They must've paid Bruce double to even consider doing this piece of crap movie!

Surrogates

This has got to be the worst sci-fi movie I've seen since Terminator: Salvation. I honestly cannot think of too many good reasons why you should see this movie. The starting premise itself was a bit hard to believe - 98% of the world's population uses surrogates, robots that look exactly like humans, aka terminators. Right off the bat, 98% of the world would NOT agree on using surrogates, especially considering the tons of homeless people that are dying in Africa and other countries. The plot involves Bruce Willis playing as his tired "rebel-cop" persona and stumbling upon some sort of conspiracy involving VSI (corporation that produces surrogates), the military, and the guy who created surrogates who doesn't know why his son got murdered and needs Bruce to point it out for him. The film's subplot involves reservations where surrogates are shot on sight. These reservations are filled with cliched fat hillbillies that are led by some guy who displays about as much passion in his acting as a low-level politician reading off a teleprompter. There are logical problems, as well, such as surrogates being strong enough to withstand car collisions yet breaking apart under the power of Bruce Willis' bare fists, as well as the robot "beauty" salons. I'll just stop right there because if I were to list all this film's problems, I'd probably have to post the film's entire screenplay here.

Long story short: the story is absurd, the action is OK at best, the dialogue is bland in most parts, laughably bad in others, and the ending is meaningless and predictable.

Grade: C-

Grade C-: I don't know what the Gamespot equivalent is but I didn't care for this piece of scheise when I saw the trailer in theaters.

Wow you thought the movie was that bad? I throughly enjoyed it to be honest.
