upgrade

How does it feel, I keep asking myself? For the first time I felt the horror of artificial intelligence. There is always a tragic argument that artificial intelligence will replace human beings. I don’t know how. This movie gives a good example. In this world, artificial intelligence occupies the absolute initiative, and human beings can only be regarded as basic low-level creatures in this world. The scientist who made Zhinao eventually became a vassal of Zhinao and didn't even have control over the company. The chips, guns, and various sharp weapons implanted in human bodies have indeed upgraded people to a certain extent, making them stronger, but making them more inhumane and able to arbitrarily dominate the lives of others. When I saw the computer-controlled car collided with the police car, I realized that the situation was very similar to the scene when Gray and his wife were in a car accident. Did the brain already have a plan? Facts have proved that it is indeed the intellectual brain that controls everything, and guides the male protagonist step by step to clear all obstacles for himself. Through the shell of revenge, it seems that the goal is achieved step by step, but it is actually paving the way for artificial intelligence.

Upgrading human beings is at the cost of losing humanity, and at the same time constructing a world where the strong eat the weak, the human beings who upgrade first will inevitably take absolute repression of their strength on those who are not upgraded.

    The action scenes are handled somewhat interestingly, including some perspective choices. The ending reversal is also considered black necessary for small b movies.

    When I entered the movie theater, I didn't have high expectations for this film with a bland title that felt like a regular action movie, but I was amazed! ! ! It's violent, bloody and humorous, and the plot is great, even if it doesn't have the brain-burning twists and turns of Nolan's arrogance. A normal film will definitely go the way of pleasing the audience. This film has a lot of backbone.

Upgrade quotes

  • Stem: Grey's not here anymore, he's in a better place, in his mind, where he wants to be, I've taken over now. A fake world is a lot less painful than the real one. All I needed was for his mind to break, and he broke it.

  • Stem: May I point something out?

    Grey Trace: Hello? Okay, who's saying that?

    Stem: I am Stem. The system operating your body for you. Don't be afraid.

    Grey Trace: [Grey finally takes a breath, terrified] You fuckin' kidding me?

    Stem: [Deadpan] No.

    Grey Trace: I've lost my mind. I've gone insane. I'm fucking insane.

    Stem: Your medical records indicated you with a mild case of PTSD, but you are not "insane".

    Grey Trace: [Confused] So what? Y-you've just been there this whole time?

    Stem: Since the completion of the operation. I have been observing everything you've observed.

    Grey Trace: D-do you have to talk?

    Stem: If you want me to I do not have to

    Grey Trace: Okay, then yeah, don't talk.
