Tom Huddleston
'Total Recall' is Hollywood at its worst: pointless, witless, and so very unnecessary.
Rafer Guzman
"Total Recall" is a toned-down, smoothed-out version of an amped-up, bug-eyed classic.
Dana Stevens
This is a taut, serviceable sci-fi thriller with a couple of neat visual ideas, and if you're not familiar with either the Schwarzenegger version or the original story, the brain-bending twists...
Richard Roeper
Casting and visuals are an upgrade, but we get far too many action sequences and not enough of the mind games.
Christopher Orr
I was no particular fan of the first Total Recall, but I confess that this flat, by-the-numbers remake made me a tad nostalgic for its bombastic preposterousness.
Lisa Kennedy
Whatever tug Total Recall has on the imagination comes from the vague sense we've seen it all before. And seen it better: from Christopher Nolan's Inception to Ridley Scott's Blade Runner.

User reviews

Average action flick This was a good homage to the original, but I'd have rather them just stick to the original basic story than change it all around...I think Phillip K. Dick is rolling on his grave with the changes to his story.... Ok rant about that aside it's a decent action flick with a lot of cool CGI and SFX.. if you like futuristic action flicks check it out you'll be entertained for 2 hours...

Total Recall
Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), even though he's got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life - real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man. Finding himself on the run from the police -- controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston), the leader of the free world -- Quaid teams up with a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) to find the head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy) and stop Cohaagen.

Elysium
In the year 2159, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) will stop at nothing to preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium -- but that doesn't stop the people of Earth from trying to get in by any means they can. Max (Matt Damon) agrees to take on a life-threatening mission, one that could bring equality to these polarized worlds.

Premium Rush
Dodging speeding cars, crazed cabbies and eight million cranky pedestrians is all in a day's work for Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), the best of New York's agile and aggressive bicycle messengers. It takes a special breed to ride the fixie - super lightweight, single-gear bikes with no brakes and riders who are equal part skilled cyclists and nutcases who risk becoming a smear on the pavement every time they head into traffic. But a guy who's used to putting his life on the line is about to get more than even he is used to when his last envelope of the day - a routine "premium rush" run - turns into a life-or-death chase through the streets of Manhattan. Also starring Michael Shannon, Dania Ramirez and Jamie Chung. 2012 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
