Blu-ray brings a classic back to life.......2007-06-12

For those who complain about the quality, I don't know what kind of equipment they were watching this on, but I've seen my fair share of blu-ray movies and this one was right up there.

Clear colors and nice sound - we had a blast reliving this movie from the past. I highly recommend it!

Disappointing Transfer .......2007-02-15

I Love Total Recall as a movie hence the reason I've bought it for a 3rd time, after VHS and DVD. I must say I was very disappointed with this transfer, why when films can be cleaned up prior to transfer do they make us buy such a crap transfer!? I mean I bought the Rambo1 Blu Ray from Lionsgate/ Studio Canal which is now 25 years and that is a superb transfer, even the French HD of Basic Instinct is a Cracking transfer by Studio Canal, In Comparison Total Recall is a let down, and to be honest when we fork out our hard earned cash for movies we love on HD formats we expect a marked improvement, why should we make excuses that this film is old, what 1990 is old! When film companys that do spend the money get results, have you seen the Bond Remasters on DVD, some of these are over 40 years old and look better then ever (cant wait for the blu rays of them!) Overall Buy this if you must have it, but be prepared for a let down visually!

HD-DVD Total Recall Review, AUSTRALIA RELEASE!!!.......2007-02-10

Totall Recall is distributed by Universal and Studio Canal in Australia, which means we get Total Recall released here on HD-DVD, not Blu-ray. This also means they'll be releasing Terminator 2 (Theatrical) here aswell.

Totall Recall on HD-DVD, fairs up pretty nicely.

Video: 3.5/5
Picture Quality is great, with sharpness and clarity on par with most HD-DVD releases. Grain is definatley present, but this is what's expected for such an old film. Comparing it to the previous Special Edition DVD, the HD-DVD is a HUGE STEP UP. Also, this HD-DVD's colour has noticeably been PUMPED UP in SATURATION, which is a very nice edition (Mars has never looked so pretty). I also read that it is a much better transfer than the Blu-ray release.

Sound: 3.5/5
We get a DTS-HD master here, and it sounds great. Although, it's hard to judge when I haven't got an AMP that fully supports lossless audio, but what i heard on the down conversion is great.

Special Features: 0/5
We get nothing here, NOTHING!! Studio Canal have to do much better than this.

Overall: 3.5/5
Whilst no Special features, Total Recall is still worth the purchase. it's such a classic Arnie action flick, every fan should own either the HD-DVD or Blu-ray version.

Poor transfer to blu-ray.......2006-12-22

This is a bad-transfer to Blu-ray. My DVD is just as good and has more extras also! Don't waste your money.

Well paced Sci-Fi.......2006-09-28

This is one of Arnold's best. Take a great lineup of actors. Throw in a good story by Philip K. Dick (screen play by Ronald Shussett, Dan O'Bannon, and Gary Goldman). Add a well designed set that make you feel you are there. And you have the makings for a pretty good movie. With a few exceptions it is hard to tell the good guys format the bad and with several plot twists it is hard to know if you should root for the good guy or the bad. A hint stick with Arnold and you can not go wrong (Maybe).

Douglas Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger) a mild mannered construction worker, who is happily married to Lori (Sharon Stone), and seems extraordinarily attracted to life on Mars. Now Mars is settled and basically ran by a mining consortium. And the least Douglas can do is take a vacation there. Discouraged by his wife he decided to take a virtual trip there.

Oh no, something has gone wrong. It turns out that unknown to him he is not Douglas Quaid. He finds out that his whole history is a lie. Now people are out to kill him and he must find out who he is and why. If he escapes, the journey will take him to Mars to fulfill his or someone's destiny. Good or bad we are along for the ride.

This science fiction blockbuster from 1990 began its production life as a very different movie than the one that was released. An adaptation of the Philip K. Dick short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale," Total Recall was originally conceived of with Richard Dreyfuss starring as a Walter Mitty-like character who experiences a variety of artificially induced fantasies. The movie we know is a mega-budget action epic set on Mars. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a normal working man who discovers that his entire reality has been invented to conceal a plot of planetary domination. Oscar-winning special effects and violent action propel the twisting plot, in which Arnold manipulates his manipulators in a world of dazzling high technology. Director Paul Verhoeven (Robocop) indulges his usual penchant for gratuitous bloodshed, but the movie has enough cleverness to rise above its excesses. --Jeff Shannon

As I recall.......2007-03-08

Excellent film. The action in Schwarzenegger films is renowned. Often the writing, in the action films at least, is as well. This film ranks at the top! Truly a discussion film. Was it all a dream, did it really happen, What about the girl, the blue sky? There's plenty of evidence to support both sides of the discussion. Try it, you'll like it!! No discussion there.

A Great Science Fiction Mind Blowing Ride.......2007-03-04

I love this film and eventhough it's 17 years old I still think it's great fun. I mean what's more original than either taking a vacation to another planet for real or taking a trip there that's only real in your mind. Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as a man who's obsessed with going to Mars after a bunch of weird dreams he has of him there. His wife played by Sharon Stone "at her hottest, well next to Basic Instinct" is jealous since he's having dreams of another woman with him. He goes to a place called Recall that can send you to certain places in your mind with an implant that Arnold decides to go to anyway.

After he gets the implant he finds that he's not on Mars but that everyone is chasing him with guns...including his hot wife who claims she was never his wife and just playing the part. He learns that he was never who he thought he was and was really a bad guy who got his memory erased and filled in with false memories. But could it be that the implant never went wrong at Recall and that he's really just living out the fantasy of the implant. Since he did describe that he'd like the hot brunette from his dreams there and that he did ask to be a spy and well since he did wind up on Mars too.

We never really learn which makes this movie even more fun since I waited for years for a sequel with it all either turning out to be real or not real. But really this is a perfect film without ever finding out. It's like you're experiencing all the confusion that his character has and the film feels like one great Science Fiction nightmare come to life. It has realistic and fun effects and is just great to look at even 17 years later. There's just not many films that compare to the excitement and fun that Total Recall gives you. Some might consider it a classic if it wasn't a little too over the top violent though. But even with all the violence this is one hell of a fascinating movie.

Well paced Sci-Fi.......2007-01-15

Mind-blowing scifi action!.......2006-11-19

This is one of Schwarzenegger's best. He looks so energetic in this movie.
And Sharon Stone partners him very attractively. The movie will take you to Mars... It will have you thinking about what's real around you and what is just a dellusion... May be you too were a secret agent, but they erased your memory? This movie will help you to remember your dreams about beautiful space adventures.

The story is by the same writer Philip K. Dick, who created the story for "Bladerunner" as well. The original story for "Total Recall is titled "We can remember it for you wholesale".
The film setting is totally futuristic, with fantastic architecture and concept vehicles. Shootings, chasings, suspence, metro stations, hotels, videophones, Mars, the love town "Venusville" - you get all the features of a great movie. Don't hesitate, watch this movie now, if you haven't seen it already. You'll be glad you did!

Great movie, lots of twists........2006-09-16

Total recall is a great thriller! It has many twists and turns, and the acting is superb. Predator will always be Arnold's best movie, but Total Recall is in the top six. Please note that there are some very, very, disturbing images that will keep you awake for weeks!
