Adaptation From the Imagination of Philip K. Dick

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2018)

Loosely based on a short story, "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale," by Philip K. Dick and first published in a 1966 issue of "The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction", Total Recall (1990) includes such Dickian elements as the confusion of fantasy and reality, machines talking back to humans, and the protagonist's doubts about his own identity. The futurist thriller was remade in 2012 with Colin Farrell, which didn't reach the awesomeness of the original but is some well-crafted, high energy sci-fi fun nonetheless.
