I was stating that the unrealistic part of the film, as Benjamin mentioned, was how easy it is to break into the room that controls the surrogates.

I would expect us to get closer to real virtual bodies in the future. So to answer the question, we are not that far away from it. Thank you for the comment!

Today, we have sporadic versions of the film... Avatars... to change our appearance. Bio-technology used to aide in heart palpitations, just to name a few. Benjamin, himself is using a modified version of Surrogates. He to exhibits the traits that started the idea of Surrogates.. An avatar and not his real image. He disguises himself with an photo of something else that represents something. And while the film may have script flaws, that should not distract from the real point and message of the film. Are we too, far from the idea of having a virtual self? Moving away from man-kind to Bio-technical AI's? I disagree with the statement of the film being unrealistic.

I'm glad you left a comment. I do agree about the Crackberry's. I try to avoid technology when it isn't absolutely necessary. I sometimes use it too much, but I do love to use good old fashioned paper and pen! Thanks Bud! I’m glad you left a comment. I do agree about the Crackberry’s.

Good point on technology mind: the way most people are addicted to crackberries really annoys me. Sounds a bit ridiculous to be honest, and Bruce is showing his age.

It was way too easy to enter the room. Extremely unrealistic! That's why I don't write movie reviews :).Instead, I choose to focus on the overall message of the movie. There are lots of plot holes in every movie; I'll let other people point them out. I'm here to write about how movies can improve your life.Thanks for the kind words, Benjamin. I really appreciate that! I like your avatar! You’re right. It was way too easy to enter the room. Extremely unrealistic! That’s why I don’t write movie reviews :) .

Bruce Willis and others just seemed to walk in barely noticed by a soul and take over the most important room in the world. Maybe I am thinking too much about that key point?The other thing that bothered me is the robots. They had HUGE similarities to the recent movie iRobot which was surely a copy of something else but still played out much better in my mind as a whole.Anyhow, that's my two cents. The site looks nice. Good luck. This movie was ruined for me when it was obvious that just about anyone with a gun could break into the mainframe controlling all the surrogates.
