You're right; it's not surrealism. It supposed to be science fiction, yet in the movie there are too many unexplained elements about the Jedi, the Trade Federation, Naboo, and Anakin that it gives off a weird vibe that has no logic. So I stand corrected; it is not a surrealist film. It is just an illogical film. Sorry for the confusion.
Again, nonsensical plot holes and stupid ideas don't amount to surrealism - I can understand why you like to use big words, though.
So how about I say The Day After Tomorrow is surrealism? Global climate doesn't change this quickly!
I guess Emmerich set out to make a preachy disaster film, but the unrealistic plot devices turned out so unrealistic, it's like unintentional surrealism! I mean, it's got ice chasing people through corridors, that's like some nightmare stuff or shit..
