Total Recall

Watched the Blu-Ray of Total Recall today, and it was awesome!

Some remakes suck, some are good, but then some are just as good if not better than the original and this is one of them.

Unlike the original Total Recall, this one is all done on Earth and not in Mars. There's a lot of little things there were changed from the original, like his "wife" isn't married to another guy, but she was implanted by the big boss to pretend to be his wife. The wife in fact is the ground leader, part played by her real husband in the original. There is no 2-headed Mars resistance leader. But there IS the hooker with 3 tits, just like the original.

One thing I missed in this one was the part where he took out the tracking device. In the original was such a painful ordeal to take that thing out of the brain, in this one it's just in his hand. Also, no fat lady going through the scanners and then the head exploding. At the scanner part it shows us the fat lady, maybe just to tease us and get us to remember the original movie, but Quaid is actually "wearing" someone else.

The original was about helping Mars and all its inhabitants, and without spoiling the end on this one I'll just say that it helps out the people on Earth too by stopping a global war.

Great movie! IMDB rates it at 6.3, and I give my own personal rating of 9.0.
