Surrogates (2009)

This is one of those movies that prove the 90 minute rule. This is an amazing sci-fi notion that could have really been a great movie if it had been allowed to breathe and develop. What we have instead is a 89 minute cram fest that leaves the cheese off the burger. This is not to say that its entirely un-enjoyable, not what I am saying at all, but there was so much untapped potential. Nuts and bolts is that in the future almost everyone is a couch potato and we all lay in a sensory bed and have our android bodies bump uglies in our stead. I read one review about this movie saying something that it was too hard to believe because only rich people would have these bodies. Well, two things, after I chide the other reviewer for having the economic sense of a 3 year old or a liberal. First 'ITS A MOVIE', I mean hell we never talk about whether finger glowing neck boner aliens or talking dogs is "hard to believe"(the premise can be whatever, the realism is in making it come to life). Second, and those of us born before the computer age can attest, there was a time when computers were too expensive for anyone but the rich. Guess what happened? Yeah.... we caught up now? I lied. Three things.... the 90 minute rule.. if you were paying attention, there was about 20 seconds that demonstrated that there were a lot of different grades of bodies, not everyone had the super cool rock-em-sock-em one Willis did.. but you had to be paying attention.
