The movie came off as one giant chase scene, and it became slightly repetitive after a while. There were a lot of positive aspects to all the action, but the movie seemed to rely too heavily on it. There were a few cool things thrown in there, but the plot was definitely not the strong point of the film. It was there, but not as deep as you would hope for a "Total Recall" remake. This may have been influenced by inception, but the world turns upside down a few times, and it's visually interesting. It seemed as though a general theme in the film (besides "questioning what's real") was constant play with gravity. There were plenty of action sequences, and most of the time the film gave us eye candy that we haven't seen before. If you're the type that reads into the quirky inventions you see on screen, this film is littered with them. Pros: The futuristic world that has been imagined for this film was well designed. I'm pretty forgiving with science fiction films so I'll keep my review as objective as possible. I always rate a film on two scales: The technical aspects (an objective scale), and if I actually liked it (subjective scale). Before the release, I was simply curious as to what direction they were going to take with this film. However, I never hate a film based on such a simple principle. When I heard the news that Total Recall was being remade, I was just as disappointed as most were out there. That odd nature interjects the ardor today's films overlook. Looking back at the Total Recall (1990), little touches from Arnold make even the most gratuitous of Paul Verhoeven gore strangely comical.
Transversely Stallone's Rambo never brings the fun factor. One can't watch Predator without shouting to get to the chopper. However, the difference is in the touches of humor that always cropped up in the Schwarzenegger films. Like Sylvester Stallone, Schwarzenegger's typical role, at the time of the 1990 original, exuded masculinity. For someone considered a bad actor, we never actually won a Razzie?he actually got an honorary Razzie for failing to win the award, but did get a Golden Globe. The lack of Arnold Schwarzenegger helps one appreciate Arnold Schwarzenegger. The film hops between the Colony and the controlling British Federation with early going ease that it fails to divide acts. The Colony as it's called (Australia) fills in for Mars but since it's the early setting of the film there isn't anything majestic about reaching it. Only two inhabitable territories exist in the world. Since they aren't sassy mutants, there's trouble in understanding the context of early fan service. The people at peril are never characterized.

The omission of the plot to free mars creates a chasm of asinine edits. Fight sequences and most of the action come across as deft, if not too numerous.
You can see a frame of the 1990 version and understand immediately what you're looking at with it's consumer-ready technology do the same with this movie and it's another film looking back at Blade Runner. The art direction is noteworthy albeit not entirely original these days. There are maglev cars, a myriad of elevators, and a multitude of future housing developments. Where the original only had one computer-animated sequence involving primitive animated X-rays, this version has all the bells and whistles. This version of Total Recall does feature some upgrades. Meanwhile freedom fighter Melina (Jessica Biel) attempts to persuade Quaid into finding his true identity and leading the cause against oppression. Wife Lori (Kate Beckinsale filling in for Sharon Stone but doubling for Michael Ironside and offering the best performance of the film) leads a chase to capture the awakened Quaid. In the process of becoming his own secret agent, Quaid discovers that his life is a lie. He heads to Rekall where vacations come in the form of memory transplants. In a future where most of the Earth is decimated, Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell) can't shake his adventurous dreams. Yep, that sounds like a viable candidate for remaking. In the case of the 1990 Total Recall we had what was built to be the biggest movie yet made starring the biggest movie star around. Reviewed by Vaughn Fry (Legendary_Badass) 5
