This movie is one of the best "Arnie" movies hands down.
While all of Arnie's movies "hold up" to the changing times, this movie, in particular, is still utterly watchable today. For both new audiences, and those of us Gen Xers who grew up with these gems.
You have to understand that for its time, this movie was exquisitely controversial for its racy edgy mix of sex and what was then GRAPHIC violence, that by today's standards is very tame and cartoonish. It's Nihilistic and Dystopian view of the human social paradigm of the near future, was a direct reflection of how we as a culture really felt it was going to be. In many ways, they got it right. In many ways, they got it wrong.
One of the fun parts is how light, cavalier and almost fun and aloof the movie is about its dystopian representation of the future. Sharing a somewhat lighter and more fun exploration of many themes of transhuman or dystopian corporatism that can be found in most of Philip K Dicks works, as well as many other sci-fi movies of the time. Unlike the BEAUTIFUL but heavy and almost nightmarish artistic Noir of Blade Runner... Total Recall manages to make dystopian futures look less like a melancholy hell, and more like a fun beer commercial.
Now is this a perfect movie?
I would say that as a combination of time capsule, and a really fun movie with an interesting plot that asks some very fun questions about perception and reality, it is absolutely one of those movies that I think everyone should see once.
It is a classic, and the remake that was made was utterly forgettable in every way.
Failing to even come close to capturing the FLAVOR this movie had.
This movie isn't filet minion, It's a greasy gooey cheeseburger fried up on a local working class burger shops stove filled with all the sinful and bad for you mixtures of grease, and whatever wasn't scraped off the grill. That burger that you may not be proud of loving, but can't live without.
This is a masterpiece, not because of it's quality and high brow scripting.
This is a comfort food movie, a Quintessential Arnie movie, and a right of passage for young men everywhere Ahem... (.)(.)(.)

Unfortunately, the movie is still grainy. I've other 4K movies that are also grainy. I think when the original film elements (i.e. film stock) is grainy, 4K simply doesn't remove the grains; the grainy look just carries over. Another difficulty with Total Recall, from video quality perspective, is that it's a dark film with not many colors. Almost all the colors are passive, pastel colors. Everybody's wearing gray and beige colors (when I mean everybody, I mean everybody). Doug is wearing gray shirt with beige pants, Lori is wearing gray suit, every other character is wearing, again, beige or gray or black colors. The interior design is also very colorless, beige/brown colors (that's on purpose, to give it a dream-like atmosphere). So these elements are not helping the 4K transfer and not in favor. If you already own the blu-ray, I don't think it's worth upgrading it to 4K - although the price is very reasonable (I bought it for $14) so you might as well buy 4K edition. I think, in my opinion, the Dolby Atmos is probably a better reason to upgrade from blu-ray to 4K, more so than the video quality.

The disc looks great as you'd expect BUT the digital code no longer worked. I emailed the retailer about it but have yet to hear back. That was half the reason I got this so the star rating is affected.

I just watched this for the first time. I saw the remake in theaters a few years back, and it was atrocious. Now that I've seen the original, I consider the remake an affront. This film is intentionally over the top and corny; I mean it's our boy Arnie, but it's 10/10 for excitement and style. The sheer madness of all the crazy face-bending, mind-twisting, gross-out aliens (mutants, technically) and body horror combined with gratuitous headshots, alien (and some human) tits, the human body shields, Michael Ironside, Sharon Stone, and the whole supporting cast really getting into it, and the one-liners OH the one-liners in this movie will do you in. Not to mention the plot is easy to follow and has a decent hook. Too much to ask for anymore. Top-shelf Schwarzenegger here, folks. They don't make 'em like this anymore.
p.s. The guy with the messed up face is Hank Schrader from Breaking Bad

Not the best 4K transfer, if you have a top notch movie system to play your discs on this is disappointing, picture and sound not really any better than the blu Ray.....save your money on this one.

Increíble 4K UHD con audio latino original. Cómprenlo!!!
Reviewed in Mexico on February 1, 2021Verified Purchase
Estaba un poco escéptico al comprarlo pero ya veo que no. El producto llegó en excelente estado y sin daños.
La calidad de la imagen en 4K es buena con un poco de grano fílmico que no es molestoso, solo en las escenas oscuras.
El sonido Dolby Atmos en inglés es estupendo, aunque no trae el audio mono en inglés original.
Lo que si lo recomiendo es porque TRAE EL AUDIO ESPAÑOL LATINO ORIGINAL acolo se transmitió en televisión abierta. Tienen que oírlo ya que es estupendo para aquellos fanáticos coleccionistas. Pero no solo en el disco 4K lo trae sino también en el blu ray, por lo que LO RECOMIENDO en vez de la edición en blu ray el cual trae Castellano.
La mejor en 4K no es grandiosa. Solo en coloración es donde se nota mucho el cambio.

Reviewed in Mexico on December 25, 2020Verified Purchase
Un clásico de la ciencia ficción que nunca pasará de moda. Pensé no habría mucha diferencia entre el bluray anterior y la versión 4K, pero el trabajo de remasterizado es fenomenal, todo se siente más natural con el soberbio HDR de este título, obvio algunas escenas se ven algo "sobrepuestas" por la tecnología de la época, pero son detalles que pasan a segundo termino al contemplar la obra en general. Contiene 3 discos: El disco 4K es la película, incluye doblaje al español latino y subtítulos al español para los que como yo, preferimos verla en su idioma original. También este disco 4K contiene las características especiales las cuales no incluyen subtítulos ni en inglés ni en español. El disco 2 es el bluray de la película y al igual que el 4K, viene en ingles y español con subtítulos. El disco 3 es un bluray de extras y tampoco incluye subtítulos.
