Apparently Surrogates isn’t just a smash-em-up sci-fi movie where Bruce Willis gets to play John McClane in the future. It actually has themes and, get this, commentary from the future about the present. The movie is about a future where humans interact using surrogate robots while staying in the comfort of their homes. It’s a very action-oriented popcorn flick and, to be honest, it doesn’t look that great. It may have some good looking effects, but the action looks bad, or at least the scenes I’ve seen that they’re hiding in the trailer were bad. This may just be a well edited trailer, but in the end I still don’t think it will be good. Give it a shot and let us know what you think anyway.
Surrogates is directed by action filmmaker Jonathan Mostow, of Breakdown, U-571, and Terminator 3 previously. The script was written by writing duo Michael Ferris and John D. Brancato, of The Net, The Game, Terminator 3, and Catwoman previously. The film is based on Robert Venditti’s graphic novel of the same name. Disney will be bringing Surrogates to theaters everywhere on September 25th this year.
