That movie will blow chunks.

Where is the story about trying to start the reactor on Mars? Johnny-Cabs? Quato? Three breasted women?!?


Another movie/book Hollywood has completely ruined trying to remake

[coombz]

shocking

next thing you're gonna tell me they're re-making blade runner

[zack1234]

They should remake Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

[Ack-Ack]

It's not a remake of the Arnold Schwarzenegger Total Recall, like the Jeff Bridges version of True Grit wasn't a remake of the John Wayne version.  Both Total Recall movies are based on the short story, "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" by Philip K. Dick.  The new Total Recall just happens to follow the short story a lot more closely than the Arnold version.


ack-ack

I dont see why'd want to remake it.
I didnt think the original one was all that great

In the short story, he only had the memories of mars implanted in his mind, he never went to Mars like in the Arnold movie.

Did Ahnold really go to Mars? That's unanswered in the movie. In the short story everything plays out in Quaid's mind, compromised by implanted memories. I guess the Asians will be the new bad guys...

Rumor has it that a cut scene at the end of the movie is Arnold still in the chair at Recall with the view of Quaid, Melena, and the martian surface displayed on a monitor, per his "memory vacation"

[PR3D4TOR]

If I remember correctly the directors commentary with Verhoven and Ahnold, they both said it was a dream/implant. In the short story though there is a second implant about Quaid as a child having foiled a Martian invasion of Earth, and that his continued existence was the only thing preventing it from happening again. That was not explored in the movie.

  Quaid's fake wife was Hot!



   Some of the effects were over the top.......

If you remember the scene where Arnold is prepped for his dream vacation, one of the technicians holds up a little slide and says "There's something you don't see everyday, a Blue sky on Mars" This of course is the final scene of the movie where Arnold is standing on Mars after the reactor started and created the atmosphere. To me that was the clue that the whole mars adventure was just a dream.

Now that you mention it... Good point!
