Surrogates was entertaining for what it's worth. I'm a sci-fi fan and I liked it. It's an A picture with a lead who can do great drama and great action. Some things are not always understood but why did audiences stay away? The budget was 83M yet the film took in 122M worldwide.

I think it's pretty good too and somewhat underrated.

... why did audiences stay away?

The critics weren't all that kind to it and I know that in some of the more traditional markets, it didn't even get a cinema release, but went straight to the dvd market.🐭
