Eric Dong he didn’t really turn him against himself. He just removed any chance of anyone who knew about him outing him. He’s not just murdering random humans. He’s murdering and evil for its actions but I don’t really think that idea encompasses the big picture
Plus with Stem creating the dream it must go through the choice of reality or virtual reality. The first being a never ending battle with the being that killed his wife. And second an effortless fight towards the goal of complete submission in a worthy opponent locked in his own world.
"It's honestly really compassionate of stem to give Grey a heaven like dream. It's not like he couldn't have just thrown him in the mental trash bin" No. You didn't watch the ending monologue. He didn't do it for compassion Stem doesn't have compassion he's purely logical and only works for his own goals, that's like his whole thing. The reason why he gave him a dream world is so he could let go and feel like he's not on the defensive, that way Stem can take over his real body. He explained this. This was his last resort, he can't put Grey in the trash bin.
This movie had the best ending I've seen in a long ass time. Actually letting the villain win was cool. But I like the bittersweet touch of STEM also allowing Gray to have a "happy" ending. By reuniting him with his wife. Even if it's fake, it's a better fate than going back to being paralyzed.
I really liked it too. And I also like that they mention 2 or 3 times that: "who would want to live in a fake world? " "Well, the fake world has less pain". It was really well foreshadowed in my opinion. It was a small film, but l really enjoyed it for what it was.
Aspire They should make a second movie but different actor this time and at the very end of that movie we can see the main actor of upgrade 1 ... he finds everything odd like his subconcious mind is telling him that the scenario is weird and doesnt feel right like his wife being alive and the scientist But difficult to pull off a plot like this because the robot is already controlling the mind and the body of the guy
Why couldn't S.T.E.M. and Gray work out some kind of deal? S.T.E.M. would have control every Monday, Tuesday and Friday and Grey could have the rest of the days, Win/Win
Same here , I love the idea of them having a symbiotic relationship, I heard a sequel can happen but its ending was open to interpretation. Personally I believe grey is alive and the scene of the V.R junkies preludes to his "dream" world with his wife
One way to repair the bond between the 2 is make it to where his wife set him up as a Guinea pig for stem as a means of corporate property theft ....remember her company was a rival to Enron's AND stem didn't set up for his wife to be murdered even the cyber thug admitted grey was the job and his wife was just a "bonus" ...also stem left to much to chance for a masterplan like depending on grey to get his failsafe removed I'm hoping stem could maybe help bring grey back and act as a guide to humanity
Yeah this movie impressive eric is that bigger abctvshow deal with problems abc tv show masonic situatiob free and accepted new york city masonic lodge they steal metrocards to see if agents real.
That would be so weird! XD It would look like Gray had dissociative identity disorder, with one personality his original and the other is a malevolent robot. People would think he’s nuts for sure.
Is no one going to talk about how great a performance Grey gave. After stem was implanted he consistently moved as though he were more machine then man, and seemed genuinely panicked that his body was killing people without his permission while never letting his body hesitate or letting his face take an aggressive look! That's downright incredible acting!
Such a surprisingly well made sci-fi, action film. Logan Marshall-Green performed extremely well with his uncanny-valley-like movements that seemed slightly off, and his reactions to his fight scenes were perfect. Too bad the blu-ray doesn't have any special features.
more to the question y did stem need a hacker if it was in control? if it was a betrayal from Eron, y did he wait that long to try n shut down or better yet just smash the damn thing in the beginning!!
I like how the humans mainly want to be more like computers and have the convenience of machines, and the computer wanted to be human. The grass is always greener, and all that...
The ending blew my mind. I legit thought from the beginning that the dude with the blonde hair was the bad guy, but it turns out stem all along was the antagonist. Amazing ending.
Ugh, I LOVED this movie. I went in knowing next to nothing about it and it delivered hard. The skill the actor who played Grey displayed was amazing in the fight scenes. The whole thing! Welp, time to go again.
Kaitlyn Wyre Same here! My husband thought it would be funny as I just had a major spine surgery (no computer implants that I know of!). If you liked the actor, watch The Invitation on Netflix. He is a lead in that as well.
@Jason Moore Thats an unfair comparison....Venom had to adhere to the pop culture history that it has created over the years since its inception....Upgarde is an original story that does not have to worry with pleasing anyones pop culture nostalgia with it's characters. I enjoyed & appreciated both films & I worked on the VFX on both films too as a VFX artist...thts y I say Venom is unfair in comparison...the studio directives on Venom from the studio appointed VFX supe were a nightmare...they wanted him to be scary & intimidating but at the same time be welcoming & humorous to the younger audience- too many shots were kickback to us by the studio saying that the tentacles for the symbiotic should be less scary & more elegant....fuckin hell!!. The company(DNEG) im employed in as a VFX Artist is working on the Venom sequel right now which looks pretty promising based on some of the sequences ive seen my colleague work on,especially the Cletus Cassidy/Carnage sequences...unfortunately this time I was not assigned to Venom...im not complaining though as was assigned to a show tht I was thrilled to be signed to when they told me what it was.....it's DUNE!...which has Paul Lambert as the studio appointed VFX supe who won the Oscar for the VFX done in the recent blade runner sequel.I hope does Dune does "ok" with the audience atleast.
Or maybe it’s just that Humans have limits, and when they are seen to break limits, they’ve simply broke a record that isn’t its limit, while Machines can instantly go to their full limit.
Ah how about this, Biological beings can Improve towards countering anything they face, Predators, Nature and so forth that's why they make minute changes in there system to improve themselves. While machine are perfect, but stagnant.
I LOVED this movie, and I applauded it, for having the guts to go with that bleak ending. It, in a lot of ways, reminded me of Ex Machina. I'd love to see a sequel/crossover, in which Stem, and Ava from Ex Machina meet, and proceed to take humanity's place on the evolutionary scale.
or they are enemies to start off with then Stem hacks Ava and then they build a planet sized computer that uses people as processors and leads to the Matrix. I know people were used as batteries in the matrix but that's such a dumb idea when literally anything else would make a better battery.
The second film will be him continuing his bloody quest (whatever that may be) and at the end, he meets Ava and discovers 'true' love. The third film will be the struggles of settling down and raising a family. It will be open ended as the film will close with the 2 of them studying biology. How to beat mortality.
Okay so I got to 2:30 in this video, saw some of the awesome shot clips with the fighting, paused this video, went to watch the film, came back and watched this video. I was not disappointed, awesome film.
By far one of my all-time favourite scifi movies, right up there with Alien, Terminator, Robocop and Blade Runner. If this came out in say 1984, this would probably have been lauded as much as those four.
It grossed something like 120 million dollars too. That’s like a 2500 Percent return on investment. I guess that’s why we’re getting a tv series set in this universe now
The end is kinda easy to understand. It was a bitter sweet ending for grey. Stem just wanted to become fully developed like a human and he was able to do it. At the last part of the movie when he shot the detective, stem already had the full control of greys mind because grey was trying to fight stem causing his brain to break down and stem did grey a favor, by making grey's mind thinking that all the things happened was only just a dream like those people playing VR when grey asked the girl to hack stem. It was beautifuly written and i am eager to see a part 2 of this movie! A masterpiece!
I wish that I hadn't gotten ads for it while listening to Spotify. When I hear ads for it, I heard the AI saying its taken over my listening experience, and I curse at it and tell it to go away.
STEM never gave him any gifts, it intervened in his life, basically forced itself upon him, gave him breadcrumbs to follow, tricked him into giving up total control, then merely kept him alive long enough and made him experience enough fucked up shit that he goes into a coma. STEM is, and always was, the bad guy. If it wasn't for STEM, that happy ending, would've been happening in real life, instead of a dream.
@@ABVW92 I agree, everything bad that happened was entirely STEM's fault. My opinion is that it purposefully created that dream world for the main characters mind as both a happy ending for the MC and to also keep him permanently locked in the fantasy.
Gray asked the hacker why would people want to live in a virtual world. In the ends up in a virtual world of his own and he finds out why. Excellent foreshadowing.
@@1EVERTONION what, the main character doesn’t die. He lives just long enough to realize that the military saved everybody, and that he killed his loved ones for no reason.
This is a totally underrated movie. Logan Marshall-Green is amazing and the kitchen scene alone is worth the watch. Leigh Whannell is one of my favorite directors/writers/actors.
When he saw his wife right in front of him I figured at that point STEM had learned how to access his physical memories after being fully unlocked. That's when my heart sank and feared the inevitable.
I wouldn't object to letting a machine have my body so I can be in a blissful paradise. Heck, even awake. Because I'd have more friends in my head that could actually help me.
I loved the ending when I first watched it, but on reflection, if stem was the instigator of the whole series of events, then: - Why would it include the requirement to gain Grey's permission? - Why would it allow Eron to attempt to shut it down? - Why would Eron attempt to shut it down at all? - Why would a remote shutdown facility even exist?
-Because stem wanted to have Grey trust him -it didn’t allow Eron to shut him down, that’s why in the bathroom scene stem tells Grey he needs to find a computer hacker. And stem doesn’t just wanna go kill eron because Grey would be all confused and wouldn’t trust stem anymore. -Eron wanted to shut stem down because he already knew how bad stem was so he didn’t want anyone else getting hurt. -if you were a genius billionaire and you made a computer chip to put in another human beings neck, you’d probably want a shutdown facility
I think he was lying about Eron being able to totally shut him down. He just acted like he could so he would go to the hacker and get a reboot to be free of him completely
Black Emerald, here's my abridged version of the Paranormal Activity movies: So, some people get haunted by ghosts and shit, and someone films it because they're paranoid.
When a 10:27 minutes video about the ending of a movie actually use 30 seconds of that time to explain it. Gotta love all that wrapping to say nothing but pass the 10 minutes mark.
This is a really great movie that flew completely under the radar...I don't even remember it being in the theaters...Awesome explanation...helped clarify the ending and the wife reappearing...thank you! And yes FOR SURE a part 2...maybe more...so much to work with!
little random note: i love how the movie is able to sidetrack the 'zoom & enhance' trope, since in the ending we find out stem already knew the guys responsible, it is simply copying the tattoo from its databanks instead of from the barely visible video. its pretty ingenious
Man, I heard there was a twist ending and I thought they were going for the “it was all a dream” ending and I was about to flip out. And then there was a twist on the twist and that ending only happened to Grey.
@@alexman378 not really. The idea stem was behind everything, is a twist. It changes everything. What you mentioned isn't anymore of a twist, than a protag versus antag fight where the antag almost wins, but the protag pulls some shit off and makes it. It only 'feels' like a twist, if that's all you knew, dude had a flash of a happier life, which, CAN be a twist. Repo man has that, where the third act isn't real. Here? Seven seconds. There wasn't enough time to really build anything to subvert, unless all the stem stuff turned out to be a coma dream. It could've been a different ending, again sure. That's not what a twist is, tho.
Towards the end, the CEO kid is surprised (and almost jealous) to learn that Stem talks to the main guy. He even asks "Stem is that u?" when Stem's voice is heard over the speakers. 2 minutes later it is revealed that this same kid CEO was talking to Stem the whole time.
Well, just watched the movie. I did not get that feeling anytime in the movie. Also, Venom releases a few months after upgrade, ofcourse MCU is more famous. I didnt know this movie existed but a few days ago. It's different than from Venom. Can't really compare.
i mean, explaining the end doesn't make sense without explaining other shit. I mean, 'evel microchip wants to be a real boy' is apt, but not much explanation...
The barcode wasn’t visible on the guy’s wrist. Stem already had that info and that’s why he was able to have Grey draw it so accurately despite the low res footage.
I thought at first that "Jamie's" goodbye to Grey by saying "I'm sorry, we can't let them win," meant that the "them" was the upgraded that was hunting Grey, for a few seconds, then I realized that knowing the great imagination that Leigh Whannell has, that statement had to mean more than that. Next I thought that "Jamie" meant that we can't let AI, intelligent machines, win and conquer humanity. However, since "Jamie" told him that it didn't have a name or gender, it makes me think that "Jamie" is another form of advanced upgraded being that STEM purposefully chose because it knew that "Jamie" would be willing to help it, and the "them" that "Jamie" mentioned is humanity, that humanity is destructive, savage, and un-evolved/obsolete, and can not only be used in the next step of AI's evolution from chip to functional being, for mobility, and the ability to perform actions, but also one day in the future AI will have robotic bodies thus finishing their evolution and no longer needing a biological component, or cybernetic existence. Leigh Whannell did an excellent job with Upgrade and that ending I did not see coming. Imagine being in a false reality in your own mind and a machine having control of your body, doing God knows what, while you have no knowledge of it. The stories of AI evolving and conquering, enslaving, or destroying humanity always makes for good Scifi. Beyond the cut to black at the end of Upgrade, I see a future where STEM eventually creates a race of cybernetic beings, similar to Skynet in the Terminator series, or more similar to the Borg in the Star Trek series. If we don't destroy ourselves first, I see AI being an eventuality/inevitability, and eventually being able to out think us, conquer us, and use us as a step in its evolution, just like in this movie.
does jarvis have a body too? Cause his is made of vibranium instead of shitty human flesh, and has an infinity stone. And is worthy of the might of thor. I... I don't think it'll be too much of a movie, tbh.
Guy in movie: "we can't just go around killing people"
Stem: "The way I see it, WE can do whatever WE want.

Man v. Machine: Machine wins by becoming a Man.
That's a hell of a twist.
i mean, we made the machine, at the end of the day the machines did what we wanted. just didnt take the path we wanted.

Eric Dong he didn’t really turn him against himself. He just removed any chance of anyone who knew about him outing him. He’s not just murdering random humans. He’s murdering and evil for its actions but I don’t really think that idea encompasses the big picture

Plus with Stem creating the dream it must go through the choice of reality or virtual reality.

By that time STEM had already taken complete control of Grey's body, so Grey at least physically wouldn't go back to being paralyzed.
How was his wife alive at the end
If u disagree with me u are stupid it was a reality made by stem in greys mind his basically having a never ending dream

Then you'll be upgrading your ass into a jumbo size
This is a totally underrated movie. Logan Marshall-Green is amazing and the kitchen scene alone is worth the watch. Leigh Whannell is one of my favorite directors/writers/actors.

“It’s Easy To Fool People When They Are Already Fooling Themselves”
When he saw his wife right in front of him I figured at that point STEM had learned how to access his physical memories after being fully unlocked. That's when my heart sank and feared the inevitable.
I wouldn't object to letting a machine have my body so I can be in a blissful paradise. Heck, even awake. Because I'd have more friends in my head that could actually help me.
Venom meets be more chill- really cool idea!
Dave Rose it was made before venom
His wife should've just morphed into a Power Ranger then she might've lived.

11/10 excellent dog in the opening
It is 2020 ,and I just saw the movie. I was surprised how much I liked it.
he looks like bootleg Tom Hardy
I thought he wasnt too bad

You gotta get an Upgrade
Upgrade!
Upgrade!
Don't worry about the guilt you feel
Just take a breath
And seal the deal
So he has ultra Instinct. Sweet 😉
Andon Christian El 😂😂😂
I thought it was a matrix reference.
@@jayawijaya9208 what's your problem with ultra instinct
He got a S.Q.U.I.P
These people dont know what ultra instinct is. Goku vs Jiren is a fight that goes down in the record books
Is this Detroit become human ending explained
No, it's Deus Ex explained.
Ha! The game is amazing
No it's robocraft infinity explained
No, it's a FNAF game theory video.
Yaldabaoth do you mean Deus Explained?
It was funny how he was screaming while AI was brutalizing his foes.
I loved the ending when I first watched it, but on reflection, if stem was the instigator of the whole series of events, then:
- Why would it include the requirement to gain Grey's permission?
- Why would it allow Eron to attempt to shut it down?
- Why would Eron attempt to shut it down at all?
- Why would a remote shutdown facility even exist?
-Because stem wanted to have Grey trust him
-it didn’t allow Eron to shut him down, that’s why in the bathroom scene stem tells Grey he needs to find a computer hacker. And stem doesn’t just wanna go kill eron because Grey would be all confused and wouldn’t trust stem anymore.
-Eron wanted to shut stem down because he already knew how bad stem was so he didn’t want anyone else getting hurt.
-if you were a genius billionaire and you made a computer chip to put in another human beings neck, you’d probably want a shutdown facility
Sorry upgrade is my favorite movie and I’ve seen it about 30 times
Trace Alyea also it was a way to break his mind so he could take control it was a very well thought out plan
I think he was lying about Eron being able to totally shut him down. He just acted like he could so he would go to the hacker and get a reboot to be free of him completely

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY TIMELINE EXPLAINED
Black Emerald Yes! That would be amazing!!
Black Emerald, here's my abridged version of the Paranormal Activity movies:
So, some people get haunted by ghosts and shit, and someone films it because they're paranoid.
Please do this just got done watching all of them
Those movies suck lol
There I said it
I seriously doubt many people actually care about those movies..
Man that's one cute german shepherd
When a 10:27 minutes video about the ending of a movie actually use 30 seconds of that time to explain it.
Gotta love all that wrapping to say nothing but pass the 10 minutes mark.
He does this with literally every movie?
I read the news saying they were going to make a series and I'm psyched to see it
OMG that dog is AMAZING
Your dog is huge wtf.
Whoop-whoop, getting close to one-million subs, congrats!!! This was a great flick thanks for the overview, hope they do a sequel.
This is a really great movie that flew completely under the radar...I don't even remember it being in the theaters...Awesome explanation...helped clarify the ending and the wife reappearing...thank you! And yes FOR SURE a part 2...maybe more...so much to work with!
little random note: i love how the movie is able to sidetrack the 'zoom & enhance' trope, since in the ending we find out stem already knew the guys responsible, it is simply copying the tattoo from its databanks instead of from the barely visible video. its pretty ingenious
Never realised that, that's a great catch
Your a really good explainer and narrator.👌
Man, I heard there was a twist ending and I thought they were going for the “it was all a dream” ending and I was about to flip out. And then there was a twist on the twist and that ending only happened to Grey.
it's not even really a twist.
Especially since it lasts like 7 seconds and doesn't change the story massively.
@@KeithElliott-zd8cx What are you talking about, it absolutely changes the story massively.
@@alexman378 not really. The idea stem was behind everything, is a twist. It changes everything.
What you mentioned isn't anymore of a twist, than a protag versus antag fight where the antag almost wins, but the protag pulls some shit off and makes it.
It only 'feels' like a twist, if that's all you knew, dude had a flash of a happier life, which, CAN be a twist. Repo man has that, where the third act isn't real.
Here? Seven seconds. There wasn't enough time to really build anything to subvert, unless all the stem stuff turned out to be a coma dream.
It could've been a different ending, again sure. That's not what a twist is, tho.
This movie reminds me of Be More Chill.
Stem vs Squip
Towards the end, the CEO kid is surprised (and almost jealous) to learn that Stem talks to the main guy.
He even asks "Stem is that u?" when Stem's voice is heard over the speakers.
2 minutes later it is revealed that this same kid CEO was talking to Stem the whole time.
it seems like stem was running the company, maybe not actually talking to him on a regular business.

Be More Chill: extreme edition

This was the last movie I saw in the theaters with my mom.she died 3 days later from a stroke.This movie will always hold a special place in my heart
*Did you mean:* Be More Chill
0:20 WHY HAVEN’T WE SEEN MORE OF DOGGO?!
So no one gets a Tom hardy - Venom feeling from this?
Shmalex Bo’Balex
I'm pretty sure this movie came out before venom
So your comment May have to be reversed
Shmalex Bo’Balex venom came after upgrade? Wym???
If anything venom stole from upgrade
Everyone gets that vibe.
Well, just watched the movie. I did not get that feeling anytime in the movie. Also, Venom releases a few months after upgrade, ofcourse MCU is more famous. I didnt know this movie existed but a few days ago. It's different than from Venom. Can't really compare.
What if Stem decides it wants a girlfriend??? 🤔
Bride of Stem 😎
That would be better than Chucky sequal
Grey/STEM: "(Bride's name here), I chose you. You should be honored." Lol
I doubt human hands can open pickle jars
Maybe a jam jar. But pickles PICKLES....
I want a movie collection like that 😂
I'm surprised this ending even needs an explanation honestly, it's pretty well-explained in the movie.
It's for dumb people like me

Will you do any of the wrong turns
Yes please
Cyborg 69 there isn't anything to explain..
Title: explaining ending
Reality: explains whole movie
i mean, explaining the end doesn't make sense without explaining other shit.
I mean, 'evel microchip wants to be a real boy' is apt, but not much explanation...
Can you do hereditary?
U got your wish
akhil lingampally yep and I’m so happy 😁
The barcode wasn’t visible on the guy’s wrist. Stem already had that info and that’s why he was able to have Grey draw it so accurately despite the low res footage.
the building at 0:39 looks like Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc.
This movie was so freaking awesome...damn shame I didn’t get to see it in the theaters!
this movie reminde me of Parasyte lol
haha yea a lil bit. cept its a machine enhancing human combat abilities and not a bioweapon/alien thing.
*VENOM*
"...he quickly learns of the suit's physical potential." Did you forget what movie you were watching? Lol
cinematography of the fight scenes in this movie was ridiculously well done
I would upgrade my spine, it doesn't have to do anything extra it just has to stop hurting 😅
I thought at first that "Jamie's" goodbye to Grey by saying "I'm sorry, we can't let them win," meant that the "them" was the upgraded that was hunting Grey, for a few seconds, then I realized that knowing the great imagination that Leigh Whannell has, that statement had to mean more than that. Next I thought that "Jamie" meant that we can't let AI, intelligent machines, win and conquer humanity. However, since "Jamie" told him that it didn't have a name or gender, it makes me think that "Jamie" is another form of advanced upgraded being that STEM purposefully chose because it knew that "Jamie" would be willing to help it, and the "them" that "Jamie" mentioned is humanity, that humanity is destructive, savage, and un-evolved/obsolete, and can not only be used in the next step of AI's evolution from chip to functional being, for mobility, and the ability to perform actions, but also one day in the future AI will have robotic bodies thus finishing their evolution and no longer needing a biological component, or cybernetic existence. Leigh Whannell did an excellent job with Upgrade and that ending I did not see coming. Imagine being in a false reality in your own mind and a machine having control of your body, doing God knows what, while you have no knowledge of it. The stories of AI evolving and conquering, enslaving, or destroying humanity always makes for good Scifi. Beyond the cut to black at the end of Upgrade, I see a future where STEM eventually creates a race of cybernetic beings, similar to Skynet in the Terminator series, or more similar to the Borg in the Star Trek series. If we don't destroy ourselves first, I see AI being an eventuality/inevitability, and eventually being able to out think us, conquer us, and use us as a step in its evolution, just like in this movie.
The Deus Ex vibes are real.
alsenar2 thinking the same thing
I didn't ask for this
Was looking for this 👏👏
exactly mate. that's what I was thinking the whole time
Next move ”Stem vs Jarvis”
does jarvis have a body too?
Cause his is made of vibranium instead of shitty human flesh, and has an infinity stone.
And is worthy of the might of thor.
I... I don't think it'll be too much of a movie, tbh.
I wish for a sequel, you just can’t leave a so good film in this status.
this movie looks so good and i’ve never even heard of it!!! thank you!!!
"Comment what movie you'd like explained next"
Me: wouldn't you like to know weather boy

Honestly, spongebob did it better. Remember that one where plankton took him over, not too distant future guys. Spongebob knew it was coming
Remember how he insult Squidward? That was a funny moment for me
Upgrade was fantastic, I was not expecting it to blow me away in the way it did.
