SURROGATES, a review

One of our favorite pastime, me and my hubby, is to watch hollywood movies..

Last sunday, we have watched the sci-fi flick, "surrogates" , directed by Jonathan Mostow. It was an adaptation of the novel, "The Surrogates" by Robert Venditti and Brett Weldele. Bruce Willis played the main role as a police detective, who then, was also using a surrogate, mainly to do his job for him..

Surrogates are robots that are remotely controlled by humans who largely remain closeted from real life. They are the more attractive versions of the individuals who operate them. The owner of a surrogate uses a modern remote controller, that commands their robotic surrogate through brain waves. They use it as their alter ego in doing everything they wanted without being harmed. It's as if they perfected a human-like robot.

what i like about this movie is that, they have put a lot of emphasis on the idea of human physical perfection and what dilemma we might get while using it. That, we want to look great all the time, to an unrealistic extent.

This movie is  very compelling and interesting, that you would'nt feel any boredom, not even a single second while watching it. The movie was spontaneously executed, and has an original theme. It can be realistic, in the future robotic technology. Of course, there's always a twist. So you better watch out for that.

The story has a great message to us, that we cannot be perfect. We were created as humans, so we must act like humans. Everything in this world are fancy. They will fade through time.

Watch it! It's 5 stars!
