Did you know

During the fight scenes, the camera often tracks Grey so that he remains in the middle of frame. According to director Leigh Whannell, this was achieved by hiding a phone somewhere on actor Logan Marshall-Green, which the cameras could then pair to and follow with as much accuracy as possible.

(at around 29 mins) There is a scene where Grey is reviewing his dead wife's autopsy paperwork. When paused you could see his wife was born in 2008. At the time of her death she was 38. Which means this movie was set in the year 2046.

(at around 38 mins) In the first fight scene after Stem takes over Grey's body, you can see Grey use his hand to turn his head in order to dodge a punch. This is because Stem only controls Grey's body below the implant in his neck and therefore couldn't move Grey's head out of the way on its own.
