Terrific action future movie

Rating: Null/10 (16 January 2007)

Total Recall really rocks.
The movie promises more than it delivers. The beginning of the movie makes you think you are in for a treat, as the plot of the movie begins to reveal itself, leaving you to fill out the blanks.And everything looks well made, from the surroundings to the equipment people use, as the story belongs to the future. The movie takes a wrong turn (i call it "the Hollywood turn") when it starts to act like an action movie, with really incredible stunts and a lot of computer-animated scenes.Don't get me wrong, it all looks very nice, but since i am a very realistic person it just seemed too incredible to me.
The idea of the movie is good, and you can really relate to it (well at least i can), the thing that bothered me most was, it could have been better...especially the ending where the city is actually on Mars.
The actors, Arnold, Sharon, were solid, nothing special but also nothing wrong, Paul, the director, has his own style, it is really hard to describe, but the actions scenes are not complete, meaning you might see two guys on the ground at one point and then in the next scene they are both standing up and fighting, and in the following scene they are doing something else, so it looks a bit different from what i am used to, but it doesn't make the movie look bad (or worse).
All in all, a solid entertaining movie, developing a very modern and soon-to-be-problematic topic.
