There's nothing here that you haven't seen ten years ago, and better, in "Matrix" or "Existenz". Add two measures of "Terminator" and one of "Minority Report", and you've got "Surrogates". The plot is all quick fix with no substance. In one scene, cutting off human operators from their surrogates makes them freeze in mid-motion. In another scene, the surrogates keep walking unimpaired even after the connection is severed. This may seem like a minor glitch, but it turns out that this is exactly what the movie is supposed to be all about. Tough luck. The fine cast gets next to no chance to explore the conflict between real life and surrogate life, and seems wasted on the script. The one interesting, if unintentional twist is the fact that human extras are playing robots playing humans.
