Movie Reviews of Total Recall 2070
Movie Review: Total Recall 2
Summary: 4 Stars
What can you say about the Arnie movie Total Recall in 1990?
What a great movie, however you view that movie it gave you a distinct feeling for the movie that someone else that viewed the dream differently got out of the movie. For Ages my friend and I would banter which is the real ending to the Arnie Movie.
Sadly this movie kills the mystique of the first one and proves me wrong. Clearly taking place in the future of the first one It shows Mars and Mars (No terraformed Arnie ending)
This Movie is still great all on its own. If you never saw the first one, you would still greatly appreciate this one even if you didnt understand the whole Rekall subplot.
I like to think of this movie as a combination of Total Recall, CSI, Blade Runner and Issac Asimovs Caves of Steel.
If you are a fan of the Arnie movie or just a Sci-Fi geek like me then this is a sure bet. Maybe with more and more people buying this movie which is actually a pilot to a whole series then the company will finally release the series on DVD
Movie Review: Has anybody read Do androids dream of electric sheep?
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a cable effort made to make money. It was the first in a series on Showtime. The d----a---- powers that be pulled it before it had a chance to blossom. Of course, you can now catch the series on an independent station near you,making money for those da's. The writing is actually great. If one had read the book Total Recall/Blade Runner was based on or any other of Phillip K. Dick's works, one would Know that. I do Know the movie, Blade Runner, intimately, word for word, and find Arnold's Total Recall an exciting action oriented movie and Harrison's work impeccable. Rent this if you have the chance and Know that the actors and the writers cared about the substance of the story.This is a movie to see without the jaded FX, it is a human story.Movie Review: The Bladerunner TV series
Summary: 4 Stars
If you're expecting Total Recall 2070 to be a continuation of the Arnie film from 1990, then you'd be wrong, however, you won't be disappointed, it's BETTER!It's really the Bladerunner TV series. The same issues with androids, the same tops of buildings with large extractor fans turning slowly with steam bellowing from the ground.
What stops it from becoming the usual TV series based on a film is a compelling plot and the boldness to have nudity, violence and strong language.
Picture and sound quality are good although nothing special. The computer graphics of the city sometimes look a bit dodgy.
Really worth getting!
Movie Review: Originality a plus.
Summary: 4 Stars
It is so rare these days that you can find a sci-fi series or movie that is original and not a remake or ripoff of someone else's idea. Total Recall 2070 was a complete original. My only complaint is where is the rest of the series?Movie Review: MEMORY LAPSE
Summary: 3 Stars
I didn't know this was the first two episodes of a television series, but after watching it, I certainly can see that it was. The production values are okay, but I understand some of the footage of Mars was taken directly from the Schwarzenegger hit movie which spawned this series.Michael Easton, Nick Mancuso and Karl Pruner did commendable jobs in their roles, but the script was a little contrived and direction a little tepid for this kind of action film. Cynthia Preston is all but wasted in the typical wife who hates her husband's job and whose father was killed fifteen years earlier.
Not an unenjoyable movie, just flat.
