Absolutely Fantastic

Absolutely Brilliant!

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The script for this fit so many stereotypes, it was unbelievably poor. It was so predictable and follows the usual storyline of so many other similar movies, it feels like a high school kid wrote the script. There are no twists, no plots, just action, cgi, and terrible acting. If you are expecting it to be like the original, then don't, this is a totally different movie. Don't waste your time on this, they could have made it so much better but unfortunately it is a razzie.

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've watched the two films in a row, first the Schwarzenegger movie, then the update. Even so the special effects, how the cities are set and an improved story, the initial film has an extra because the humor.A few differences and references of both films. This second film happens entirely in this planet. The first one was between Earth and Mars. Just a Mars reference happens when Douglas is going to be implanted the holiday memory and he states that he would love to visit the planet. The road with levitating vehicles is excellent, a real vehicle where the pilot is a ridiculous dummy.Mars is full of mutants, and this includes a prostitute with three breast. The Colony, in the recent film, has a interesting night life also, and the scene repeats when a girl shows her three breast to Douglas.I suppose there are a few more hidden references, but it's kind of a game to find them, let's try for yourself.Enjoy.

"Total Recall" is a remake of the old Schwarzenegger classic and deals with a normal worker that through a series of events learns that his memories have been faked by the government to prevent him from returning to his old life as an agent for the resistance movement.Although there is some serious thought put into the underlying story of the film, this remake is only slightly more than your average action movie because most of it mainly consists of long chases or gunfights. This way the plot stays unpleasantly superficial, even though I have to admit that the production is of high value and meets all the standards for a decent Hollywood Action Movie. I am rather critical if this new version would have been necessary. Yes, the new technical possibilities surely suit the story well but they also tend to force the actual concept behind it a bit into the background.All in all this is a better action film, spiced with some sci-fi- elements that guarantee a stringent story-line. Everyone should decide on his or her own if this remake was necessary, personally I could have well lived without it.
