The Australian actress plays an FBI agent in the sci-fi movie, which centres on humans living through idealised robotic avatars.
Speaking to DS, Mitchell explained that she felt under the microscope as the filmmakers designed her artificial surrogate.
"Did I like the look of her? Yeah, that was open to discussion. What's she going to look like? What kind of hair is she going to have? Everybody had something to say about it because it's a studio movie," she remarked.
"That really was an interesting process, to be dissected on that level. You know, 'Your teeth should be whiter. Your hair should be straighter'. I guess I'd never experienced that before and that's certainly part of the process of creating a more perfected version of one's self, supposedly."
Surrogates opens in UK and US cinemas this Friday.
