Upgrade is a solid action sci-fi movie that never overstays its welcome. The premise is simple and the execution surprisingly good. The action is snappy really well put together. This is brought home by a streamlined plot and servicable performances all round.
Talent really shines through on movies with such a small budget ($3 Million according to a quick google). Every single penny is on display here, the visuals are all present and correct (even if rather boring) and there is absolutely no garish CGI on display. The fight scenes have a robotic fluidity to them that you rarely see.
The 4K bluray is a slight *upgrade* over the 1080p but the film lacks the cinematography to really take advantage of the format. The audio is fine.
