Surprisingly, I liked it quite much! As with Lucky Number Slevin, the 6th Sense or the original Die Hard movies I had no high expectations but Bruce surprised me (-: I cannot say why I liked it exactly and I do get that others, on average, would rate it at only 6.7, but I still like it.

I thought I was in for an no-brainer action flick. And while that is true for certain aspects of the film, [spoiler] I really liked the underlining idea of robots, aka Surrogates, linked electronically to its host, allowing them not only to explore their surroundings but literally to live their lives. I think the scenario of Surrogates replacing real people in most of the daily activities is not all that absurd and could be a likely scenario in a technically more advance society (although a world technologically that advanced would look like depicted in the movie). [/spoiler]I do agree that the characters would benefit from more depth but I found it not very annoying that they havn’t.

So all in all I would recommend to give Surrogates a try even though the reviews are not that good and see if you like it! As was the case for me, you may like Surrogates much better than say I, Robot!
