Surrogates Reviews and Ratings



  • November 23, 2009
    After hearing some positive feedback from close people and not reading any critic reviews before watching, i started the film with optimism. It got going, and for a while i wasn't actually sure what was going on, but i like how it was explained bit by bit. Once i got an underst...( read more)anding of how people live their lives and what a surrogate was, i started to appreciate the story. I thought it was a pretty good plot and a nice change to the usual robot films. Dont get me wrong, its not original as many parts of the plot h ave been done before, its like a few films mashed together.

    The effects are pretty decent and so i thought, was the acting. I didnt feel myself get too into the film but still, i enjoyed it.

    Just dont expect too much from this film, like i did.

    Really good movie, Bruce does another outstanding job.
  • November 22, 2009
    Starts off ok, with the history of surrogacy, but never gets involving, then Willis utters his only good line, and a chase happens, then it gets boring again!
  • November 22, 2009
    WOWIES! Definatly loved this, i mean Bruce willies has done it again. Great approched to the entire sci-fi genre and love the plot twist, the only reason why this movie isn't getting a full five is because i was still able to predict how it was to end.

    Surrogates is simply a bad movie that is Hollywood's safest formula. Borrowing elements from all kinds of sci-fi movies and TV series - throwing a pursuit, a car chase, a last-minute rescue, and Bruce Willis in the lead into the mix...here is the new Hollywood overly medio...( read more)cre, money-consuming creation!
    I'd like to say that I was paying attention to what was going on, but Willis' make-up and wig were too distracting. The vision (if there was such a thing) is lost soon, the performances are robotic (no pun intended), the soundtrack reduces instead of adding, and you end up being viewer to the same movie. My appreciation levels for Willis reduced a long time ago, and this movies doesn't help change that.
    If you enjoyed in I, Robot or The Island or Minority Report or Watchmen - see it. It's a unfortunate mixture of those and many more.

    it's pretty good, interesting story and good looking people are everywhere...
    overall, it's worth watching.
  • November 21, 2009
    Fascinating movie! Highly good story plot that follows a world where common people are dependent upon robotic surrogates. An uprising causes tensions between humans and the surrogate communities, FBI Agent Tom Greer must now solve the mystery of murders involving humans and their...( read more) surrogates. Radha Mitchell, Bruce Willis, and Rosamund Pike stars. Worthy!

    diz film show d ideal world... but 'ideal' doesn't mean it's perfect either. real-good moral story on emotions.... :)
  • November 20, 2009
    not really good. It looks a lot like Gamer.
  • November 20, 2009
    Too many car crashes.
  • November 20, 2009
    I like the plot of the story...there's a moral to the movie. The movie makes you think what it is to be human. Would you trade it for a machines?...

    A short, sort-of stupid sci-fi thriller that's a fraction better than the Shia/Smith stupidity of I, Robot.
    What makes this movie watchable is the ending which was kind of surprising and awesome. Willis makes the best of an otherwise passable flick that tries to be really smart ...( read more)with twists.
    I appreciated the brevity of it, but wouldn't have minded if it were a little longer.
  • November 17, 2009
    I think this may be a rip off of GAMER or the other way around but this ones not as trippy as game.
  • November 17, 2009
    Can't go wrong with Bruce WIllis... It is a good sci fi action movie, but has a few weak points... Kind of like a mixture of the Matrix, Terminator, and a comic book movie all wrapped up in one
  • November 16, 2009
    bruce willis is always good actor..a good movie
  • November 15, 2009
    Very perturbing message; nice idea... read between the lines.
  • November 15, 2009
    A nice film to watch with the family in the theater on a Sunday afternoon.
    Some flaws but acceptable.
    By the way, Bruce Willis has a power. He's capable of putting family members of different ages and cinematographic tastes agreeing with what to watch.
  • November 14, 2009
    Standard, mindless action movie that one would expect from Jonathan Mostow. Could've been better if Bruce Willis didn't sleepwalk through his role.
  • November 13, 2009
    I enjoyed this movie very much. I hope you don't miss the message.

    A very original and fresh idea for a film done in a very standard and bland style.
    The concept of a world where people never left their homes and used mechanical substitutes to live out their lives with no risk of harm is very interesting and a more capable director could have c...( read more)reated a far more compelling and memorable film with this. But here we see many recycled and obvious ideas making the film seem like its catering to the lowest IQs in the audience.
    Please remake this a few years from now with the director of District 9 behind it.

    I love Bruce..this look good
  • November 12, 2009
    One of the BEST movies of ALL Time! A must see for anyone loving a real mystery. Especially if you liked Vanilla Sky, The Matrix, Aeon Flux and ESPECIALLY if you didn't! Enjoy!

    i'm going to see tomorrow!

    Didn't really like it....
  • November 10, 2009
    Sure, the movie has a catchy slogan: ?Anything you dream, you can achieve?? And it stars mega-star Bruce Willis. Unfortunately, not even a cool catchphrase nor Mr. Willis? starpower could save this movie. Whatever these filmmakers were dreaming of, they did not achieve anythin...( read more)g on the big screen.

    The premise of Surrogates (Mostow, 2009) is fairly simple. Set in the near future, people are living their lives through robotic surrogates in a society free of pain and crime. But when someone commits the first murder in years, FBI agent Tom Greer (Willis) is forced to abandon his surrogate and venture out himself in order to uncover an elaborate conspiracy. Sound fairly promising? I thought so. But it is never a good sign when critics aren?t allowed to screen films prior to their release. This usually means that the film is less than stellar and they know the reviews won?t be motivating people to head to the movies. Too bad there is no way to prevent bad press once the movie is released. I don?t think there will be any way to save this movie from being a giant box office flop.

    The movie is being marketed as an action-adventure, sci-fi/fantasy thriller based on a little-known five-issue comic book written by Robert Venditti. How a movie can be so many different genres is a mystery to me, but no matter what you want to call it, it wasn?t good. Film critic Robert Abele of the LA Times sums it up well in his recent review of the film: ?Director Jonathan Mostow is a little too enamored with all the shiny, colorful surfaces and propulsive action to ever develop a truly creepy speculative-future vibe from the programmatic screenplay.? Sure the film has a few car chases, a sprinkling of explosions, and some action scenes but that?s about it.

    The verdict? Don?t waste your money on this flick

    I love such futuristic action movies, so I enjoyed this one a lot!!!:)
  • November 9, 2009
    great idea potential for a film exploring human conditions much more profoundly, but the Surrogates is simply inadequate in the logic and plot of its story.
  • November 9, 2009
    What could have been a compelling sci-fi flick was unfortunately turned into a formulaic action movie.
  • November 9, 2009
    Watched it until the end, but only just. Such an exciting idea, people choosing to live most of their life in virtual reality, but the actual movie was predictable and not very exciting.
  • November 8, 2009
    A great B movie.
    Great for those who love sci-fi.
    Reminded me of I,Robot a little bit.
  • November 8, 2009
    Nice movie. If really get surrogates I will try it.
  • November 7, 2009
    The first half hour was really good. Kept my interest. But right after that, the movie switched to autopilot, so did my brain. Sadly, it's not on the same level as "Gattaca"; it's not as intelligent. Even "Gamer" had something better to say, and it was just a badass, insane, brai...( read more)nless, action flick.

    serba nanggung...mo action kurang, mo [sok]drama juga ga mungkin..
    nunggu die hard 5 aja lah. sorry y om bruce.
  • November 6, 2009
    An enjoyable sci-fi thriller with a cool effective performance by Bruce Willis, excellent production design and visual effects with some good action scenes. an entertaining and satisfying film.
  • November 6, 2009
    Zabrinjavajuce zanimljiv...doduse nama ne trebaju surogati, polako se sami pretvaramo u njih.
  • November 6, 2009
    It's now playing in cinema. I think i'm going to see it. Cuz i love Bruce Willis!
  • November 5, 2009
    NOT LIKE WHAT I EXPECTED FROM BRCE WLLS
  • November 5, 2009
    Not as good as expected, but good none the less. Kind of iRobot meets Minority Report

    Nice concept which needed more develpment, The plot was generic and incongruous.
  • November 4, 2009
    Nada que decir, sólo que es malísima!
  • November 4, 2009
    anothe poor movie with nothing special new thing iexpects more !!!
  • November 4, 2009
    Was a really good sci-fi movie which had a great story that kept you interested from start to finish. Bruce willis kicks ass as usual, some pretty cool action but its the well written original story thats makes this movie worth watching.
