how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 56 comments (50 from Metacritic, 6 from TMDB reviews) — 15 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 15 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“The ending was pretty predictable, but despite that it was still incredibly fun to get there.”
Nathan · TMDB reviews ↗
“Right from the start this film was different. It began engaging me in the main character's life in a futuristic world, and it made me care for him.”
TkA · TMDB reviews ↗
“By the end of the first act I was completely engaged, emphasizing with, and rooting for main character, and totally hating on the bad guys.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“The triumph of a film like Upgrade, an unapologetic B-movie, is that it aims low and exceeds expectations.”
Liam Lacey, Original-Cin · 83
“Upgrade is an intense sci-fi action thriller with big ideas, incredible action and a remarkable lead performance.”
William Bibbiani, IGN · 82
“What Whannell wants most to do is torment and eventually pulverize most of the people in his narrative orbit and make you laugh while he does so.”
Dave White, TheWrap · 80
“A great and grimy little screw-turner of sci-fi schlock, the kind that they truly don’t make anymore, the kind that would make Carpenter and Cameron proud.”
Emily Yoshida, New York Magazine (Vulture) · 80
“A retro science-fiction actioner with both brains and brawn – quite a lot of brawn, actually. Surely destined for cult status.”
Jamie Graham, Total Film · 80

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
