WARNING THIS REVIEW CONTAINS "SPOILERS"!!!!!!
Ok so like I said above this review does contain movie spoilers, so if you've seen the movie and the original, then please give this a read. If you havnt seen the either of the movies I would advise you not to.
Right ok im going to start off with my own personal thoughts when I seen this movie being advertised.
At first i was actually pissed off because they were remaking a Classic Arnie movie and in my opinion it didnt need remaking. However, like the remake of the karate kid featuring Jackie Chan they add changes but kept to the original plot and unlike the Karae Kid featuring Jackie Chan they kept the same names.
Lets start off my stating the obvious.
The movie is not set in an age where man has traversed space. it has nothing to do with mars. It has nothing to do with the ending of the first Total Recall [1990] which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger where by activating Alien technology created an Atmosphere which enveloped all of mars. It's different in that respect and because of the following changes the movie itself has my respect.
It is set in a future where Bio chemical warfare has made most of the planet unlivable. People are crammed into 2 colonies.
The United Brisith federeation [Parts of GB and western europe], or something and The colony [Australia].
Like the first movie the resistance are ever present and the trouble makers, or so we are believed to think. The master mind is Matthias. Although this review will contain spoilers I shall try my best not to spoil the entire movie.
After a brief trip to Rekall, he bursts his memory banks and things start to unwind. His perfect little life is not what it seems and much like the original Douglas kuade is starting to unravel who he really is. Who the people around him really are.
Unlike the first movie his so-called wife is a very pro-efficient agent in every respect unlike the flimsy damsel in distress agent in the original. After returning from Rekall, the happy couple began fighting, guns blazing, fists and legs flying here there and every where. A big pursuit follows which is much different from the first one. On that note I shall add in that Kate Beckinsale is waaay too hot!
From the footage you see at the very start of the movie we see a very beautiful and well known face, Jessica Biel. he meets up with Jessica while in pursuit yet again.
That is as much as im going to delve into the movie itself. if you want to find out more then please watch the movie.
Considering it's a remake im going to give it an:
8.5/10
My reasons are simple, where I think of Total Recall I think Arnie, not Colin Farrell, although he does a great job in his role, no doubts there. For me it was the absence of Arnie that did it more so for me aswell as how quickly Matthias gets killed. Thats the reason I deducted 1.5 from the overall score. Again my own thoughts and opinions.
I still recommend you watch it.
Enjoy.
