Masterful Sci-fi (but not perfect)

Rating: Null/10 (24 March 1999)

Total Recall. This was one of those movies you either love or you hate. I happen to love it. It was a near-perfect sci-fi flick about a man drawn to Mars by his dreams. Arnold Schwarzenegger gives a good performance as Quaid, and Michael Ironside was great as the man hunting Quaid down. But problems arise near the end. What the cab driver does is very predictable(I won't give anything away). And the alien who lived on the guy's stomach was clever but pretty stupid. The ending is good, however, when Mars finally...oh wait. I won't give it away. The special effects were good and was well deserving of the Academy Award in 1990. Arnold's eyes popping out was a great effect. Go and see this movie. Chances are you'll like it.
