvation. But man does the quality go down so fast after 3. Which makes Upgrade such a fun movie. It's so refreshing to see a film cross between AI control with a symbiotic relationship and a fucking murderbot. If Terminator did that as a sequel, a chip of Skynets AI trapped in an enhanced humans body, that would be a story to tell. Maybe not a good one, but the bar isnt set very high.
I liked the movie until the last 10 minutes, the evil robot was it all along is pretty boring. Plus, STEM couldn't have foreseen all that happend but yet, in the end, the movie pretended he could / had. Didn't belived that.
I think it had a pretty intricate plan but still had to rely on risking things to enact it I.e. exhausting all tactical options with Fisk in the fight or trying to go independent from Erin’s control. Stem could have lost multiple times but it managed to pull it all off
I appreciate you for covering this movie. Having (finally) watched it a couple years back, I was blown away by how they were able to do so much with such a small budget in 90 min. Plus the ending is insane.
@@FullFatVideos Same here. It is worth mentioning though that since Australia’s film industry isn’t as big as America, their films mostly have smaller budgets as a result. Though there are some gems that shine such as Talk to Me, which I’d recommend checking out.
Stem sounds very close to one of my favorite book trilogies. T2 by S.M. Stirling, books were commissioned to help build hype for the T3 movie. The novels have the 'Temporal Cold War' later featured in TV's SCC. Following Sarah, John and some people with interests related to the events of T1 and T2. The main minion of Skynet sent back is an augmented human raised in Skynet's black-sites, experimented on and implanted with 'the chip' so it can integrate with the host (plus a number of extra CPU's and power cells to build with after displacement). A lot like STEM, the dialog and action between human/CPU/Skynet adds so much gravity to the narrative. And in case anyone is wondering 'Hey, that book series sounds good, bet it would have made better script material than T3/4/5/6/7/8...'. Yes.
Gray definitely doesn’t get a happy ending. His body still ages, STEM will eventually move on, so one day, he’ll wake up as an 85 year old quadriplegic who lost his whole entire life living in a dream world that will eventually be taken from him.

Upgrade, 3-5 million dollars.
Secret invasion, 212 million dollars.
Man, theres a ton of perspective we can get from this.
It’s actually crazy those shows get made for that much when upgrade exists
Geez that's enlightening man. That's like 40x as much for a vastly inferior project
Came out before Venom and ended up being the better Venom movie.
#AviAradOut
No doubt in my mind they both came from the same script.
Even the actors look so similar
I doubt they came from the same script, they’re structured very differently and about very different things

The fight scenes are crazy good
Upgrade was one of the few movies I went to see that year because it wasn't just another superhero flick. No regrets, it's a blast!
It puts a lot of superhero movies to shame in terms of the bang for your buck
yearly movie releases are probably in the thousands, Superhero movies are maybe 10-20 each year. There is much more releasing each week than just superhero movies ;) sure, a lot coming isn't probably that great, making a good movie is really difficult, but still
I don't own many movies, physically, but this was one of the ones I had to get. Such a masterfully crafted movie.
I also felt I had to own the blu ray for my own viewing pleasure and also to support it
Glad to see this movie getting some recognition. When I originally watched it I couldn't stop recommending it to everyone.
Same!!! Certified banger
Loved this when I stumbled onto it. The concept, the action sequences, the camera work, all so captivating. Plus it doesn't overstay it's welcome with a runtime of 100 minutes.
Love this!!!
Criminally underrated movie. One of the best scifi films of the last decade.
100%
I've heard about that movie on RUclips and it was one of the coolest surprises in the last decade for me. HIGHLY underrated movie! 😍
Where did you hear about it on here?
@@FullFatVideos does the Nostalgia critic ring a bell? When he did a review on Venom, he said Upgrade achieved the movies goals much better.
The acting, the world-building, cinematography, the precision in action, the camera-work, all on a LOW BUDGET!! This movie is incredibly remarkable and horrendously underrated my god!!
The fact it’s this good and was made for nothing just makes it so much cooler

This movie was VERY good. The atmosphere and set design are both subtle and enthralling.
All made for next to nothing, so impressive
You did the UPGRADE video. I love this movie, more people need to see it. I can’t express how much I love this. 💙💜💙💜💙
Thank you so much!!
Freakin dope movie.
Yes Nick!!!!
The reason Upgrade was able to get made is that it's an Australian movie and made outside the Hollywood studio system
Loved this film, super under rated
It's crazy how they made such a believable sci-fi universe with only a few million dollars, a fraction of the budget of most Hollywood movies and way better than most of them
I've heard there was supposed to be a sequel or a TV show but who knows if that will happen since this movie was wildly under appreciated
Agreed. Upgrade is what a modern reboot of Terminator could be if they tried
It blows all terminator movies past 2 out of the water
@FullFatVideos i still have a soft spot for Salvation but man I wish they had kept the original ending
Upgrade was easily my FAVORITE SciFy horror film alongside Ex Machina. The fact it slid under the radar is absurd.
Upgrade is great
The facial expressions on his face during all the fight scenes in this were awesome.
It makes it so funny
Loved Upgrade. So much show on a low budget. Ideas are worth more than CGI.
story always comes first!

This is why I made this video!
It's crazy that they made this movie in a budget of just $5 million! How did they even pay Tom Hardy for this?
I think he ate so much food he split into two entities
Oh hell yes! Upgrade is a very very underappreciated movie in my opinion!
Agreed!!!
Best Venom movie released that year
I’ve always felt that after watching both movies that Upgrade was what Venom should have been!
A far superior movie! And Venom should have been Rated R
The action was amazing in this film. Just goes to show when you actually listen to the experts (the stunt crew). Too many big budget films with big egos ruining films.
This movie is like cyberpunk but if Johnny silverhand was a soulless A.I
Underrated film, right there! Although, I would argue that the Upgrade film works best if you know nothing about it. And yes, it is the better Venom movie indeed

Interesting.
Mostly because I'd argue that it's actually more the better budget version of Venom. Even down to having the chips n beans Tom Hardy.
It is a better venom but it’s heart is not a superhero movie, in terms of the r rating and the themes at play it’s more evocative of hard 80s sci fi.

If Terminator did that as a sequel, a chip of Skynets AI trapped in an enhanced humans body, that would be a story to tell. Maybe not a good one, but the bar isnt set very high.
dude looks like tom hardy
I liked the movie until the last 10 minutes, the evil robot was it all along is pretty boring. Plus, STEM couldn't have foreseen all that happend but yet, in the end, the movie pretended he could / had. Didn't belived that.
I think it had a pretty intricate plan but still had to rely on risking things to enact it I.e. exhausting all tactical options with Fisk in the fight or trying to go independent from Erin’s control. Stem could have lost multiple times but it managed to pull it all off
This movie did everything VENOM failed to do
AVI ARAD ruined everything
It is a better venom for sure

They should let Leigh Whannel direct a sequel to M3GAN
Ahsoka tano was always a bad character from the start

I appreciate you for covering this movie. Having (finally) watched it a couple years back, I was blown away by how they were able to do so much with such a small budget in 90 min. Plus the ending is insane.
It really is consistently incredible, I still can’t believe it was made for that
@@FullFatVideos Same here. It is worth mentioning though that since Australia’s film industry isn’t as big as America, their films mostly have smaller budgets as a result. Though there are some gems that shine such as Talk to Me, which I’d recommend checking out.
Love this film. Was a better Venom film than Venom ☺
Stem sounds very close to one of my favorite book trilogies. T2 by S.M. Stirling, books were commissioned to help build hype for the T3 movie.
The novels have the 'Temporal Cold War' later featured in TV's SCC. Following Sarah, John and some people with interests related to the events of T1 and T2. The main minion of Skynet sent back is an augmented human raised in Skynet's black-sites, experimented on and implanted with 'the chip' so it can integrate with the host (plus a number of extra CPU's and power cells to build with after displacement).
A lot like STEM, the dialog and action between human/CPU/Skynet adds so much gravity to the narrative. And in case anyone is wondering 'Hey, that book series sounds good, bet it would have made better script material than T3/4/5/6/7/8...'. Yes.
Absolutely loved this movie
Ace!!!
Gray definitely doesn’t get a happy ending. His body still ages, STEM will eventually move on, so one day, he’ll wake up as an 85 year old quadriplegic who lost his whole entire life living in a dream world that will eventually be taken from him.
It's called Venom,not upgrade.
Venom wishes it was Upgrade
