Classics Remastered: Total Recall (1990)

Douglas Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a bored construction worker in the year 2084 who dreams of visiting the colonized Mars. He visits “Rekall,” a company that plants false memories into people's brains, in order to experience the thrill of Mars without having to travel there. But something goes wrong during the procedure; Quaid discovers that his entire life is actually a false memory and that the people who implanted it in his head now want him dead.

Critic Reviews:

• " From the outstandingly inventive prosthetics to the nonstop, volatile hullabaloo piled high with death and laugh-out-loud humor, the film is essential science-fiction viewing. " – Mike Massie

• " You get the action, the cheese, and some good sci-fi and practical effects. What's not to love? " – David Hogan

• " All told, Total Recall is a powerful brew of mordant humor, keen wit, refreshing originality and graphic violence. " – Dennis King
