I couldn’t help but post this vid as I thought it was truely awesome….Thanks to Andrew for bringing it to my attention! If this film was ever released, I’d be first in the queue to see it….check out the vid below & if you like it there’s more at www.howitshouldhaveended.com!! Enjoy
If I hadn’t have been more on the ball at last weeks cinema outing, I could have been mistaken & thought we were seeing the previous weeks film all over again!! Luckily for me, we weren’t about to sit through Gamer for the 2nd time, instead we were watching the latest Bruce Willis movie: Surrogates.
The movie is basically set in the future, where people can buy & live their lives through surrogate robots, whilst they sit at home in the comfort of their own house. (Familar?) Controlling their alter self out in the real world….Sounds great eh?? Well it does have some advantages, like trading yourself or the missus in for a younger model. More importantly, with no real people on the streets, the crime rate has fallen dramatically & everyone can live in safety!!
Obviously, this ideal lifestyle coudn’t last & eventually things start to go pear shaped. Luckily the human Bruce Willis, who plays a FBI Agent gets to the root of the problem, which looks to be started by a human rights group known as the Dreeds…however, not all is as it seems!!
Overall, the film is pretty decent & the robot surrogates look very convincing – as in they are robotic looking, with perfect skin tones & complexion!! Basically, they look so perfect – they have to be fake!! You know, just like fake tits!!
My score out of 10 would be an average 6….
Yet again I’ve become pretty slack with the film reviews, but to be honest this one was quite forgettable….Infact, I’m almost tempted not to even bother reviewing it, but that would be a big mis-justice on the film world!! For every good film, there are the bad & all must be reviewed!!
Anyway, Gamer should have been soooo much better than it was, a pretty decent cast & interesting concept…basically it seems that us humans in the future get way too addicted to online gaming & social networking!! So much so, some people pay to play their character in a real life ‘Sims’ online community called ‘Society.’ Infact, the characters are actually played by real people who get paid for the pleasure of doing what some fat bloke in a chair halfway across the world tells them to do….
On top of that, the latest craze to hit the online community is ‘Slayers,’ where much like the film ‘DeathRace,’ the countries top criminals fight in an online battle (think Call of Duty etc) in a chance to win their freedom!! Of course, nothing is that easy….the crazy wacko behind this online world is just as twisted as the whole concept that he invented!! Basically, injecting some special nano cell technology into their brains, in order to hook them up to the tinternet!!
Sounds crap eh?….yep it was, but I still think the whole idea was pretty good. Especially, how realistic the online community ‘Society’ was & how much like Playstation Home it was….I can just imagine all the fat blokes in chairs parading around as short skirted bimbos!!
Anyway, my score out of ten is exactly the same as Chris’ score after his review….. 3/10.
