Profile of Total Recall

Total Recall can be described as suspenseful, mind bending, and stylized. The plot revolves around memory loss, conspiracies, and a future dystopia. The main genres are action and sci-fi. In terms of style, Total Recall has a Hollywood tone. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. The storytelling is fast paced. Total Recall is set, at least in part, on a distant planet. It is located in Mars. Visually, it involves special effects. Total Recall is derived from a short story and a remake. It is well suited for a boys' night. Note that it involves brief nudity, sexual content, and profanity.

Summary of Total Recall

Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), even though he's got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life - real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man. Finding himself on the run from the police – controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston), the leader of the free world – Quaid teams up with a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) to find the head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy) and stop Cohaagen. The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love, and his true fate.

Users Reviews

Arnold's is better.
yes, it got some stylish special effects and a good looking cast, but overall it's no match for the 1990 Schwarzenegger original.
loved it!
Fast and loud action and a more suspenseful plot than those usually featured in late summer boys' night films.
Likely to see
Not for me
