How sad is this?

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

As with the new ROBOCOP (2014), this falls short of the original films from 1987 and 1990 (both directed by Paul Verhoeven, by the way).This "new" Total Recall looks cool, but is simply boring. Characters are dull, story is what you expect it to be - nothing more, nothing less - and since the whole Mars-thing is removed, there is nothing exotic that makes it interesting.It feels more like a standard action-film that doesn't present anything new. If you've never seen the original, and you like shiny CGI-action, then you might enjoy this for two hours. However, if you enjoy the original 1990-version, then this is forgotten before it's even ended.And that's sad. As with the original RoboCop, this removes everything that made those two originals exciting, fresh and cool, and just spray paints them with CGI action. Sure, the 1990 Total Recall might feel a bit dated for the younger audience, but it is a far better film, much more fun and much more exciting. The 1987 RoboCop on the other hand, is by far surperior to its "new" take. Even when it comes to the effects...This film though, has nothing you haven't seen before.

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!

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.

This film is so boring that my mom left for soap opera while we were watching together. She haven't watched the original Paul Verhoeven's film, but I have. And I found the plot so predictable that I could even watch it with my eyes closed. That's when I learned that the mood music is absurd and the dialogues are idiotic. All the other aspects of the film are similarly inadequate, including acting, directing, and "The Fall", which endeavours to break all laws of the physics. CGI and background settings are worth a star, but you don't surprise anyone with CGI nowadays. Although I have managed to sit till the end, it wasn't really worth the effort. (Re)watching the original with Arnie is a much better idea.
