Movie: Surrogates (2009)

“People are living their lives remotely from the safety of their own homes via robotic surrogates — sexy, physically perfect mechanical representations of themselves. It’s an ideal world where crime, pain, fear and consequences don’t exist. When the first murder in years jolts this utopia, FBI agent Greer (Willis) discovers a vast conspiracy behind the surrogate phenomenon and must abandon his own surrogate, risking his life to unravel the mystery. Written by Touchstone Pictures”

  • Director: Jonathan Mostow
  • Release Date: 25 September 2009 (USA)
  • Run Time: 104 min
  • Country: USA
  • Genre: Action , Sci-Fi , Thriller
  • MPAA: Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence, disturbing images, language, sexuality and a drug-related scene.

Tagline: How do you save humanity when the only thing that’s real is you?

Trivia: During the opening montage showing the development of the surrogates, there is a shot of an Asian man with an android twin. This is actually footage of Dr. Hiroshi Ishiguro of Osaka University and his creation – Geminoid, a prototype android double of himself.

Goofs: Plot holes: If the United States government (via the FBI) is capable of accessing and controlling all surrogates in the world why wouldn’t it simply shut down all enemy soldier surrogates when at war (such as during the peace-keeping mission scene)?
