At first I thought robot surrogates is an interesting concept. I can't see it being possible that it would become the norm so quickly, which immediately had me question the premise. This wouldn't be too big a deal if the storyline was written better and didn't have so many holes. It's never good watching a movie and finding yourself constantly challenging it - Why would people bother having their surrogates drive, how likely is the severe segregation of people in just a short time, why was crime so abruptly eradicated (the surrogates cost money don't they), etc.
All that would be excusable if it was still entertaining in a mindless action movie sort of way. Unfortunately, this movie tries to be smart and deep with little action.
The result is a very bad combo for a movie - boring and ridiculous.
