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….
