Surrogates (2009)

This is a interesting idea: most people choose not to risk their bodies out in the world, opting instead to have realistic avatars, controlled from home, do the first-hand living for them. In our shop-at-home, chat-room world, it doesn't seem all that far-fetched. Gary and I paused the film several times while viewing to discuss what we were seeing and to explore what our own choices/feelings would be.

Surprisingly effective and enjoyable movie.

B+
