Len Wiseman’s remake of the Paul Verhoeven film Total Recall (1990) with Colin Farrell replacing Arnold Schwarzenegger in the title role of Doug Quaid, based on the Philip K. Dick short story We Can Remember It for You Wholesale (1966) is a worthy kinetic Sci-Fi Action Adventure film.

A factory worker, Quaid, living in the underworld of a worker colony, commutes to work every day in the United Federation of Britain (UFB) on the other side of the planet by way of a global magnetic elevator transport vehicle that travels through the earth’s core.

TWO WEEKS!

I enjoyed your review and agree with you in regards to the stunning visuals and the breath taking action sequences, particularly the elavator scene. However, I didn't really enjoy this movie that much. I am a big fan of the original so maybe I was expecting it to be more along the lines of that movie? Im not to sure, but something didn't click with me on this remake? Seeing the "TWO WEEKS" was an excellent nod to the original though. Great review,
