Consensus: Though it sports a slick look and feel, Surrogates fails to capitalize on a promising premise, relying instead on mindless action and a poor script.

Reviews for Surrogates
One of the year's more entertaining sci-fi films.
09/26/09
Top CriticSurrogates is entertaining and ingenious, but it settles too soon for formula.
09/27/09
Top CriticSurrogates nudges the robo-thriller in an interesting direction.
09/25/09
Top CriticHigh concept and high budget, Surrogates adds astounding techno magic to ideas mooted in films like Multiplicity, Total Recall and I Robot, but fails to achieve the humanity the film champions
09/23/09
Particularly silly...the sort of emptily bombastic popcorn movie that might make you wish you had a surrogate to go and sit through it in your place.
09/24/09
The premise for this sci-fi actioner makes sense for about four seconds, after which you begin to wonder why everyone on the planet would willingly become a shut-in, how the poor are supposed to shell out for these high-tech androids, etc.
09/27/09
Whatever the reason, Surrogates was shielded from the eyes of critics before its opening, and that's a shame. Because, whatever its flaws, it is a good movie.
09/27/09
Top CriticHarbinger of what should be coming.
09/25/09
This predictable flick executed in a numbingly pedestrian fashion, has slapped a nifty conceit onto its threadbare mystery-thriller plot, but has somehow managed to miss every opportunity to take advantage of it
10/20/09
If you keep your expectations low, there are some sci-fi pleasures of visual appeal to be had, but it's tough getting past director Jonathan Mostow's wet noodle brand of storytelling.
09/27/09
If the whole point of this surrogate society is to appear as a perfectly beautiful avatar, why would Bruce Willis choose that ludicrous blond wig that looks like he plucked it off a mannequin at Boscov's?
09/27/09
Top CriticBy mixing a detective story and futuristic robots the filmmakers were likely aiming for the next Blade Runner. They wound up with the next Battlefield Earth.
09/24/09
Bruce Willis sees robot surrogates instead of dead people in this fairly entertaining sci fi flick
09/26/09
Yetta nudder cautionary tale issuing dire warnings about the pitfalls of technology run amuck.
09/27/09
Half-baked and generic, Surrogates is entertaining enough for what it is, but a bland take on what could have been truly special.
09/24/09
The problem is simple: it's too short. The story introduces a series of gripping elements, then fails to fully capitalize on a single one of them. With a running time of just 88 minutes, how could it?
09/25/09
Has all the get-up-and-go of a dead battery.
10/14/09
It's cold, lifeless, and silly, and it takes itself far, far too seriously.
09/25/09
The picture trades in hoary Bruce Willis police procedural clichés and underdeveloped conceits.
