Product Description
2048. Quaid est hanté chaque nuit par un rêve qui l'entraîne sur Mars à la rencontre de la belle Melina. Contre l'avis de son épouse Lori, il s'adresse aux laboratoires Recall qui se targuent de matérialiser son rêve grâce à un puissant hallucinogène, de lui offrir un voyage aventureux... par la seule pensée. Mais l'expérience a des conséquences inattendues. Au lieu de lui donner de nouveaux souvenirs, la drogue réveille une mémoire effacée de l'esprit de Quaid. En fait, il ne serait pas Quaid mais un dangereux terroriste en lutte contre le despote de Mars ; Lori ne serait pas sa femme mais un agent ennemi ; et la planète rouge serait au centre d'un terrifiant complot. Poursuivi sans relâche par des tueurs impitoyables, Quaid s'envole pour Mars, où l'attendent d'autres souvenirs, d'autres dangers... et Melina, la femme de ses rêves. Où l'attend aussi une incroyable révélation sur sa véritable identité...

This science fiction blockbuster from 1990 began its production life as a very different movie than the one that was released. An adaptation of the Philip K. Dick short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale," Total Recall was originally conceived of with Richard Dreyfuss starring as a Walter Mitty-like character who experiences a variety of artificially induced fantasies. The movie we know is a mega-budget action epic set on Mars. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a normal working man who discovers that his entire reality has been invented to conceal a plot of planetary domination. Oscar-winning special effects and violent action propel the twisting plot, in which Arnold manipulates his manipulators in a world of dazzling high technology. Director Paul Verhoeven (Robocop) indulges his usual penchant for gratuitous bloodshed, but the movie has enough cleverness to rise above its excesses. --Jeff Shannon

Total Recall was a blast when it came out and is still great fun today. It had some of the best special effects before CGI took over. There’s a great scene where Doug is using a mechanical woman’s body and it comes apart in segments. The story was just as good. Even after the first reveal that Doug’s life wasn’t what he thought it was their continued to be twists and turns. By this time writers also realized that Schwarzenegger was great with one liners so there are a bunch of those throughout the film. It even plays upon a common theme of the rich and powerful exploiting the people for their own gain. Overall this still stands as a great piece of sci-fi.

As far as science fiction plotlines go, this one has them all. From terraforming and human colonization of alien worlds to mutant psychics and ancient alien reactors to political struggles and rebellions against totalitarian regimes to a future where implanted memories of false vacations are as commonplace as rhinoplasty and air itself is sold by monopolists. There are so many science fiction concepts to explore and appreciate here, and the convincing prosthetics, intricate models, and cutting edge (for 1990) special effects all work to brilliantly communicate them on screen. All of the characters are multi-faceted, multi-dimensional individuals with differing perspectives and desires, and all the actors play their parts brilliantly. The action and gore is immensely satisfying, with some of the scenes featuring Mortal Kombat Fatality-levels of violence. There are some very memorable one-liners here too. Between Sharron Stone and The Last Resort, the movie has sufficient sex appeal to complement the action and science fiction.
But the greatest strength of the film comes from the lingering doubt held by both the protagonist and the viewer as to whether what appears on screen is in fact real. The movie is perfectly paced so that just as Schwarzenaggar's character is about to confront this possibility, the question has already been slowly rising in the back of the viewer's mind. Too much evidence lines up for the false explanation of events to be purely coincidental...but does that make it true? Who is the real Hauser: the sinister, conniving corporate agent; the humble construction worker on Earth who dreams of a life greater than his own; or the defected agent-turned-rebel hero, destined to liberate Mars? Which persona was invented, and which reality was the dream?
During the movie, we are presented with a number of scenes that are to prove that he is or is not in a dream. Few of them are convincing as to him being in the dream. But, in order to accept that you have to explain away a couple of things. You have to explain away the beginning, the girl being in recalls character archive, and the ending. The ending is a storybook ending look at a sunset or sunrise.
Most every other part of the movie that tells you whether it is an implanted memory or not is subtle except for when they go to his room to argue for him to come back. Each of these can be manipulated by Recall for or against it being real.
If you give each piece the weight it is due, the one that screams the loudest is when her image is presented as his contact on Mars. You can explain it away as just a movie, an introduction to that actress, OR it is a big clue about whether it is a dream or not.
Doug Quaid is a blue collar guy who dreams of being more. When he decided to take a virtual vacation with memory implants, his real memories start to bubble to the surface and he discovers that he's not who he thought he was. Now everyone is out to kill him and all his answers are millions of miles away,... on the planet Mars.
One of my favorite Arnie Movies, this brings together all the right pieces, great story, beautiful visuals, fantastic supporting cast and a memorable soundtrack. Look for Sharon Stone in her first serious breakthrough role as the loving, but deadly wife of a confused Arnold.
Also check out the fun ideas they had about what the future would look like. Except for off-planet travel and implanted memories, we're so much farther along than they are in the film.

Bought to replace the early 2000's bluray release which unfortunately had a hit and miss playback history on PS3 systems. This new edition is a worthy reason to upgrade, crystal clear picture and audio range, good colouring which can be noticed most in the Mars scenes compared to the previous releases. Not many new features from the older release but contains a few.
I hope this review helped you. If so, I would appreciate it if you clicked on the Yes button for a helpful review. If you have any questions, please ask. I am pretty responsive to comments
But I am still not fully convinced by the new bluray transfer. It is better looking than the first release, so it is a good idea to update (it is cheap anyway). While there was a lot of bloat around the new transfer ("approved by director"), I found it absolutely impossible to find any real information about the work that was performed. The "restoration" example they show in the supplements is meaningless, as any negative scan needs heavy grading anyway to produce a useable end result.
Fact is: the movie looks different than any other film I know from (approx.) 1990. Colors, contrast, grain - it just does not look like properly recorded and processed negative cinema film from this time. It almost seems like they either initially messed with the exposure and/or processing of the material (intentionally or by accident), or the film degraded heavily afterwards (which would be strange for "modern" film from 1990).
Nevertheless, the 2012 remaster is very watchable and most likely as good as it will ever get. It is just annoying that this visually stunning movie will never look "absolutely great" because of unknown reasons.
