Surrogates

“the conclusion declares that "surrogates" are bad, and therefore the only really interesting part of the film should not exist”

“they even tried to lampshade the ending with the whole **** "and the surrogate services will be shut down for who knows how long" line. Come on, give me a break. Most people will just treat it like another "oops I seem to have crashed my surrogate in a ditch, better get a new one!" incident. Nothing changes, movie POINTLESS.”

“Great and interesting subject. With the first a.i. bots now coming to "life" these surrogates are just a little 0,001% closer than they were only a few years ago. Acting of Burce Willis is class. The storyline is a bit too much to handle in terms of movie-duration, but definately a good movie.”

“Surrogates (2009) takes an interesting concept, people living through robotic avatars, and turns it into a straightforward action thriller. The plot is easy to follow, with a few twists along the way, but it never really digs deep into the bigger questions it could have explored. The movie has a polished look, and the visual effects for the surrogates are decent for the time, making them feel just artificial enough. The directing keeps the pacing tight, but the script doesn't do much beyond movi”

“Surrogacy is a perversion. It's an addiction. And you have to kill the addict to kill the addiction. I first viewed Surrogates upon its home format release and positively found it very ordinary. Viewing it again, with focus and in solitude, it proved to be a far better experience. The action scenes are what you would expect for a multi-plex appeasing popcorner, loud, colourful and owing great debt to modern technology. Yet to dismiss this totally as one of those easy money making blockbus”
