How could anyone not enjoy this?
Great film, easily the best sci-fi to come out in a long time. If you like sci-fi, ignore the haters and watch this film. Why anyone would rate it less than 7 is a mystery to me. That is all.
shareSome people aren't that into action movies. I would have liked more science fiction, less action. Still, it was decent. 6/10

Prove this guy is one of those mythical "studio plants" or admit what everyone else already knows, which is you truly are a moron. Give 100% infallible evidence to back up your claim.
LOL! It's a little late for the shills to come in now, SONY. But I reckon there can't be too many brain cells working their way through your company when you green-light such an inevitable failure as a Total Remake starring Colin Farrell...share
@RoboTheCock, your comment doesn't even make sense. What the hell are you talking about?
shareI was thinking the same thing, haha.
I would give this a 6.5/10. It was mostly a long drawn out chase scene, but I enjoyed the back drop of the ghetto-- very romantically sleazy, and the complexity of the upscale british hoighty toighty side of the earth. I thought the acting was more than satisfactory, and the plot made basic sense. Something that I always enjoy about new sci fi films is the creative futuristic things in it-like hover cars, hand phones, robot slaves, transportation cubes, and mind altering machines.
I really liked the whole tunnel through the core idea and liked the visuals of it, and could understand the message of the film-- that the powerful dont care about destroying the world because they will have their own utopias and can always take advantage of the poor and lie to them until they have a complete robot slave race. This will be our future, as the wealthiest find less reasons to have us poor folk around. The earth and it's people are more or less doomed as a whole.
Why are you replying to me?
The home video version just came out so some people are just seeing it now. Although I disagree that it is the best SF film in a long time I am glad the OP enjoyed it.
How old are you, 11? Some people liked this film. Some people that liked the original still liked this film. Just because you and your Aunty Mom hated it, it doesn't mean that there's only one way to consider it.
Please do not make negative comments about a film YOU NEVER SAW. It makes you look stupid.
Many hated it. I hated it. It's boring. It has no heart, no humor, no fun. And yes, it is constantly being compared to the original, because they gave it the same name as the original. They didn't have to do that. Like the original, the credits say "Inspired by the short story We Can Remember It For You Wholesale, by Philip K. Dick". This new one should add "Title Ripped From The 1990 film Total Recall". They should have named it something else.
shareActually, in the credits for this film it says:
"BASED ON THE MOTION PICTURE "TOTAL RECALL"
SCREENPLAY BY RONALD SHUSETT & DAN O'BANNON AND GARY GOLDMAN
SCREEN STORY BY RONALD SHUSSETT & DAN O'BANNON AND JON POVILL"
The title should be the same.
I got punched in the face. What's your excuse?
Oh, it says that, ok. Well, the title should still be different, I think.
Like I said, the plot is too different, no Mars, no mutants, no cause for identity change now without psychics, and most importantly, no one actually says the phrase "total recall" in this one.
The reason to make it the same name has to be just to ride the coattails of a popular movie. What a ripoff!
Exactly. I feel the same. In my opinion anyone who watched the original first would hate this movie. It was so boring. Except some nice special effects, everything else in this movie was garbage comparing to the original. Someone once said: you have to know how to mess things up - they certainly did know how to mess things up here. What a shame.
shareI had seen the original three times before I saw the remake. I thought the remake was better.

Hard to believe. Perhaps you are a very young person, and have no taste for such a relatively old sci-fi. But in the original everything clicked. In the remake nothing did. So why did you like it?
shareDefine "very young". I am 26. I still love the original, btw.
So why did you like it?
Because it is good.

"Because it is good."
I don't see anything good, except some special effects ideas.
And I do.

What the *beep* is robothecock talking about? Could he make less sense or be more abstract? I think not! Shut the *beep* up and go be obnoxious somewhere else! You have class written all over you.
shareI'm not into mindless(Steven Segal)type action movies but this had quality actors and almost enough SciFi haha I liked it pretty well.
shareReally? I felt that there was hardly any action. There was a lot of running away, sneaking away and driving away, though.
