DVD Reviews of Total Recall (Special Limited Edition)
DVD Review: Are you serious! This was written in the 1990!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Holy Indian cow! Honestly, after watching this movie in blue-Ray format it was easy to tell that movies written and made today are absolute crap. This was the 1990 man! And what a plot, depth at every angle and not to mention Sharon Stone in spandex added bonus. I also messed up cause I thought I came out in the eighthies but, no 1990! DVD Review: Awful transfer of great film
Summary: 2 Stars
I am writing mainly for those considering purchasing this blu-ray edition of Total Recall. Don't ; save your money. It is the worst transfer I have seen so far. The picture is constantly grainy and ruins what is otherwise a fine film. It is just outrageous that they would market a film in blu-ray in such poor condition. That accounts for the two stars, which otherwise would have been at least four for the film itself. It still holds up very well after twenty years, is superbly paced with nonstop action, and great effects for its time. Unfortunately my laser disc version of this film is better quality than the blu-ray. This is totally unacceptable. DVD Review: Great hidef quality
Summary: 5 Stars
We all know the movie rocks. What about the BluRay quality?
This is an excellent, real hi-def movie (unlike the Terminator BluRay) with fantastic audio. I've saw the movie on the big screen, then on DVD. BluRay at home with a 5.1 sound system is the way to go. If you're a fan of Arrrnold, SciFi, Philip K. Dick (the movie is based on one of his books, We Can Remember It For You Wholesale) or action movies, then this disc is for you.
DVD Review: Discard
Summary: 1 Stars
Personally, I found that after watching "Total Recall" once on DVD, I could not watch it again. I am going to trade it in.DVD Review: Total Recall
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie displays new power when viewed in Blu-ray high definition format. I have seen this movie many times and wanted to add HD to my library of older movies. As with many futuristic movies the authors assume that the lower denomination of the human equation will go into space with the scientists and explorers. Although I hope this is not the case in reality. I hope that the people who venture to Mars are a bit more refined.
Description of Total Recall (Special Limited Edition)
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 ShannonThis science fiction blockbuster from 1990 began its production life as a very different movie than the one that was released.
