Never want a surrogate. Creepy.
Found it to be a bit dry and dull and boring and predictable. The book that it is based on was way better than the movie. I guess I expected a little more out of this movie.
Kind of boring, actually, but, for once I have to admit that I did enjoy the ending (and I wasn't expecting that "priest" plot twist).
Like Gerard Butler's Gamer, Surrogates deal with the rapid advancement of technology, where robotic avatars providing that intermediate buffer between the actual person, and the world they inhabit. With proponents of the Surrogate system worried that a recent...( read more)
A minor sci/fi. Entertaining, playing with interesting themes but never fully developing its promise.
Good story but I am tired of Bruce Willis doing the same type of characters gets boring!
This was a very odd movie to put it lightly. The whole premise of living your life through a surrogate is pretty freaky. The idea that someone could die if their surrogate dies sounds pretty repetitive from past movies to me. The movie seems to lack a real climax and really di...( read more)
Decent Sci-fi thriller. Surrogates, although very watchable, is very low on thrills and tension. Willis is good however, and there were some impressive special effects during the very few action scenes.
can't imagine a world where people can be controlled just like puppets.. but I guess humans is being controlled by emotions and media= wake up everyone !!
I would like that surrogates exist in real life, loved the concept. The story is a little complicated but, very good.
A nice interesting thriller set in the near future in which humans use surrogate robots to work, rest and play while their human operators stay connected online in their own homes. The storyline revolves around a human cop who discovers a massive conspiracy surrounding the surrog...( read more)
Not perfect but okay. Matrix can be attributed to a close match for this movie. By the way I need one for me to work from home.
I don't understand the low reviews for this film as it was very decent with a likeable main character and not to mention a good ending. The whole film showed how a person can create something that he thinks would be useful and how difficult it is to get rid of it. As a Scifi-Thri...( read more)
Je ne comprends pas du tout pourquoi ce film a fait un flop total, tant au niveau du box office que des critiques... Je l'ai trouvé plutôt bon, et surtout bien fait (notamment le "surrogate" de Bruce Willis). Je n'ai qu'un (gros) reproche: la ressemblance manifeste avec Minority ...( read more)
Surrogates was a science fiction detective action thriller.Humans got to stay indoors and live without danger through these perfect-looking surrogates who were the ones to face the outside world.The story started when a surrogate got destroyed, the owner of the surrogate, which w...( read more)
Good film. It could have been extended into a longer film with even more action without it getting boring.
This movie seemed sort of promising, but provided me with one hell of a letdown. I can't really say too much about this film, other than Bruce Willis playing another bad ass character. Only recommended for self-indulgent Bruce Willis fans.
Kinda trippy. Could've been better, but it was okay. Radha Mitchell is always nice to see.
Almost a good idea, if a tad implausible - but it's very poorly executed, and the performances tend to reflect it. Also, the end seems to flash up out of nowhere, which left me rather unsatisfied to say the least. There's lots of good sci-fi flicks around at the moment, but this ...( read more)
Surrogates is a pretty stupid movie. It presents some nice ideas for a sci-fi film but fails to go in depth into reasonings behind the use of the surrogates and why events in the film are taking place. Its convoluted and shaky and definately not the Bruce Willis Action film fans ...( read more)
This movie shares a theme with gamer what could go wrong and what can happen a coupleyears from nopw and it's not so crazy right!! and yes it was weird and cool at the same time it's a great thriller and a great casted movie !!
In the near future, humans live in isolation and ...( read more)
all i could say is....if this will happen in the near future...i want to have a Leonardo DiCaprio surrogate one...he..he..he..just dreaming.
wow!!makes me realize how much the human soul is important !!! men why would people wish to live like robots/surrogates.??? good job Brad Pit.
Worst Title. What is it about pregnant women? Interesting premise but completely unbelievable in anyway. Our society at large would never go in the direction of this technology. Bad pacing, dumb "murder mystery" that is obvious all the way through and sadly, the most embarresing ...( read more)
I was semi-interested in this due to the Mostow/Willis combo. It was semi-alright. Pretty predictable. Although, Radha Mitchell does give me a, well, a semi.
Not the best futuristic depiction of humanity, but it did contain some elements of surprise... Otherwise it was moderately predictable and lacked any emotional attachment to charactors... they were surrogates? Not terribly climactic and some what of a "Minority Report/I Robot" hy...( read more)
