Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

christopherhodges-91529 Arnie started the 90s with a bang with Total Recall- an awesome science fiction action film from Dutch Paul Verhoevan. Arnie plays a man who has his memory implanted with an adventure on Mars but soon he realizes that he may actually be on the planet and not just in his memories. Confused? Well, you should see this film to truly understand the plot. Although much like every Arnold vehicle this one has its fair share of action and explosion, there is also an underlying theme and deep meaning in there. Also, Sharon Stone looks stunning.

gridoon2018 This is probably my second-favorite Arnold movie, after the first "Terminator". It has non-stop (and well-staged) action, splattery violence, pitch-black humor, classic one-liners, impressive special and makeup effects....but also a well-constructed, puzzle-like story that plays with concepts of memory, identity and reality, a pointed political allegory, and a perfect pace with virtually no lulls. Whenever I watch this movie I always feel like this IS Mars (and not Mexico!); I also think Sharon Stone was sexier here than in "Basic Instinct". A crowd-pleaser which also gets you thinking - you don't get that very often. *** out of 4.

taunotooming Total Recall (1990 version) is one of the best sci-fi thrillers I have watched so far. The idea behind the movie is thought-provoking, the plot is well thought and keeps the viewer interested in during the whole length of the film. The acting is not great, but at the same time, it does not need to be great! There are some funny "Arnold lines", some silly and some terrific scenes and the film as a whole works just as it is made. I would give it 7 out of 10. Definitely worth your money and time, entertaining and memorable. It isn't just one of the great movies - there are some essential items missing, but it doesn't not need to be!
