Gripping story with well-crafted characters

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Movie Review: "Total Recall" (2012)Director Len Wiseman takes on the 1990 smash hit "Total Recall" based on a short story by mystified science-fiction author Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) starring Arnold Schwarzenegger directed by Paul Verhoeven, navigates not-fully-activated actor Colin Farrell through a maze of partially working scenes of high-scale action captured by cinematographer Paul Cameron, who delivers some amazing camera motions with a newly-rigged railing camera system, especially after the main character's second high-conceptual awakenings in a Asian-flavored "Rekall Center", which hardly finds its pace into this unless promising science-fiction movie remake.The event movie features a great ensemble cast including Jessica Biel as fighting-spirited character of Melina, Kate Beckinsale as viciously-twisting wife of leading character Quaid and a fully-aware out of a "Breaking Bad" season intermission actor Bryan Cranston as enterprising nemesis-character of Cohaagen, when a major scenario change from the surface of Mars in "The Schwarzenegger Version" gets exchanged for an massive underground transportation system called "The Fall" connecting first-class maintenance with an revolution-provoking economy living environment, which seems to be a daring choice for a compellingly-remade story-line.But then again "Total Recall" (2012) produced by Neal H. Moritz, known for "The Fast and The Furious" movie series, falls short when hitting conclusions due to equally bloodless as endless "I, Robot" (2004) shoot-out interventions, when the original movie adaptation from 1990 had been feeling into organic as accessible character relations exploding into hard-core conflicts for the matured spectre.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

Watch the original with Arnold. It is a great movie though a bit dated.Kate Beckinsale is the only redeeming factor for this movie. She is hot and funny a hell. The hillarious anecdote about the "slide and knockout with her private parts" scene is the only excuse for this movie existing. And KB is a greate storyteller! Find it on youtube.

The theme, or at least the style, of the Len Wiseman remake Total Recall is that an inconvenience leads to a brilliance. A type of excellence is created by an experience of antagonism. The antagonism is the precursor. The brilliance is the successor. A precursor is a state of origin - origin is creator. The antagonism is the power. The brilliance is the weakness.A weakness, is a reality that should be avoided. A weakness is the purpose of censorship. The antagonism is the reality that shouldn't be avoided - the antagonism is the purpose of interaction.The purpose of interaction is a weapon. The purpose of censorship is a brilliance. A weapon is the aim of interacting. A brilliance is the aim of not interacting. The aim of interacting is the aimlessness of no interaction. The aim of not interacting is the aimlessness of interaction - the weapon is non-interaction that's dangerous, the brilliance is interaction that has no target. Danger is lethal non-interaction. Brilliance is non-lethal interaction. Lethal non-interaction is non-lethal behaviour that exists first. Non-lethal behaviour is lethal non-behaviour that exists second. Behaviour is lethal. Non-lethal lethal is first, lethal non-lethal is second. Non-danger danger is the illusion of danger. The illusion of danger precedes the danger of illusion. At the origin, illusion helps danger to not exist, and it's then afterwards that danger helps illusion to not exist. Danger is the inability to help. At the origin, the ability to help helps the inability to help to be the inability to help, and then afterwards the inability to help helps the ability to help to be the inability to help. At the origin, the ability to help tries to help the inability to help to be itself, because the ability to help understands that the inability to help isn't meant to exist. It's then after this, that the inability to help fails to understand the true meaning of help, and accidentally annihilates its helper. At the origin, violence is rightfully suppressed. Afterward, rightful annihilation becomes the misunderstanding of origin. Origin is correct suppression. Post-origin is the misunderstanding of origin. Origin is incorrect co-existence. Post-origin is correct co- existence. Post-origin is the correct co-existence because of the misunderstanding of origin. Origin is the incorrect co-existence because of the understanding of post-origin. Origin is wrong, because origin wants to prevent post-origin. Post- origin is correct, because post-origin isn't the objective of origin.Origin is the objective of prevention. The objective of co-existence is post-origin. Post-origin isn't choice, and so the objective of co-existence isn't choice. The objective of annihilation is choice, and so choice is incorrect. Origin is the need to accept the objective of annihilation, as that's the only choice - post-origin is the brilliance of accepting the origin of reality, despite post-origin having no choice but to accept.In essence, Total Recall (2012) is about brilliance having a right to exist even if it's redundant. Even if empathy is already part of the system, it's okay for brilliance to possess its status anyway. Because Total Recall (2012) believes in brilliance being brilliance even if brilliance is forced, Total Recall (2012) is an astronomically intelligent work of art

I have never seen the original, and so I did't go into this movie with any feelings of what it should be. And I'll admit that a lot of the characters seem a little artificial, and the development is not all that great. And since I am not really a huge fan of the action genre, this could have put me off. But the pacing was perfect, and the graphics were something else entirely. It really is a perfect action movie. I mean, the scenes involving multi-tier cities, and falling through the earth blew my mind. The robots were awesome.
