Review by Matthew Schuchman

Between 1987 and 1990, Paul Verhoeven helmed two milestones of sci-fi action cinema, that are still tough to rival. The remake of 87′s Robocop is still being finished, but the Total Recall redo is here and fighting for your love. As hard as I try not to compare any new versions of a film to its sources (The 1990 film or the Philip K. Dick short story, We Can Remember it for You Wholesale, the films are based on), it’s proving to be difficult here. The original film did so many things right, where this new glossy version is an atrocity of epic proportions.

The script feels like it was written by a child who understood the idea of the story, but none of subtle intricacies of it. There’s almost no reason to even talk about this film. It creates a ball of anger and pain in the pit of my stomach. A mangled mess of poorly explained situations and hastily thought out scenarios, the new Total Recall is totally pointless, misguided, sloppy, and pathetic. If I could, I’d visit Rekall and have the experience of seeing this movie erased from my memory.
