Surrogate

SYNOPSIS:
The filmmaking trio behind the hit sci-fi sequel Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines re-team to explore a future in which humans live in isolation while only communicating with their fellow man through robots that serve as social surrogates and are better-looking versions of their human counterparts. Bruce Willis stars as an FBI agent who enlists the aid of his own surrogate to investigate the murder of the genius college student who invented the surrogates. As the case grows more complicated, however, the withdrawn detective discovers that in order to actually catch the killer he will have to venture outside the safety of his own home for the first time in many years, and enlists the aid of another agent (Radha Mitchell) in tracking his target down. Jonathan Mostow directs co-screenwriters Michael Ferris and John Brancato's adaptation of the graphic novel by author Robert Venditti and illustrator Brett Weldele. [D-Man2010]

In the near future, humans live in isolation and only interact through robotic bodies that serve as surrogates. When several humans are murdered when their surrogates are destroyed, a cop (Bruce Willis) investigates the crimes through his own surrogate. After a near fatal encounter, the cop's surrogate is destroyed and forces him to bring his human form out of isolation and unravel a conspiracy behind the crimes. [D-Man2010]

I find the movie is just okay. It is about human runs their daily lives in the form of surrogate walking down the street. A humanoid robot runs the city but being operated by a meat bag (the term they use for a typical human). The story line is typical. They create, then they regret, then they destroy. Nothing new. Nothing fresh. Just same lame old story. The ending, was sort of abrupt. After all the surrogates were being deactivated, the movie ended. My rating: 2.5/5

I-Robot is much better, I would say (although the plot is somewhat similar, I-Robot comes out first.)Just for your information, the old man who acts as the inventor of Surrogate is the same person who acts in I-Robot. Yes, in both movies, the old man died.

New movie comes to cinema this December: AVATAR, by James Cameron!

Went to Ipoh with Fazlee, Graham, Jonathan, Sze Mei, Lian Hung, Wee Kheng, Yi Herng, and Liew. They were surprised that I didn't buy Starbucks drink when we dropped by there.

"You are seriously not buying???!!!" -.-"

Playing bowling, buying "Japanese slipper" and having RM17.50 meal at Secret Recipe, we called it a day. Was so tired when I was back to campus, sleep from 8.00pm until 10.00pm, a night nap. lol

Listening to this song lately.

Already Gone by Kelly Clarkson

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories, they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye
Even with our fists held high
It never would have worked out right, yeah
We were never meant for do or die...

I didn't want us to burn out
I didn't come here to hurt you now I can't stop...

I want you to know
It doesn't matter where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone

Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that you'll find another
That doesn't always make you wanna cry
It started with the perfect kiss then
We could feel the poison set in
"Perfect" couldn't keep this love alive
You know that I love you so
I love you enough to let you go

I want you to know
It doesn't matter where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone

I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right
When you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on
So I'm already gone

Ahhhh already gone, already gone, already gone
Ahhhh already gone, already gone, already gone

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories, they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye...

I want you to know
It doesn't matter where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone

I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right
When you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on,
So I'm already gone

Nicely written.
