Good start, but then it gets ruined

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

I'm a huge fan of "Total Recall" (1990) with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone so I was interested in this TV show too. To be honest, I wasn't disappointed at all. They changed the story a little bit and added some new interesting moments here. First of all, I love the visual effects that were really great, especially for TV level. Second, the acting was great except for Cynthia Preston who played Olivia Hume. She was the only weak actor in this series. Anyway, Michael Easton, Judith Krant and Karl Pruner were brilliant. I don't understand why this wonderful series lasted for only one season - it deserved much more and had a big potential.

This movie is very stylish and sexy in its less than appealing future. Though very watchable, it wasn't very re-watchable with some episodes going nowheres fast.The series revolves around 2 detectives protecting the rights of the underprivileged. One of them where he and his wife have a phobia of androids, and his partner who is an alpha based android. Made of flesh and blood.It also involves trying to prove that the organization known as REKALL, from the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, is one of the most evil organizations on the planet, yet though their methods are questionable, there is no proof that they are. Reacting on prejudice in a way.Total Recall 2070 has a great style and atmosphere well suited for the series, and a questionable amount of sexual situations, including nudity and near nudity. Most of the episodes are high pace, and usually easy to follow, but they often lose us in the long run.

By no means am I saying this was bad series or anything, but it copied alot. It did have a neat sense of techno style that to me seemed taken from Phillip K. Dick's other famous movie adaptation: Blade Runner, and not entirely from the movie Total Recall. It also reminded me alot of the series TekWar with its future cops trying to thwart criminals that use the future's techno devices to commit their crimes and spread chaos in the uncertain times of the 21st century. Its a shame it was cancelled so early when we have bonifide sci-fi crap hogging our screens. This show at least proved refreshing in the old cops and robbers game can be dressed up to look new.

Having just seen the first episode of the series the overwhelming impression was that it was a remake of Blade Runner. The the gloomy sets, the constant advertising hoardings, the evil companies (Rekall is no longer a minor holiday company but is the equivalent of the Tyrell Corporation)were all more Blade Runner than Total Recall. Infact the plot itself whereby androids are trying to extend their life was that of Blade Runner. There was a minor plot involving fake holidays and an unnecessary trip to Mars to keep a link with the movie but throughout there was a sense that this was not the movie the producers wanted to make a series of. Having recognised this however it was enjoyable enough. The production values were good and if the plots become more original then it could be promising. Oh..It did answer the question left hanging at the end of the movie ...was it reality or an implanted memory? The movie ended with an atmosphere being restored to Mars but in the series there are still BioDomes and a red sky. So I guess Arnie is really strapped into a chair dreaming his life away.
