Surrogates (2009)
The beginning of Surrogates shows everyone young and beautiful, as if they’ve been airbrushed by the best filters in Hollywood. They have! After the first scene, we see what people really look like; the futuristic world is lived by “surrogate” bodies controlled by sedentary humans at home. So, since you can choose to look any way you want to but in reality can be a completely different body type, race, or gender, the movie tells the audience not to trust anyone. It’s very interesting, and exciting too!
In this lovely new future, there’s a universal decrease in violence and murder, since people don’t die or get hurt if their surrogate gets killed or hurt. However, someone does get killed, and police officer Bruce Willis has to save the day. And he has to save it without the safety of his surrogate! He teams up with beautiful surrogate Radha Mitchell, and they investigate everything and everyone, including Ving Rhames, a renowned spiritual guru, and the inventor of the surrogate lifestyle, James Cromwell. Of course it’s James Cromwell—he’s always the inventor in futuristic movies! Bruce also has a sadness in his past that affects his relationship with his wife, Rosamund Pike; because saving the human race isn’t enough of a struggle for him in a two-hour movie.
Rent this exciting adventure with your friends the next time you’re planning movie night. I own a copy and have seen it three or four times already. It’s very exciting and will keep you at the edge of your seat with the twists and turns. Since I’m very picky about my futuristic movies, my recommendation holds a lot of weight!
