These scenes are great to watch but at points the movie becomes hard to understand which shouldn't happen. Throughout the most of the movie it shows 'Quaid' psychologically processing what is happening while also fighting people off. The scene is entertaining to watch but other than that the first 20 minutes of the film are slow and boring to watch. The movie opens as the 1990 film did by 'Quiad' having one of his nightmares also known as memories.

Later on an error occurs and all hell breaks loose. The plot to 'Total Recall' is that a man named 'Doug Quaid' portrayed by 'Collin Farrell' feels bored with his life and goes to a company named 'Rekall' which is a virtual reality that makes a fantasy seem real. Arnie has a much stronger screen presence than Farrell and it is much more ambitious and has more heart than this sleeker, newer one.'Total Recall' is another one of Hollywood's unnecessary remakes of a 1990's action movie. However, I'd rather watch the old one again. The PG-13 rating is justified, and there are indeed little homages to the original, but overall this remake is nothing more than a fast-paced, popcorn munching good waste of time, with some really nice CGI to chew on. Sadly the script could've been a whole lot better, but then again, if they had set it on Mars it would've been a shot-for-shot remake with better characters, but still I would've loved to see action on the Red planet once again. Where's Marco Beltrami or even for that matter his legendary mentor, the late, great Jerry Goldsmith when you need them?ĭirector Wiseman has a knack for action sequences ('Underworld', 'Die Hard 4') and it shows aplenty here. It was just there, does its job, and I didn't care. Abrams), the music score by Harry Gregson- Williams was kind of bland in my opinion. While the editing is fast-paced and the cinematography sleek (with a little too much lens flare ala J. Alas, the majority of the movie is laced with action sequences and sensational special effects (seriously, this is CGI porn) that may get this film a nomination for Best Visual Effects this year. The scene where Bokeem Woodbine's character tries to convince Quaid (Farrell) where he's still in a dream is certainly a standout scene which was very well done. The script is a near complete rehash of the original, save for the setting and the final act of the film. The best thing the screenwriters did is to combine Sharon Stone's and Michael Ironside's characters from the 1990 film into one, and as portrayed by Kate Beckinsale, she kicks serious ass here. Bryan Cranston's Cohaagen makes me miss Ronny Cox even more, and Bill Nighy's resistance leader doesn't stand out compared to the 1990 film. Certain characters are trimmed or even cut completely from the original. I have fonder memories of the Verhoeven/Arnold version where one-liners come post-Arnie-kill. Alas, everything is taken way too seriously in this version. Dick's own 'Blade Runner' and 'Minority Report'.įarrell can act and is definitely a strong action lead and it shows here, as per the beautiful ladies Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel who both show off brawn over beauty here.

The rugged subterranean mazes of the red planet is replaced with dizzying skyscrapers and lots of sleek, flying cars, not unlike Philip K. Len Wiseman's remake of the same name replaces Arnold with Colin Farrell, in his first lead action role in years, while eliminating Mars as the backdrop of the action and replacing it with an overpopulated Earth where transportation from one corner to another occurs, literally, straight through the center of the earth. If you've seen the original, then you know how it goes.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's screen presence was also an added plus in the 1990 film, as well as the one-liners, Mars and of course heaps of bloody violence.
