Typical but funny Arnold flick.

Rating: 8/10 (12 January 2014)

This is a sci-fi flick starring Arnold Scharzenegger as a man named Douglas Quaid who goes on a virtual vacation to Mars, which ends up being a real trip to the planet. Douglas is strung into a rescue mission to save the air-starving people of Mars from the evil administrator Cohaagen.
This is an exciting sci-fi Arnold flick with unending gun action and outrageous stunts. However, the plot is pretty exciting, depicting the hapless people of Mars yearning for their planet to be free from control under the dictator, Cohaagen. There are plenty of surprises and tension-filled scenes that keeps the movie's thrills going strong, helped by the decent acting and well-paced plot. There are also an abundance of witty jokes and one-liners from Arnold are in supply, making this a comedic movie as well.
The special effects were pretty good and convincing and there is plenty of adventure and twists and turns to make this roller coaster of a movie an entertaining feature.
Grade B
