My Movie Review - Surrogates (may contain spoilers)

 
(poster from http://wwjcvddo.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/surrogates.jpg)

Just watched it today... the DVD copies are out so we just rented a VCD copy ( i know.. lame, right?). The movie was action packed all right but not as action as Die Hard; kinda like a sci-fi action mix with a detective thriller theme. When I was beginning to get into the story, I hear someone snoring... oh it's my sister. Well, sci-fi action movie aren't her type. But come to think of it, it was kinda "plain" or kinda mediocre.. basically it was OK... but I think the ending should have more boom..



Some things I've noticed..
1. The story is somewhat similar to "I Robot" (starring: Will Smith). In both films, James Cromwell (you might recognize him as the farmer dude in "Babe") is a scientist/inventor who wants to destroy what he built..

2. The movie kinda has the concept of the "Avatar" - having controlled bodies: in this film the controlled body is the "surrogate. In Avatar, it's the avatar..

3. The movie make-up is so cool!; they made Bruce Willis unbelievably younger..

I'll give it...
7/10
Not bad... worth watching
