Sometimes it's good to go into a movie without knowing anything about it. This is not one of those times. If I'd read about it I would never have watched it. It's a third rate knock off of Blade Runner, The Matrix and Robocop, but not a tenth as good as any of those films. Avoid. Unless you are into third rate knock offs of Blade Runner, The Matrix and Robocop.
shareit kept me entertained all the way until the ending which I thought sucked. felt like a lot of lead up for that stupid ending. I thought with all the foreshadowing he gave how man could do more than machine he would take control and beat it. what a real let down.
shareI loved it for surrender and reprise . very fortunate I was given demeanor taxes to endeavor thoracic benchmark for this film
shareHow is it like Blade Runner? It's set in a bleak future? That's hardly a knock off.
How is it like the Matrix? I can't think of anything significant copied from there.
Robocop? Really?
I've already answered this in the comments:
Robocop - similar themes of lead character dying at the beginning and being revived to fight evil
Matrix - fight scenes with camera placement to try and add drama
Blade Runner - Corporations running a dystopian society in the future involving technology.
None of the themes were done well really.
It had nothing to do with Blade Runner, Matrix, or Robocop.
It's a typical theme in SF novels that someone has a computerized device that takes them over, sometimes for good, so it's not that original. But, for movies it is and the films you mentioned aren't about that.
Ummm...I've seen Blade Runner and The Matrix and I enjoyed Upgrade WAY more than those other two. It held my attention the entire time (rare for me because I have ADD) and if anything I wish it had been longer! 9/10
shareI had heard a lot of good things about it and it wasn't terrible but nowhere near as good as I had hoped. It's a one and done for me.
