Surrogates. The latest Bruce Willis movie. If I remember correctly the last movie I watch that he acted in was Die Hard 4.0. Die Hard was a super awesome movie. I enjoyed it thoroughly. But Surrogates… it was alright. I’ve seen worse. Rotten Tomatoes rating was 48% on Malaysia’s open day and today it’s down to 40%. I guess it would hover around 35% to 40%.
I’m not much of a robot-look-like-human movie fan. Terminator was alright. Surrogates didn’t really have a plot and it reminded me too much of the movie I, Robot.
I, Robot was slightly better than Surrogates. In I, Robot humans buy these slave like robots from a super huge corporation to do our deeds. In Surrogates humans buy robots that they can control to do their deeds.
Basically you hook up that fancy Star Trek thingy to your head like Mr. Bruce Willis up there and you just have to think what you want to do and the surrogate does it.
That’s Bruce’s surrogate by the way. Blonde hair and cleaner looking too. I noticed in the movie he was quite expressionless because he wants to have sex with his wife but his wife wants him to fuck her surrogate instead.
His wife is played by the lovely Rosamund Pike. She is just so hot. That’s a surrogate by the way. The Rosamund Pike controlling that surrogate is fucking ugly so I don’t think I’ll post a picture of that. The black guy is Boris Kodjoe. He’s black but some how he has a Russian name… Anyway Boris plays Bruce’s Police captain.
Rosamund works as a plastic surgeon in the movie. And I literally mean a plastic surgeon. A surrogate could get whatever they want done, face lift, bigger nose, etc etc.
The chick is Bruce’s partner, Radha Mitchell. Another hotty. Not as hot as Rosamund Pike though. In the picture above they are investigating a murder. Some evil dude has this plasma like gun that looks like a barcode scanner that fries up a surrogates microchip and kills the controller as well.
So the movie is about Bruce trying to solve the mystery as to who the murderer is. The plot is a little bit too simple. I felt the story writer put too much effort trying to make the movie different than I, Robot. So much so Surrogates became a sloppy “catch the killer” movie. The story line moved too fast and not much of a plot.
The movie ended up like that lady on the right. She ran out of battery half way so she’s docking at one of the many “Quickvolt” docking booths along the street to recharge. The difference with the movie was it failed to recharge my excitement.
I just thought I’d include that guys picture in here. He doesn’t use a surrogate. They call non surrogate users Meat Bags. But looks more like a Meat Ball to me. Anyway he can’t use a surrogate cause they didn’t have surrogates for his size. It would cost too much to make a surrogate that big.
If you don’t want to know what happen in the end then your read stops here. Continue if you want to know what happens in the end. But you can already guess what happens in most sloppy catch-the-killer movies.
After watching that movie it got me thinking. What if we have this technology in the future? It would be totally screwed up. I think I would prefer to be in the flesh when I do stuff especially while fucking? Anyway if everybody got one I want one too. And I know perfectly how I want my surrogate to be. I want mine to look like that:
