Surrogates - This is pretty good, but still a little unrealistic. Robot blood because all injuries need blood, even if it's not red. Also, billions of remote control robots using some unspecified wireless connectivity and real-time responsiveness even when in shielded locations? Sorry, no. But, it covers some of the worries and concerns pretty well.

2012 - finally saw this. Conceptually, it's good. Also, I like the cast. But the implementation of possibilities is over the top and unrealistic in order to draw out drama and action. I think if some of the danger-thrill had been toned down, it would have improved realism substantially. Instead, it's infinite cliffhangers.

Oh, and BTW, if you didn't realize 2012 should be viewed as a parody, you were doing it wrong.
Parody Errors?
The drama level reminds me of when I was 5 and the GJ Joe figures would have to survive to save the world after being severely injured....
Also, the stepdad was WAY too conveniently disposed of, with the X-Wife way too OK with that.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets annoyed by crap like this. I'm still not over the whole "uploading a virus" into the alien computer system in Independence Day. And don't get me started on the complete disregard for relativity in all the major sci-fi shows/movies I love that deal with light-speed travel.
LUDICROUS SPEED!
though they didn't address the energy consumption nor how they kept from exploding...
Blame it all on the Zed PM
