Surrogates

After watching Surrogates, it really made me think about how far technology has evolved. Watching this movie was like seeing a reflection of our world. Instead of robots, society is addicted to the internet. Almost everything is done electronically. The movie centers around Tom (Bruce Willis) who is a cop that sets out to find a killer who murders the son of the surrogates creator. He accomplishes this by using a powerful gun made by the company that builds Surrogates that fries the robot and its operater. The movie says that with your surrogate, you can be anyone, do anything and live the life you always wanted. What I found disturbing is every operator except for Bruce Willis lay on their seat plugged in to their surrogates for most of their days. Their surrogates would do all their work while they lay on that seat plugged in. That was very strange and it showed the strong addiction they had with technology. Of course, this movie also parallels with Existenz in the aspect of plugging in to your avatar. Several scenes looked out of this world with how advanced technology was and the surrogates were lifelike. It's a movie that is worth your money.
