Bot_feeder I would think it's not easy to come up with original ideas in a movie about robots and their relationships with humans, but there is a lot of originality in the story here.To me the story treads a really sound middle ground between being too simplistic or convoluted. There are intriguing plot twists, but the plot is not so complex as to require several viewings to piece it together.I also appreciate the efficient way in which the story unfolds- for example, the movie does not waste time on things like excessively long chase or battle scenes.I also appreciate that the movie deviated from the common "saved at the last second" ending.Way better than the 6.3 overall rating it had as of the time of this review.

torstensonjohn A common theme for Bruce Willis films is he gets knocked around and ends up beat to hell. No different for this SyFy thriller. The screenplay is very direct and creatively written for the atypical plot. The world is filled with autonomous beings, A.I surrogate bots for each individual. As with any technological advance it seems it is controlling and threatening survival of the human counterparts. A very good casting with Bruce at the helm, Ving Rhames, Rada Mitchell, James Cromwell. Solid directiong, fast moving, and decent amount of action. I give the film a solid 6

Ana Silva (Anaslair) Surrogates is a thought-provoking, generally well made sci-fi movie. There was a little too much action for my taste and I didn't get how people who were connected to their surrogates almost 24/7 still had functioning bodies at all, or how they performed basic functions, but the main concept was intriguing.In a world where you look however you want and never get hurt, who would ever use their real body? What is the point? In doing so, are you losing a large portion of what makes you human? The movie asks these questions and others.It started really well for me, as it presented an evolution to the current state of the world. It was progressive, we didn't just get 'bam, this is how things are, doesn't matter how it got here'.The development of the story was OK, it felt the pacing was off a bit at times. I thought the concept and its consequences was so powerful that it could have been better executed – all the action and superhero stuff only got in the way. Still, I appreciated the main characters, their struggles and their development. I particularly enjoyed the anxiety experienced by the main character when going out to the world for the first time in years. All the cool effects were a welcome bonus. That flawless skin… Wowza. How the heck did they do that??Besides the amazing imagery and all the action, Surrogates had suspense, mystery and interesting plot twists, so I recommend it.

noseymonique I'm all for a good sci-fi movie. Just seeing someone else's idea of what the future will be is exciting. This is one of those movies that caught my attention. Bruce Willis was excellent. The whole idea of having surrogates replace us was brilliant. I mean, who wouldn't want to just lay at home while someone else does everything for you? Or you could just hire a maid. In true Bruce Willis form, he delivers an action packed performance full of intrigue and mystery. If this is what we have to look forward to in the future, sign me up. The movie lacks very little, other than this kind of movie has been done a million times. We all want to be someone else, and this movie made you wonder how good or bad this would turn out.
