Total Recall (2012)

The whole film takes you in the journey of the life of a simple man that finds his life has been a lie. During the whole film, you are presented with the question: is everything that is happening real, or an illusion? It kept me on the edge of my seat until the end of the film.I have to say I did expect another ending to the film.I give it a 7/10 because the characters are not very relatable with myself, so I can't connect like I usually do in my 7+ movies.Recommended!

The theme, or at least the style, of the Len Wiseman remake Total Recall is that an inconvenience leads to a brilliance. A type of excellence is created by an experience of antagonism. The antagonism is the precursor. The brilliance is the successor. A precursor is a state of origin - origin is creator. The antagonism is the power. The brilliance is the weakness.A weakness, is a reality that should be avoided. A weakness is the purpose of censorship. The antagonism is the reality that shouldn't be avoided - the antagonism is the purpose of interaction.The purpose of interaction is a weapon. The purpose of censorship is a brilliance. A weapon is the aim of interacting. A brilliance is the aim of not interacting. The aim of interacting is the aimlessness of no interaction. The aim of not interacting is the aimlessness of interaction - the weapon is non-interaction that's dangerous, the brilliance is interaction that has no target. Danger is lethal non-interaction. Brilliance is non-lethal interaction. Lethal non-interaction is non-lethal behaviour that exists first. Non-lethal behaviour is lethal non-behaviour that exists second. Behaviour is lethal. Non-lethal lethal is first, lethal non-lethal is second. Non-danger danger is the illusion of danger. The illusion of danger precedes the danger of illusion. At the origin, illusion helps danger to not exist, and it's then afterwards that danger helps illusion to not exist. Danger is the inability to help. At the origin, the ability to help helps the inability to help to be the inability to help, and then afterwards the inability to help helps the ability to help to be the inability to help. At the origin, the ability to help tries to help the inability to help to be itself, because the ability to help understands that the inability to help isn't meant to exist. It's then after this, that the inability to help fails to understand the true meaning of help, and accidentally annihilates its helper. At the origin, violence is rightfully suppressed. Afterward, rightful annihilation becomes the misunderstanding of origin. Origin is correct suppression. Post-origin is the misunderstanding of origin. Origin is incorrect co-existence. Post-origin is correct co- existence. Post-origin is the correct co-existence because of the misunderstanding of origin. Origin is the incorrect co-existence because of the understanding of post-origin. Origin is wrong, because origin wants to prevent post-origin. Post- origin is correct, because post-origin isn't the objective of origin.Origin is the objective of prevention. The objective of co-existence is post-origin. Post-origin isn't choice, and so the objective of co-existence isn't choice. The objective of annihilation is choice, and so choice is incorrect. Origin is the need to accept the objective of annihilation, as that's the only choice - post-origin is the brilliance of accepting the origin of reality, despite post-origin having no choice but to accept.In essence, Total Recall (2012) is about brilliance having a right to exist even if it's redundant. Even if empathy is already part of the system, it's okay for brilliance to possess its status anyway. Because Total Recall (2012) believes in brilliance being brilliance even if brilliance is forced, Total Recall (2012) is an astronomically intelligent work of art

Much as I enjoyed the Arnie version and I really did, I liked this a lot more as it seemed less cartoon like - very Blade Runner influenced, thought. I am not a huge Colin Farrell fan but he always does a reasonable job and this is no exception. The humour that was below the surface of the first film seems to be totally missing from this one. The film looks great and is well designed. Bryan Cranston is always good value and proves to be so here.

This film is so boring that my mom left for soap opera while we were watching together. She haven't watched the original Paul Verhoeven's film, but I have. And I found the plot so predictable that I could even watch it with my eyes closed. That's when I learned that the mood music is absurd and the dialogues are idiotic. All the other aspects of the film are similarly inadequate, including acting, directing, and "The Fall", which endeavours to break all laws of the physics. CGI and background settings are worth a star, but you don't surprise anyone with CGI nowadays. Although I have managed to sit till the end, it wasn't really worth the effort. (Re)watching the original with Arnie is a much better idea.
