UPGRADE (2018) Ending Explained 

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.

I wouldn't say "becoming man", but controlling man and turning man against itself

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

@@momsaid it has to kill his mother too... I wonder if the machine will want to keep her just to feel "human".

Yeah no that's how machine wins because machines are the people who were king+queens in past lives little nemo on hbo.

Google Person i*

We are Stem nom

The chip is secretly venom

Who, who are you? WE are Stem

Lol

Film have strong fan base and they are good received from critics.I don't think that this movie is underrated.

Ivan Jurlina critics definitely liked it but it’s not a widely know film at all and could definitely do with more recognition

Of all time more like it

It was pretty generic and by the numbers

@@dogsbreakfast4952 weak bait

😂 😂 😂 🤣

Arm cannon

I think is greys brains which suffer massive trauma and formed this kind of dream state i don't think stem can dictate his brains only body

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.

@Breakdown God then it would be the matrix all over again. I guess.

@@almightybunny3320 i think when soemting plike that happens it's like a druged up purgetory

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

Sometimes the cold bitter truth is better than the warm cozy lies. I don't know why but it's better. Even I can't understand that.

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.

& stem gets partial custody of the children

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.

I've never understood the appeal of gore.

@@00GlueGunner that's disturbing in more ways in one.

@@00GlueGunner what's disturbing is that people find gore cool and/or okay.

@@00GlueGunner for horror movies its okay because people want to be scared, it's the idea of liking gore beyond them that disturbs me.

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

its S. T. E. M not STIM and r/sadcringe

@@bruhman530 That's pretty cringy itself.

@@patronbubbo i know

Should be ping +999

Miss Abaxelis your right lol

Miss Abaxelis that was me to

me too right now fuck

But you still enjoyed it you sickos!

I so wanna see a sequel to Upgrade. Maybe call it STEM!?

Yep it was win/win for sure

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.

same but i won't be sad for a second part don't think it will happen though

@@TheGodvszombies That's exactly what I thought!

Yeh it's not everyday you see a bad/happy ending......if that part made sense

Alfie Tank like more than one STEM system or AI out there

who was the hacker refering to? If it was the AI's why would he/she help with the hacking in the first place?

@@pce0550 i believe she was talking about the Robot hybrids. The A.i hadnt exposed itself fully yet so my guess is Only the minions where noticed.

@@tallish87 I think more like Robotic humans hybrids. We only find out how STEM actually works towards the end.

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!!

Except Stem didn't want to be human, it wanted to be something above both man and machine. The human body is just a vessel.

HimT yep me too.

but its never up the butt

THAT is what made this movie 🙌🏻

You need to pitch this to someone

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.

also, i liked this movie so much that i watched this as soon as it was finished just to do this exact thing.

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.

Well now we all know why you're not a millionaire hollywood exec...

I prefer artisan Tom Hardy.

Nostalgia Critic did a review of Venom and called this the true venom movie.

@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.

Its not Tom Hardy pipol!!

Venom was better

And only a $3 million budget

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.

@@scoliosys8311 Check out Quarry to dudes a great actor

That's dumb. We HAVE limits. And STEM can learn, meaning it's basically human. Besides the fact it's a murderer, I've no problem with it.

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.

We don't know our Human limits, and people are always improving and that limit you are speaking will be eventually broken for we are not machines.

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.

Jehu Roa yeah, that works

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

@@user-uv3li8tk4r really? What’s it called

@@ricardoricochet3021 idk if they’ve decided on a name yet but if you google upgrade tv series you should get some results

@@user-uv3li8tk4r wait where do you see that? I looked up IMDB and their worldwide gross is only $16M

@@lovell8983 It grossed it's budget 'approximately $15M', on just it's U.S. only, opening weekend.

that is a very nice dog

Nah

T H A T I S A V E R Y G U D P U P P E R!

Yes nice doggo chris!

Vedran Matkovic shut the up

Diarra Harris it's pretty much Ex machina with action and a happy? Ending

Hmm. Good connection! *Mr Smith was always smarter than Neo until Neo became Mr Smith...

This movie has lots of actions, while Ex-Machina is almost full of dialogues. But still.. Both movies are great.

I coincidentally saw both movies in the same week and noticed the similarities as well

I'm thinking if it's a sequel he will probably come back from his dream state and be one with stem

You didn't mention Predator 😮

Tovey Baker because I couldn’t tell

Niekoo some people are just that stupid

For you.

Lots of horror movies have everyone die in the end

Watch the mist then

Really? You need to see the movie Carrie.

@@naturistfred lol so everyone recommends to this guy some movies with spoiler that main character dies loool

@@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.

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.

No gift. He just put him there with his wife so he doesn't have to fight STEM anymore

au where michael and jeremy gets absolutely fucked over by the squip

GOTTA TAKE THE UPGRADE

I remember those displays in toys r us

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..

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?

RoboCop / Venom

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

-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

Never realised that, that's a great catch

eli30013 l loved "The Invitation" too. He's an excellent actor! (:

His name is Logan Marshall Green. He also was in another great sci fi called Prometheus!

It's for dumb people like me

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.
