Surrogates

New Release Tuesdays Presents:


Surrogates
Entertaining sci-fi with a not so good ending.
That sums up this flick.
It grabbed my attention throughout the first half,
even though there were some things that were predictable.
Favorite line is when Greer says,
"I don't know what you are. For all I know, you could be
some big fat dude sitting in his chair with his dick hanging out."
The action is decent.
The second half was also enjoyable except for that ending.
There's a major plot-hole during the ending.
If you haven't seen it, there's a big spoiler coming up,
so just don't read the following sentence.
What bothered me with the ending was,
Canter was all about human rights and stuff, why did
he want to kill everyone and their surrogates
instead of the surrogates only (which Greer did at the end)?
That's about it.

It was an okay sci-fi flick.
Kinda felt like District 9.
But District 9 still blows this one out of the water.
