How can 98% of the world's population afford surrogates?

Very intriguing, while it's less than perfect the good far outweighs the not-so-good

Surrogacy is a perversion. It's an addiction. And you have to kill the addict to kill the addiction.

I changed the course of human history when I created surrogates. Now I'm going to change it back.

You don't change what's been done. You and I know that better than most people.

My son's death will not have been in vain. Not if it heals mankind.

Heals mankind? That's what you want to do? You want to kill everyone? That's going to heal mankind?

They're already dead. The died the minute they plugged into those machines.

I had a vision. I was going to empower the powerless. To enable others like me to walk, to feel, to have a normal life.

Listen to me! They're going to call you a murderer. That's what you're doing.

You're too late. What I've done can't be stopped. Now you're going to be a witness to the rebirth of humanity. That's my gift to you.

Surrogates

Basically entertaining

It&apos;s a great concept. In the future, the Sims style online gaming, where people live vicariously through characters, has evolved to living out real-life, in the real world, via surrogate robots. Everybody stays home all the time, 24/7. They work, play and travel via their surrogates, from the comfort of their home.

I&apos;m not spoiling anything here -- this all happens in the first 5 minutes. The result of this new era of existence is the dramatic drop in violent crimes, sexually transmitted diseases, death by accident, etc.

Well, it&apos;s a great concept. And the CGI is good. Because of the plot, every character is insanely pretty, so the screen is filled with beautiful people.

But... it just... doesn&apos;t... quite... gel. The whole thing feels like a cool episode of Star Trek, or something on TV. The story is not riveting. I didn&apos;t really care about the characters. The timing was off; things either came too late (I was bored, expecting them) or so fast I couldn&apos;t really appreciate.

Surrogates lacks that wow-factor.

Example of bad timing: At the start, one wonders, &quot;What do the users really look like? Anything like like their surrogate robots?&quot; I would expect that, at first, we see Bruce Willis, just some facial hair which his robot doesn&apos;t have. Then, eventually, we see that he is older than his robot, so he&apos;s &quot;cheating&quot; on age too. Even later still, maybe we&apos;d see an obese person at home posing as an athlete via a surrogate which looks nothing like him. Well, &quot;Surrogates&quot; skips all that build up and goes straight for the punchline: within 10 minutes we see a hot chick robot making with a young man; turns out the hot chick is actually slovenly a middle-aged man. Any twists to come later, in this variety, loses all punch.

Worth a rental.

People are living their lives remotely from the safety of their own homes via robotic surrogates -- sexy, physically perfect mechanical representations of themselves. It&apos;s an ideal world where crime, pain, fear and consequences don&apos;t exist. When the first murder in years jolts this utopia, FBI agent Greer (Willis) discovers a vast conspiracy behind the surrogate phenomenon and must abandon his own surrogate, risking his life to unravel the mystery.
