haha maybe when the original Total Recall came out it could have been debatable. But these days Sharon Stone looks pretty beat.

Keep in mind that most of these "originals" people get so nostalgic about are already remakes/rehashes/reimaginings of existing books or short stories. The first Total Recall is based on (or at least "inspired by") a 1966 Philip K. Dick short story, so... not an original idea in and of itself.

A lot of times with these sorts of things, too, subsequent remakes turn out being closer to the original story they're based on, than the first version that everyone is comparing them to.

Supposedly, based on plot information the remake is a closer adaptation of the book. I'll probably still end up seeing just for the fight scene between Kate and Jessica.

When I saw the trailer for the new one, I noticed that same thing too.

I'm gonna see it with the expectation its going to suck balls.

Nope.

I saw the new one on Saturday, then re-watched the old one on Sunday. Surprised at how many similarities and call-backs there were after watching them back to back. Especially the lingering camera on the lady at the metal detector.

I watched it a couple nights ago. It was pretty good other than the fact that they skipped a lot of backstory which is needed but can't fit it in I guess. The movie started out in the middle of a plot and I didn't really get it until after I started to realize that the start of the movie was actually going in progress. That's the only thing I didn't like about it

7/10

Watched this last night. Overall? Meh

Basically watched for Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel =)

It wasn't a great movie. It wasn't an actionpacked thriller of mind boggling escapades. I gotta say, it had less plot holes and made more (and less) sense than the one with Arnie, and make sure you pay attention to the scene with the Passport section. It's a nice cameo homage.

All in all, it was a decent movie. I was entertained. It was worth the $8 to see it in the afternoon in a half empty theatre.

as said in the other thread i thought it was quite good enjoyed it a lot :)

bloodmack 08-07-2012 10:16 PM

the 80's recall was much more satisfying IMO. They seem to throw in a ton of parts from it into the new one very randomly.. 3 tittie scene was totally confusing to me..

FlyNvBaller 08-07-2012 10:20 PM

i enjoyed it and my wife really enjoyed it.
I went to watch an action film and that's pretty much what i got.

yeah that was really unnecessary and didn't really fit at all but it was something fans really wanted i'd rather have seen the exploding head ;)

On the bright side, they didn't kill off the psycho "wife" nearly as soon ;)

It was a well-done movie, but ultimately... it was just another movie. The 1990 version was a lot more fun (bad bloated-faces effect notwithstanding), and come on, Arnie's one-liners are what it's all about.

"Get your ass to Mars."
"See you at the party, Richter!"
"Consider dat a divorce."

Also the plot twist in the 90's one was much more satisfying than the new one.
