Surrogates

Kinda meh film that kinda swings on and misses from of the interesting possibilities in a world where people can remote operate robots from the comfort of their homes as themselves. A thinly veiled parable for the internet generation and what it perceives as the increasing disconnectedness and inhumanity of mankind.

A less creative vision of the future than Corey Doctorow’s Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom where anyone can download into new bodies though I guess the difference in this one is that people aren’t immortal, merely able to remote operate.
