6/1/18: Upgrade: Pulpy Sci-Fi at its Best

Screen Shot 2018-08-25 at 7.14.17 PM.png

This is the best sci-fi movie I’ve seen in a minute. It’s original in that it cuts out all of the pointless and confusing exposition. You’re just dropped in this world. It’s easy to acclimate as a viewer. The basic story and arc are kept super simple. That allows for the story, actors, sets, and even the sound design to add so much more. Who knew dripping water could be so grounding? This is not a hopeful film. It’s unnerving in the best ways. And it’s grounded in a legitimate not-so-distant future.
