      Surrogates--Effect and Theme and Humanity are Ordinary

      I originally wanted to make it shorter, but it was so long that I wrote it once and forgot about it. In general, I think the film is pretty average. The theme is not very novel, but it is not too sci-fi and suspenseful, so there is nothing to record at the end of the reasoning. The stunts are pretty good, but it's normal to have seen so many "big... movies". If it is human nature, I don’t think it is very...

      (February 5, 2010)

      (February 5, 2010) Do you remember what it's been since the last Bruce Willis hit? I can't remember. "Sixth Sense"? Is that the year of the monkey and the month of the horse? This year's "Incarnation of the Machine" should have been able to turn around, because the story is good enough, and if the skill is solid enough, it can be deeply digged, but the reality is that the plot is protracted, the burden is particularly hesitant, and the director and screenwriter are very conservative. . There is...

      But life can't act

      When the heart becomes numb, it is difficult for a gentle hand to reach. Is it a broken heart or a real physical decay that hides beneath the brilliance?
              From ancient times to the present, art has often been a way for human beings to seek the liberation of their own souls, but in the modern age with prosperous technology, the Internet has gradually become a means of human self-rescue. In the virtual world constructed by the Internet, human beings expect to be presented in the most...

      On the technical setting alone, I personally feel that there are several flaws in this film.

      Regarding the analysis of human nature, there have been many expert comments. I am just analyzing several major flaws from the perspective of a sci-fi fan.

      1. Smell and touch problems

      The real people in the film are basically wearing a pair of glasses on a reclining chair and have several nerve contact units in their heads. But from the film, there should be basic vision and hearing. Nerve units may be external control of body manipulation instructions. No mouth-nose...

      There is no future fighter beyond the future

      The greatest value and significance of sci-fi movies is to rely on the scientific basis of reality to create a future landscape that surpasses the common sense of most audiences. It is in this sense that movies are called dream machines. The worst thing about future warriors is that after watching the first five minutes, you will know what the screenwriter is thinking, what the director is thinking, what the actors are doing, machines alienate people, and people need to get rid of machines. ,...

      After reading it, I feel quite depressing. Compared with the real world, it is just as cruel. When I reach a certain age, I feel that there are more and more masks, and the whole society is becoming more and more...

      I remember that there are not many real people and a bunch of stand-ins. Those people have a bad life. In fact, it is the same for us. The 4:3 screen of CCTV6 looks good and doesn't feel...

    Movie plot

    In the future society, the progress of science and technology is changing with each passing day, especially the development of the Internet has evolved to a point that humans cannot imagine today. All this is because Dr. Kanter ( played by James Cromwell ) invented the "machine agent". "Such a high-tech product. You don't need to go out on your own, you only need to connect your brain to the network, and you can do whatever you want...

    "Future Men" is "an evolutionary version of "Blade Runner" in the new century and new thinking ("Hollywood Report" review   ) . The idea, plot and details of the film are unconventional, and the development of the story is constantly changing. The protagonist, police detective, and wife have double-sided performances, and each stand-in robot has its own wit. The reflections on the relationship between humans and robots, and the...
