Went to see The Surrogets




WOW!

Took @Hunkapillar to see The Surrogates yesterday and I will give them credit it is a top notch film, I was put off a bit by the clear choice of the actors to portray there Surry's as stiff and rather mechanical in there movements and they digitally printed Bruce Willis's face on a body double these things were a bit frustrating but all in all I was rather impressed. I was a bit worried when Disney first acquired the rights to the story because well it's Disney and they tend to soften things for the younger audience but they seem to have left Johnathan Mastow to his own when he adapted the screenplay. This film is fucking beautiful Sandbox FX, Brickyard VFX and I.L.M. worked wonders with the digital effects on this picture I must give them Mad Props!

Now this film is an adaption of a comic book written by Robert Venditti and published by Top Shelf Productions, it ran from July 05 to March 06 and was 5 issues long. The Surrogates: Flesh and Bone (a prequel) was published in July 2009

I give this movie a 4 out of 5 A must see check it out
