POPULARITY
This week the boys are joined by a special guest and Paul struggles to contain his excitement. "Upgrade," released in 2018 and directed by Leigh Whannell, is a thought-provoking and action-packed science fiction film that explores the convergence of human and artificial intelligence. The story follows Grey Trace, portrayed by Logan Marshall-Green, a technophobe who becomes paralyzed and loses his wife in a brutal attack. In a bid to regain his independence and seek revenge, he agrees to an experimental computer chip implant called STEM. This AI implant not only allows him to walk again but also grants him enhanced physical abilities and remarkable combat skills. As Grey delves deeper into the criminal underworld, the film raises profound questions about the consequences of merging man and machine, with STEM's influence over Grey leading to a suspenseful and thrilling narrative. "Upgrade" is particularly notable for its inventive and stylized action sequences, which are elevated by the choreography that melds human movement with the artificial precision of the AI. The film's exploration of the ethical and philosophical implications of merging humans with technology is a key theme, making it more than just a standard action movie. The plot's many twists and turns, along with a solid performance by Marshall-Green, keep viewers engaged throughout the film. "Upgrade" is a compelling example of how science fiction can explore the evolving relationship between humans and technology while delivering a high-octane, cyberpunk-infused story.

Contrairement aux attentes, Upgrade n’est ni un revenge-movie, ni un film de super-pouvoirs. Le deuxième long-métrage de Leigh Whannell raconte l’histoire de Grey Trace, un mécanicien old-school dont la vie bascule lors d’un accident. Une seconde chance s’offre à lui sous la forme d’une puce d’intelligence artificielle qu’il s’implante et qui décuple ses capacités. Un scénario futuriste qui se déroule dans un univers virtuel auquel il n’est pas facile d’adhérer tant ce qui apparait à l’écran est cheap : scène de course-poursuite au ralenti, bagarres ultra chorégraphiées, décors et costumes peu inventifs. Upgrade reste un film à petit budget et sans prétention, à appréhender comme une série B qui ne révolutionne rien.
