Surrogates
Movies — By Nicholas on October 10, 2009 at 9:58 PM
Yes, possibly one of the most anticipated films in October, Surrogates is finally here. With Bruce Willis leading the cast, I personally was very much waiting to watch it! =D well okay lah maybe because it being a sci-fi flick contributes to it, but well thats not the whole point, films with Bruce Willis in it are bound to hit BIG.
No, I’m not an avid Bruce Willis fan. I’m just stating the obvious. and I love action stuffs. =D
Anyway, Surrogates hit the big screens on Thursday, the 8th of October. Considering myself lucky, I actually managed to catch it in a jam-packed theatre in 1Utama GSC on Saturday.
I gotta say, this whole robot thing gives a completely new feel. It’s not your usual robot killing flicks or robot turning on their human counterparts and what not. Surrogates gives a whole new concept to films of such. I mean, well as far as I have recalled, robot films weren’t exactly done this way before, heh.
Surrogates as the film had translated it in Malay, “Pengganti” is exactly what it is trying to portray. In modern world where technological advancement is the primary criteria that defines human intelligence, Surrogates was created with the initial intention of helping the disabled live a normal life, but well I guess along the way, as long as you got the money, everyone can purchase one.
With the idea of you can be who you want, what you want, how handsome you want yourself to be, how hot and sexy, how tall, how buff, or even being the opposite gender, or even remaining young forever, everything is made possible with the creation of Surrogates. So I guess, being humans, most of the times we are complacent with our way of life, what more with these creations, life can be a breeze!
Okay if you guys are blurred, allow me to put in simple terms. Imagine operating yourself from home. Just stay “plugged-in”, and your Surrogate will be out there living your life, of course with full control from you, whose comfortably situated at home.
Sounds cool eh? But what if it became an addiction? =)
This is the story of Surrogates, of course with some murder plot in the middle, but you get the drift. Sounds interesting? It is! I’m giving it a two thumbs up! =D
Here’s the trailer for it, for those of you who haven’t catch the movie yet!
