Surrogates (2009)

Bruce Willis plays Agent Greer, who, along with his partner Agent Peters (Radha Mitchell) gets called in to investigate the "murder" of two such surrogates. Unfortunately, they learn that the human operators are also dead. They discover the existence of a secret weapon that kills both surrogates and human operators, which leads Greer to a cult known as "The Dreads," led by "The Prophet" (Ving Rhames). The Dreads wish for a return to human life and want nothing to do with such machines. Greer's surrogate is destroyed in a chase/shootout and he must continue the case in the flesh, exposing himself to danger and pain for the first time in years. James Cromwell plays the reclusive inventor of the surrogates, and Rosamund Pike plays Greer's wife, who -- after the death of their son in a car crash -- is only comfortable in her surrogate's skin.

Surrogates certainly looks great, especially the creepy artificial plastic look of the surrogates, and it's halfway decent as a thriller, but it just doesn't bother to dig deep enough into its own concept to be very satisfying.

Blu-Ray Details: Disney's Blu-Ray comes with a commentary track by director Mostow, plus a15-minute featurette on robot/avatar technology, which has some pretty creepy, real-life robots. There's a short featurette on adapting the graphic novel, deleted scenes, and a music video. This is my first official Blu-Ray review, and of course I was just stunned by the picture quality!
