Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
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!
ronin1138 I don't know how or why, but for a film with soooooo much action, so many cool looking set pieces, running, jumping, bang bang, shouty bang gun bang chase me bang gun etc etc etc, it is strangely unengaging. Just yawn...
AlexMedario I've watched the two films in a row, first the Schwarzenegger movie, then the update. Even so the special effects, how the cities are set and an improved story, the initial film has an extra because the humor.A few differences and references of both films. This second film happens entirely in this planet. The first one was between Earth and Mars. Just a Mars reference happens when Douglas is going to be implanted the holiday memory and he states that he would love to visit the planet. The road with levitating vehicles is excellent, a real vehicle where the pilot is a ridiculous dummy.Mars is full of mutants, and this includes a prostitute with three breast. The Colony, in the recent film, has a interesting night life also, and the scene repeats when a girl shows her three breast to Douglas.I suppose there are a few more hidden references, but it's kind of a game to find them, let's try for yourself.Enjoy.
