qburton When watching this version of Total Recall, try not to compare it to the 1990 classic. Try to view it as an attempt at a classic story, possibly not fully visualized. I gave this movie a 9, not because of the very mediocre acting, highly lacking and unconvincing action sequences, but because of the sheer aesthetic beauty of both The Colony and the UFB, the closer-to-home feel of the concept and the overall cyberpunk feel I get when watching. If you view it as a remake, tha's how it'll look, and that's the feeling you'll get, spoiling the imaginative part of your brain that begs to be entertained. I understand if you can't enjoy the movie for it's acting or action, I hope you like me, forgave those by balancing them with appreciation for industrial architectural and cyberpunk aesthetic and story; a man desperate for change, thrown unexpectedly and violently into a search for answers. A classic redone with a different interpretation; if it helps, watch this one, then the original for a truly thought provoking saga experience.

jasperan The whole film takes you in the journey of the life of a simple man that finds his life has been a lie. During the whole film, you are presented with the question: is everything that is happening real, or an illusion? It kept me on the edge of my seat until the end of the film.I have to say I did expect another ending to the film.I give it a 7/10 because the characters are not very relatable with myself, so I can't connect like I usually do in my 7+ movies.Recommended!

gamleprut Watch the original with Arnold. It is a great movie though a bit dated.Kate Beckinsale is the only redeeming factor for this movie. She is hot and funny a hell. The hillarious anecdote about the "slide and knockout with her private parts" scene is the only excuse for this movie existing. And KB is a greate storyteller! Find it on youtube.

Benjamin Black I have never seen the original, and so I did't go into this movie with any feelings of what it should be. And I'll admit that a lot of the characters seem a little artificial, and the development is not all that great. And since I am not really a huge fan of the action genre, this could have put me off. But the pacing was perfect, and the graphics were something else entirely. It really is a perfect action movie. I mean, the scenes involving multi-tier cities, and falling through the earth blew my mind. The robots were awesome.
