Trusting one's memory can be lethal
"Total Recall" is a remake of the 1990 sci-fi film that starred Arnold Schwarzenegger.  Because of its success, Hollywood decided to dust it off, reboot it, make a few changes, and present it as a summer action alternative to "The Dark Knight Rises."<br /><br />Based on the Philip K. Dick novel "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale," the current "Total Recall" is set in a future world comprised of two superstates, the United Federation of Britain and The Colony.  The Colony's inhabitants must travel from their bleak, overcrowded neighborhoods to their factory jobs in the wealthy Federation via the Earth's only remaining means of long-distance travel -- the Fall, a huge elevator/tram that drops through the core of the Earth and deposits its passengers on the other side. The entire journey takes a mere 17 minutes, far better than a daily commute across the GW Bridge in 2012.<br /><br />Because life is dull, a company called Rekall offers to provide customers with vivid memories of pleasurable experiences. Colony-dweller Doug Quaid (Colin Farrell), dreaming of a more exciting and glamorous life, ignores the warnings of a co-worker and visits Rekall, where he pays for a chemical implant that will give him an artificially induced memory of an exciting past. In the midst of the treatment, however, all hell breaks loose when armed robot police break in and start shooting the place up.  Miraculously, and for reasons unknown to him, Doug manages to destroy a pile of these deadly adversaries in breakneck time.  How can he do this?  Where did he learn the skills?  Is this reality?  A memory?  A combination?<br /><br />So goes the rest of the movie, an above-average action flick with more than its share of twists and turns.  As you watch, you'll notice borrowings from other sci-fi films. The sunless, rain-soaked landscapes are right out of "Blade Runner;" the white-clad robot police are clones of the "Star Wars" stormtroopers; a gravity-less sequence is reminiscent of the hotel corridor sequence in "Inception;" images of the Colony's occupier, Cohagen (Brian Cranston), appear on giant screens everywhere, in clear homage to "1984;" and the daily drudgery of the workers comes right from Fritz Lang's "Metropolis."<br /><br />Farrell plays Quaid as a nondescript Everyman. Farrell's cinematic stature does not yet match that of brighter lights Tom Cruise or Harrison Ford, and that helps us accept Doug as the poor schlub next door who gets himself into a pretty complicated fix.  Hitchcock never did science fiction, but he'd likely enjoy the plot -- an innocent gets involved in an immensely sticky lethal mess and must work his way out of it. The story draws us in and holds us, and director Len Wiseman keeps the pace brisk and lively with enough action for two pictures.<br /><br />The standout performance in "Total Recall" is from Kate Beckinsale as Doug's wife, who has an agenda all her own. The role has many intriguing facets, which will not be revealed here.  Ms. Beckinsale does so much running, fighting, chasing, and shooting that she resembles a computer-generated video game avatar, but gets to convey enough human emotion to keep her character reasonably grounded.<br /><br />The dialogue in Kurt Wimmer and Mark Bomback's script is frequently pedestrian and ordinary.  The 1990 version had humor, even campiness tossed in, making it a unique experience.  The present "Total Recall" takes itself far more seriously, with tremendous effort (and money) devoted to elaborate action sequences.  When it comes to an award for cleverness or sparkle, the scriptwriters might as well stay home.<br /><br />The production design by Patrick Tatopoulos is striking.  The Fall, in particular, is impressive and includes lots of interesting details that make such a contraption plausible. The intercutting of live action and real sets with the CGI imagery is smooth, and when the computer-generated shots are shown, there is always a slightly panning camera movement to make them appear more authentic.<br /><br />Rated PG-13 for violence and language, "Total Recall" is a journey of the mind set in a futuristic time.  When compared with other sci-fi movies, it doesn't rank with the best.  As an action film, however, it offers a two-hour thrill ride.<br /><br />Bonus extras on the two-disc Blu-ray edition include several behind-the-scenes featurettes, digital copy, and gag reel.  There are also single-disc and three-disc Blu-ray editions. The latter contains all the extras on the two-disc edition as well as a DVD version.
