Surrogates

I seen it yes, I get in for free!

Well I might as well just look at a review for iRobot as these are just the same movie with a few tweaks, the shameless copy of even using the same actor as the 'godfather' of the robots was well...shameless. It was blatantly just trying to appeal way to much to fans of iRobot. That Hollywood idea of that if they liked that they will come to see this one.

The movie didn't start of to bad, was not a terribly intriguing plot line to say the least, but it was an 'OK' first twenty minutes, then it just went from OK to dull then tedious at points. It got a little confusing at times as well with people using different 'Surrogates' so was sat there thinking ok so who is this person now? It wasn't really explained all to well what was happening.
The plot-line failed to pick up any real momentum at any stage, it was just dull to say the least. I could just see where someone has read a 'how to write a screen play in 10 days' book. It was just all abit to neat and tidy, I knew exactly what was going to happen, it was obvious. It never really dared to try anything new, it was just a re-packed movie from the £1 movie bucket.

Well after saying all that theres not really much I can say about character depths or narrative without using the same words 'dull, tedious' have I used the word boring? Well to go a tad further they were paper thin, the narrative failed to give them any real depth what so ever, they were box characters again just recycled material.

This movie will be forgotten the day after people watch it, it doesn't say anything of any real importance. The theme was dull and well all a tad 'seen it all before'. Its nothing new and not even really worth thinking about in any real depth. This was Bruce just paying for his new house in the Swiss alps. You can see in his acting he just really didn't care about this movie and didn't really put any real raw emotion into it.

Boring Dull, Average. Seen it all before, This is money that could have been better spent. Its a movie from a skint Hollywood producing something from the pre-aprroved list of movie genre's.
