Total Recall 2012

it could still be toss but it looks more like i imagined the original should have looked (showing my age now).

bought the original on blu-ray recently and it has really dated badly

Will watch when dvd comes out, loved that movie as a kid!

Colin farrel is a cool actor but he plays in a shitload of bad movies

Colin Firth Farrell? no way!

it will be toss.

original is still a classic. it might have dated badly but that's what gives it a certain charm all of its own.

they should just leave all these old films alone, ffs.

they're not doing anything to old films, they're still 5-10 clicks away from watching.

It's going to be shit.

The original is shit, but it's an iconic turd.

I'm surprised that watmm is interested in movies like this, or that avengers thing.

the original is wicked. but this will be shit. it will look fucking good, but it will be soooo pants.

just looking at that trailer the acting already looks terrible.

i will see it just for the sake of seeing it but these reboots are usually disappointing

have any of you seen Cypher?

This kind of movie is like an extended Outer Limits episode with a budget of probably 100's of millions of dollars. I would be happy to watch an old rerun of Andy Griffith but I am furiously excited for a movie like this. Remakes are cool. I will be so thrilled I might accidently put the popcorn right into my eye instead of my mouth and then have to walk out to go to the ER.

It's gotta have the triple titted lady in it. If they don't, it won't be a true remake.

"Considah eet a divoace" etc. etc.

Why is it in modern Hollywood movies the main actors have to have amazing bodies and cat walk model looks - particualrly the females? Top designer fashion, good looking and young, etc. Their makeup is perfect and and there is not an hair out of place on their heads - it is ridiculous and takes something away from the realness of what I am watching. I am unable to relate and submerse myself in the movie experience like I used to in the 70's and 80's because of this.

This movie is no expception and it looks like it fails on so many other levels. I will not be paying to watch it but I might download it for free and give it a chance. I know it's a remake but It just seems completely shallow and lacking in all ideas. Another re-entry in todays modern, materialistic, unimaginative and photoshopped society.

Hollywood movies have always been that way. Especially the ones with big budgets. The public at large wants to see beautiful, done up people getting into adventures and the studios want to continue to make money. It's as simple as that.

Blech, the design is so generic looking. Not that the original is any good.

i guess people who dislike the original are really into the pkd story the films are based on ? because i can't really think of a better action/comedy/cheesecore flick.

I watched the trailer for this... not bad. Hard to imagine this without Ahh-nuld, though.

the thing with remakes is to often redo a small film nobody knows if or a modern take on a really old film (or more recently try redo the damage done before like Spiderman or Judge Dredd) but Total Recall was the biggest film in its time with an unfolding plotline that everyone already knows so Im not sure what this film will bring other than newer special effects and a more Blade Runner style vision of the Philip K Dick concept

saying that my housemates girl recently said she'd never seen or heard of it before (it was made the year she was born) so there could be enough of a market of post Matrix yoofs to warrent the cash in

Im guessing a disposable mishmash of Minority Report and wannabe Blade Runner with some Underworld (same director) esque action sequences at best. I would also like a nice surprising twist to the plot but we'll have to wait and see.

Supposedly this film is going to be closer to the short story, which didn't have anything to do with Mars.

hehe, always cracks me up. :)

i don't know how i feel about this.

this. + Colin Firth being Colin Firth, as always. he just plays himself ALL the time. like Nic Cage. - Boring!

I guess you never saw Adaptation then?

What about Quato? No Quato, no deal.
