Movie Reviews of Total Recall [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: An action favorite but poor transfer
Summary: 2 Stars
Total Recall had its controversy in its heyday. Known for its violent scenes and fast paced action sequences, it was a favorite movie of mine when it first entered the theater. It was an interesting blend of science fiction, action, and some suspense mixed in together. One left the movie with many questions that are still being pondered to this day. That said, the Blu Ray version is a bit of let down.
The film quality of the Blu Ray version is sub par at best, with artifacts and some noise. My Blu Ray player up scales dvd movies with better picture quality than this transfer. I ended up having to change my picture settings to get a less noisy picture. This version was a real downer since high definition should look better than high quality dvd transfers. While the $10 price tag (or around this price range) is attractive, if one has a previous DVD version then one should really wait for a better edition on Blu Ray.
On a side note:
This Blu Ray version of Total Recall really shows the need for accurate reviews of Blu Ray movies (instead of dvd versions). Not all Blu Rays have good picture and sound quality and some are outright poor in these two areas. I would advise anyone to check out reviews, especially those that detail the picture quality, of prospective Blu Ray movie purchases.
Movie Review: Great movie, Horrible Blu-Ray
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this Blu Ray as one of my first with my player. I turned it on and thought it was the cable or something was set up incorrectly. The brightness in some parts of the screen goes up an down with a white grain - The horse in the beginning looking like she is running in a rain storm. After spending 2 hours trying to fix the new player I tried a different Blu-Ray disc and was incredible.
We tested the HD DVD version of Total Recall and the conversion is like Terminator 2 from the UK that is flawless like a jaw dropping movie effects show where special care was given to the grain in addition to remaster to highlight the shows performance. I am very disappointed with the Blu Ray version. I hope they read this and will fix for future presses as people deserve more like the HD DVD version. This one deserves to be at the dollar store.
Movie 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.Movie Review: This Blu-ray should be Totally Recalled!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
As someone who honestly reads and appreciates the opinions of fellow Amazon buyers I have to WARN my fellow consumers. This is the worst transfer I have ever seen. Honestly there are artifacts and what appears to be interfearence(like when you run your vacuum, if your system is not grounded properly)all over the place. It is especially bad during the beginning when Arnold is with Sharon Stone but it is awful the full way through. I love this movie, but the transfer has got to be improved!!!Movie Review: Not worth it to be blu ray
Summary: 2 Stars
I recived this blu ray version of Total Recall from amazon. To be honest my opinion... it's not worth it to watch with blu ray or pay more than DVD. Graphic isn't change as DVD or DVD is maybe much better graphic I think.
I gave 2 stars because of the story I like but compare with bluray version vs DVD version review will be no star for blu ray.
If someone never watch this film maybe ok but if already saw it bunch of time before, it will waste money.
