Dick's own "Blade Runner" and "Minority Report". The rugged subterranean mazes of the red planet is replaced with dizzying skyscrapers and lots of sleek, flying cars, not unlike Philip K. Len Wiseman's remake of the same name replaces Arnold with Colin Farrell, in his first lead action role in years, while eliminating Mars as the backdrop of the action and replacing it with an overpopulated Earth where transportation from one corner to another occurs, literally, straight through the center of the earth. If you've seen the original, then you know how it goes. Arnold Schwarzenegger's screen presence was also an added plus in the 1990 film, as well as the one-liners, Mars and of course heaps of bloody violence. The harder Quaid fights to defeat him, the clearer it becomes that his memory had been altered long before he walked into Rekall.įond memories of Paul Verhoeven's "Total Recall" kept coming back while watching this remake. Cohaagen seeks to control the entire free world. He joins forces with rebel soldier Melina (Jessica Biel) on a mission to track down Matthias (Bill Nighy), the head of a resistance movement that's been labeled a terrorist organization by the tyrannical Chancellor Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston). Later, Quaid discovers that his life and memories were implanted. He's branded a spy, the authorities close in, and he quickly flees for his life. But in the midst of having the new memories implanted, something goes haywire. Douglas Quaid (Farrell) is a factory worker with a stable job and a loving wife (Beckinsale), but upon learning that a company named Rekall could grant him the memory of the ultimate espionage adventure, he decides to take a virtual vacation.
The planet has been decimated by chemical war in the late 21st century, leaving only two nations - the United Federation of Britain and the Colony. Dick's classic Sci-Fi short story We Can Remember It for You Wholesale returns to the big screen starring Colin Farrell, Bryan Cranston, and Kate Beckinsale, and directed by Underworld's Len Wiseman. A remake of the film Total Recall (1990), author Philip K.
