No spoilers. The only name I mentioned in my post is Grey and I didn't give out any other details so where are the spoilers? :- undecided

A sequel would be perfect. I felt the movie was too short because of the intensity and mind-blowing twist that left viewers panting for more.

Hulk vs Thanos,Battle of Wakanda,the fight on titan undecided


IMO hulk vs thanks fight wasn't epic. We all expected more. As for the rest, I was referring to one on one battle.

Upgrade. 20/10

Stem na baddest nigga. criminal mastermind. Very brilliant twist. I haven't been this stunned since The Others. can someone provide me the directors personal bank acct, I wan carry all my life savings give am. What a gee.

Exactly why I rated it as the best action movie of the year. Those that haven't watched it should do so.

The action sequence is top notch and far better than one on one action sequence in avengers.

Infinity war is better but Upgrade tried. The two cannot really compare directly because it will be very unfair to Upgrade. Infinity war is a sci-fi blockbuster that spent a lot of money polishing it's cgi enhanced action sequences. On a 55" 4k tv, the graphics is out of this world. But for For a low budget sci-fi psychological action mystery, Upgrade punched well above it's weight. It managed to put a lot of high budgeted sci-fis to shame. The directer deserves an oscar.

Part 2 would ruin it. The movie's message is apparent: Beware of AI. What's TAU?

There wasn't much one-on-one fighting in Infinity War. So if we're going to be doing comparison based on that, you can say Upgrade is the best one-on-one action movie. But when it comes to sheer action extravaganza, even Deadpool shits on Upgrade.

jeez, no sequels needed, stem won, case closed. The viewers panting for more is the best way to end such movies. I'm satisfied with it ending this way.

Upgrade one on one is better than the OTT action sequence on Deadpool 2 bro. Deadpool 1 is better but Deadpool 2 is inferior.

There were a lot of one on ones. Ebony macau vs Dr Strange. Hulk vs Thanos. Steve rogers and black widow vs the two Thanos warriors. Iron man vs Thanos. Thor vs Thanos. The big thanos monster vs Bruce banner. Black widow vs one half of the thanos duo. so many.

There's something very endearing about STEM. Maybe it its unemotional practicality. That practicality however is a reminder of how cold-blooded the thing really is. Cold blooded, manipulative and inhuman

That aptly describes it to a tee.

It depends though. A good writer can spin a crazy sequel from this first one. Many of the good movies we remember were supposed to be standalone movies but the reception forced the producer's hand and the resultant sequels dwarfed the original ones. Anyway if this one ends here, then kudos to them. For once, an unpredictable sci-fi movie.

Good that you have buttressed my point.

Upgrade is a low budget movie that put all high budget sci fi action movie to shame. Doesn't it deserves the tag as the best action movie of the year?

Despite the gore, it was able to blend comedy and humour into the movie.

Without big money and CGI, avengers is nothing. I love avengers movie but upgrade has really impressed me the most.

Upgrade has shown us that you don't need to have big money to produce a top notch movie.

And like avengers, the bad guy wins.

Exactly, not only AI but also human body modifications especially with the gun implants.

But I would love to watch the part2 movie in the cinemas, if they intend to make it

As you were earlier told, there were many one on one fights in avengers but which one can you say is top notch?

As for deadpool2, that movie is shiit. It wasn't half the top notch action sequence in upgrade. Wasn't too impressed.

Apart from Maw Vs Dr. Strange and Hulk Vs Thanos, the rest ain't one-on-one.

Apparently, we've all gone subjective. Well, to each their own.
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by JeromeBlack: 10:41am On Sep 04, 2018
It must be a Nigerian thing where people cannot give a simple analysis.

Deadpool and Antman are action comedies. You should understand that you are biased naturally against these movies if you don't like comedy. So before you rate such movies, you should consider your bias.

Then we also have the issue of people comparing infinity war to uphrade. Really?

Upgrade.. 9+1/10
Genre: SciFi

SPOILER ALERT
my initial theory from the onset when Grey & his wife had that accident & were brutally mugged was that Eron was the mastermind but at the very end, it was made clear that Eron was also a puppet for Stem, I couldn't help but appreciate the unexpected brilliant twist.

This movie is a proof that you don't need all the special effect in the world to make an amazing SciFi movie. For this, its a +1 to my ratings.

Thanos vs strange is one on one. iron man vs thanos is one on one (iron man made him bleed), steve rogers vs the male half of thanos assassins in the battle of wakanda is one on one. Bruce banner in a mech suit vs thanos destroyer in the battle of wakanda is one on one. black widow vs the female half of thanos assassins in the battle of wakanda is one on one. Scarlett witch vs thanos in the battle of wakanda is one on one. Steve and black widow vs thanos assassins in glasgow is one on one. they are all very brief encounters but each and everyone qualifies as one on ones.

A one-on-one action sequence or a one-on-one action scene?

Are you sure you know the difference between a sequence and a scene?

You have to understand this scenes are shot separately and independently of each other and then were glued together via editing.
