DVD review: Knowing

Talk about a disaster. Knowing , the latest film by I, Robot director Alex Proyas, sure wants to be the disaster movie to end all disaster movies, and it succeeds - just not in the way it wants to.

The Film Cynic

"Surrogates," or "I, Robot 2: Way Worse Than I, Robot," shares the distinctly plastic, non-threatening look of 2004's Will Smith yawn-factory, but it also takes a turn South from that low common denominator to focus exclusively on humans themselves as humanity's big enemy, instead of that much more frightening specter of evil, soulless machines.

Family Movie Review: "Surrogates"

Bill Foley Clinical "Surrogates" is like a trip to the wax museum. It's somewhat interesting to look at but it can't substitute for the real thing.

Surrogates Make Life Easy, Untill You Drop Dead

Hollywood has given roles to an actor because he or she has proven that his star power can draw fans into the movie, that power is usually enough to draw people into paying for what they believe is going to be a power house movie, but tends to be more and more just trite, loud action.

Surrogates

This is another terrible robots-out-of-control SF thriller, not unlike the recent film of Isaac Asimov's I, Robot which also starred James Cromwell as a brilliant cyberneticist.

Reader comments

Strictly speaking, a surrogate is "something that is put in place of another." So, consider "Surrogates" as something to see in place of spending hours watching the dozen or so other science-fantasy films that this latest vehicle for Bruce Willis rips off.
