It was a good movie, but it was not great, I agree. If you want to think about its potential and what it could have been, look no further than Blade Runner, both of which sprung from Philip Dick's works. Both of them blur the boundary between what is real and what is not, to the point whaere the characters can't trust their own memories or know who is real or not.

But Blade Runner takes on themes of life and death and reality, and make the viewer think about them. While Blade Runner endures and has grown into being considered a classic, Total Recall was a big budget drive in movie.

The trailer for the new Total Recall actually looks more like Blade Runner than the original Total Recall.

I will eagerly await your review and then decide if it is worth it. But I have generally been disappointed by remakes, Psycho, Beyond the stars , Clash of the Titans.

throw in imposter, paycheck, a scanner darkly and minority report- the books/ short stories were all great, but the movies did not come close to living up to the originals.

but if you want to conisder the worst of all story to movie adaptations for blown potential, gotta look at gibson’s johnny mneumonic.
