Not a fan of Farrell.

marwash22
neither am i really, but it looks enjoyable.

steverules_2
Thats not mars ha-son

Kazenji
Yeah it looks like they've totally removed the mars side of things from the story.

steverules_2
Better than being a shot to shot remake like psycho I s'pose but still

I recall seeing a trailer...for the trailer...on youtube, which is something I've never seen or heard of before, a trailer for a trailer

Kazenji
Should've left mars in since that was also in the Philip K Dick Story.

steverules_2
So they took out an important aspect of the story, perfect

Kazenji
Then again i'm only going by what i can find on the net about the story

steverules_2
Be interesting to see what they do with this then

roughrider
Looks like a mishmash of the original story with The Bourne Identity.

Trailer didn't impress me much.

Robtard
As said above, very Bourne Identity, but in the future and with two hot chicks.

Looks enjoyable enough to watch in the theater so far.

marwash22
there were chicks in the trailer? All i saw was sexy futuristic robot police.

Kate Beckingsale and Jessica Biel, not a couple of hot chicks you'd notice.

THis will be another Conan disaster

Looks like some semi entertaining action with an incomprehensible and obnoxious plot to me. Take Mars out of the equation and I'm no longer interested. Sad to say, I think Verhoven's film looks better, heh..

ugh3

So move away from the original story and it would better your saying ?

because he never visits mars only part of his memories from the Recall place.

No, if it was YouTube, we'd be insulting each other and getting into extremely viscous arguments about really stupid shit.

No i didn't get hacked, it's just a dummy link hence the name of it.
I was mearly showing this is what a lot of people put on youtube when a trailer or something realated to a movie is posted.
hey i've seen this movie, go here. something stupid like that.

marwash22
the biggest problem people seem to have with this movie (that they haven't even seen) is that there wont be a broad with 3 titties. jr_erm01

BruceSkywalker
this looks way better than Arnold's

SupermanAscends
There's some hot babes in the movie. I'm watching it when it comes out.

Kazenji
I still like the one with Arnie for what it is too but not dissing this new attempt.

Major_Lexington
I dont know, it might be worth the 90mins of my time.

Esau Cairn
Seeing Colin Farrel in the remake of Fright Night & now in the remake of Total Recall kinda leaves a negative impression on me.

Kazenji
How so?

Esau Cairn
I dunno really...it's like Farrel's the fall back guy for remakes.

Kazenji
Not like one of the remake he's been in hasn't been terrible.

Esau Cairn
Hasn't been a stretch of acting abilities either.

Robtard
Fright Night remake was okay, imo.

steverules_2
I like David Tennant in that

Kazenji
Malcolm McDowell is another one to be in remakes with Halloween and now i hear 'Silent Night, Deadly Night'.

Kazenji
Good news everyone

Yeah, that's fascinating. I'm sure they're desperately trying to draw people into the theater for this, cuz it looks really stupid.. heh

All new trailer

Just saw the trailer for this. Yeah the action and special effects look great.. But am I the only one who doesn't like that it's an Exact remake??

As in story/scenes/dialogue, everything from the looks of it is exactly the same.

The story is very different.

DARTH POWER
^ Is it? Well that's cool then. Just looked exactly the same in the trailer. They were showing updated versions of the same scenes from the original.

Really?

i don't remember those White Robot soldiers in the original.

I wouldn't call it a "problem". Was doing coke-lines off your woman's ass last week.

Patient_Leech
Oh yeah? Well, yo mama..

They've updated stuff. But the dialogue and story "seemed" exactly the same, to the point where I knew what was coming next. E.g He goes home to his girlfriend I obviously knew she was going to try and kill him.

The psychiatrist telling him to kill himself. Almost everything.

But I suppose that's the difference between a Reboot and a Remake.

Patient_Leech
And there's something about Len Wiseman's over-the-top action that worked well for the Underworld films, but for things that are supposed to be a bit more grounded I have trouble accepting it. I had a similar problem with his Die Hard film. I guess there's something about this story that calls for that, seeing as the original is pretty over-the-top as well, but I'm not really diggin' it. Maybe it'll work okay when it plays out... i hope.

Kazenji
Kate Beckinsale almost played the 3 breasted hooker

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/nailbiter111/news/?a=63982

Robtard
I'm looking forward to this film, more-so than I rightly should, since it will likely be a turd.

juggerman
a POLISHED turd...

Ascendancy
Yeah, seems to have everything from the original overall, though I'm guessing that his girl won't try and kill him off. I'm not expecting a Batman quality remake here, but we'll see. No way it will be as big of a disappointment as Lockdown.

"Kate Beckinsale tells MTV News about how a scheduling conflict almost resulted in her playing the famous three-breasted prostitute in her husband's reboot of Total Recall."

That's one hell of a scheduling conflict with someone you're sleeping with. Hate to see what happens if her smartphone is stolen or someone flips the fridge calendar too many times.

had kate not been in this i would've been going

Kazenji
I'm seeing this regardless....looks far from being a turd.

Patient_Leech
Pretty neat behind-the-scenes featurette..

But he did say Kate Beckinsale was hot in it, so it might still be worth it.... mmm

she is the only reason im seeing it

Robtard
Wasn't very good, found myself bored many a moment. Both chicks were nice eye-candy and they alluded to it being a fantasy more so than reality, imo.

Patient_Leech
Yeah, just from the way it looks on the trailer and the poor reviews it's gotten, i'm definitely not gonna spend full price on this.

I'll be honest, I just saw it and I loved it. Absolutely. I'm not sure why some people are so annoyed/bored with it, considering it's a solid action film with incredible sci-fi dystopian elements. The atmosphere was utterly amazing. I too saw the reviews and the nay-saying, but I went anyways. And it was worth the time and money.

Ascendancy
Need MOAR opinions.

BlackZero30x
I don't typically go for re-makes but I do want to see this. IDK I just think it looks sweet! Anyone that's seen it think I should go see it?

Yes. A thousand times yes. Don't listen to the internet talk. Form your own opinion, and see a good sci-fi action flick.

Kazenji
Have to wait until next month for this one.

It's worth the price of a matinee, not the $11.00 I spend.

Actually, everything I've seen about the movie prior to watching it claimed the opposite.

And then you have the people who are fans of the first adaptaion saying not watching this remake and saying silly things such as there's no going to Mars.

Saw this last night. I have to say it's better than I thought it would be. Visually it's probably the best movie of the year. The city scape is astonishing. In terms of plot it's like they wrote a script and only at the end did someone point out it was very much like Total Recall and so they changed some bits around to make it a loose remake.

I can't say I was disappointed as I thought it was going to be dreadful.

Tons and tons of subtle homages to other sci-fi movies. The Matrix, Star Wars, I Robot, Blade Runner and more.

Also a nod to the old movie with the woman with the 3 **** and the famous "two weeeeeks" woman.

All in I'd give it a 6.5/10.

Worth seeing on the big screen for the visuals alone.

From what i read Len Wiseman wanted this one based more on the story by Philip K Dick thats why its lil different


went and seen this a while back and enjoyed it, I don't think this remake is better then the original or anything along those lines they're both good in their own way.

jaden101
Haven't read it so couldn't comment on how close it is to the 1st film suffice to say it's very different in terms of where it is set. Decent enough though. A lot better than I thought it would be.

PavelBerdon
I prefer old version.

That makes two of us.

Myth
Preferred? I love the old one and hate the new one.

Kazenji
I like both them.

-Pr-
I liked the new one quite a bit. I thought it was more of a sci fi movie than the older one.

The older one is still superior imo, though, and not by a little bit either.

Mindset
Well the old one had Ahhnold.

And his, as usual, flawless comedic delivery.

Sharon Stone was hot, and Michael Ironside as the villain. That's all kinds of awesome.

Casper Whitey
Not bad, old one was better though.

ditto
Kate Beckinsale's character Lori was a bit too much of a badass, annoyingly so.

Could be brilliant. The only thing that put me off seeing it was the childish 12 certificate.
