Surrogates (2009)
Not a waste of money
Before seeing this movie I had read no reviews and only saw the last third of the trailer. Therefore I walked into the theater blind, with mild expectations. I was not disappointed. Surrogates is an entertaining action flick with an interesting plot & concept. (and I'm sure I'm not the first to say it's a little reminiscent of I, Robot.)
In this film humanity can live their lives from home thanks to incredibly advanced technology that makes it possible for one to control their own humanoid robotic puppet (surrogate) from a chair. In this world there is no disease, no pain, and crime rates have dropped drastically.
FBI agent Tom Greer (Bruce Willis) investigates the first murder in 15 years: a young man who was killed along with his surrogate. He then discovers the existence of a dangerous weapon and has to discontinue the use of his own surrogate to try to figure out what is going on, risking his life while being the only human roaming the streets.
The action in this movie was pretty good, the acting and dialogue were okay. All and all a good and entertaining science fiction film that made me feel glad to be human whilst walking out of the theater.
