I just watched them both, last night (when I probably should  
have been doing something else.)

Outland looked VERY familiar. So.. it is very likely that I  
saw that in the theatre waaay back then afterall.  I still  
liked it this time around too. That part where the sherrif is  
marked for death - the suspense was pretty good - as we wait  
for how he will outsmart the assassins - very Die Hard like.   
I had a couple "science" issues with it especially what  
happens when the space suits would decompress.

Surrogates (2009) was pretty good too! I had never seen that  
one.  I especially liked the scene where the handcuffed  
character gives computer instructions to the other person  
"..and then hit Enter". The person hits Enter - nothing  
happens. "Hit Enter! hit Enter!".  Hitting Enter nothing  
happens!  Then he shouts "Oh.. SHIFT-Enter!"  I had to laugh  
out loud at that one.
