I didn't see the older one of this, but I enjoyed this one. I thought that there were great actors. There was awesome action and visual effects of the futuristic world. I liked the story. There is plot twists that are pretty good in this movie, and just surprising moments. A good length to this flick. A lot of cool futuristic technology that the makers thought of. So overall a good movie.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I was looking forward to this remake of the Arnold classic but could barely make it through the entire movie. I was extremely bored as it all seemed to just be action shots and very little plot or character development. I'd wait till it's out on DVD and then only if there isn't anything else to watch on the 500 channels of cable now available.
Cons boring, terrible plot
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Hey... I loved the original Arnie version too. Unfortunately, they didn't make this a stand-alone move (easily done with a few plot adjustments)... so people compare it to the relatively-recent original. On its own, this movie kicks. Kate is outstanding in her role (and is a great extention on her bad-ass Underworld movies). Farrell is a great casting, Jessica is Ok-to-fine. The special effects are up there with current standards (Transformers/IronMan). Lots of fun... go see it... let it stand on its own without comparing it to the original.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I have seen the original version several times and have always loved it. Really didn't know what to expect this time, and really didn't think it would be as good. It absolutely blew me out of the water! The special effects were astounding, and so action packed, I didn't have time to get bored. There were a couple of things that carried over from the original version, which I won't give away here, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The only reason I didn't give the dialogue an Excellent rating is because in a few places, it was a little hard for me to understand when they were talking fast over a lot of background noise (I am a Southerner - I talk a little slower ;D). There was some brief nudity, but nothing we were not warned about in the ratings. I would not consider it suitable for a child due to that and the violence. However, would totally recommend this movie to anyone who loves SciFi action adventure.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Ok I'm 59 and a big fan of the original Total Recall, but that doesn't mean I don't look forward to good remakes. The special effects and make up in the original look sort of dated now so I was hoping they'd come up with something fresh, but still stick to the main feeling of the original movie. I like Colin Farrell and was excited about seeing it. In the original there was something that Quaid knew that could help the planet. They allude to this in this movie, but never tell what it is. And the girl popping up with the three breasts?? Why?? Was she a mutant? Not as far as I know. As far as I could see, there weren't any in this movie. So they stick her in there just to capitalize on the first one?
Nope, sorry......they didn't come close on this one. There are many remakes that are better than the originals, but this isn't one of them.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

This movie was not bad but it was nothing special either. Basic story with the kind of acting and situations you would expect from this kind of content.
The acting was good and the world itself was interesting to see.
However, it was predictable (even if you've never seen the original) and just didn't build that certain summer movie intensity.
A rental in my opinion.
Pros great actors
Cons very basic and predictable
No, I do not recommend this movie.
