Pros: One of Schwarzenegger's best films.
Cons: It's gory.....
Total Recall, Paul Verhoeven's fascinating (if sometimes very violent) 1990 science fiction/thriller examined the boundaries between reality and illusion. It also established Arnold Schwarzenegger as a true force in the action adventure genre, proving ...

Pros: GREAT action film, Arnold Schwarzenegger, 3 boobed woman.
Cons: some action was edited out. Thanks Ratings committee!
TOTAL RECALL, Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1990 film where he travels to Mars, and saves the day, is certainly one of his best films, and one of the best action/sci-fi films of all time.
According to reports when this film came out, the...

Pros: Arnold Schwarzenegger, great special effects
Cons: None
Total Recall (1990)
This movie is a masterpiece of science fiction. If you suspend your disbelief, you will be in for an action lover's treat.
Director Paul Verhoeven apparently did what few others could: get Arnold...

Pros: Visionary production design. Interesting dream/reality concepts.
Cons: Schwarzenegger has the acting abilities of a gouda cheese.
Things continue to race along for preproduction on my new kabuki musical epic, Bridget Over Troubled Waters, the all singing, all dancing version of The Last Seduction that I hope to have ready for the Pantages Theater here in Los Angeles...

Pros: Amazing action film
Cons: Verhoeven created an amazingly perverse film.
I love director Paul Verhoeven. Verhoeven is the most obscene director working in the US today. His films are the most gratuitous works in mainstream Hollywood. Paul Verhoeven, director of such dirty masterpieces as Basic Instinct,...

by DavidK93 - Top 1000, May 08 '01
Pros: Special effects, Was worthy of being shamelessly copied years later
Cons: Plot, Characters
Total Recall is a reasonably good movie. It combines elements of action, suspense, and science fiction quite well, but it requires an exceptional suspension of disbelief.
This paragraph contains no spoilers, but you still might want to...

Pros: Mystery-thriller-science fiction blend. Some good special effects.
Cons: Too much Schwarzenegger, gratuitous everything.
It is the year 2084, and construction worker Douglas Quaid keeps dreaming of having visited the Mars colony. He goes to a company called Rekall, Inc., that implants artificial memories, thus creating an internal virtual vacation. But, something goes ...

Pros: Sharon stone, well put together story
Cons: was abit short !
One of Arnold Schwarzenegger's (less I have to spell that the better!!) early renditions still packs a punch even in today's filming industry. Double identities, mind assassination, chases, Mars, Aliens this film has it all! Douglas Quaid, Houser who ...

by BrianKoller - Top 50, Oct 05 '02
Pros: action, cast, humor, direction
Cons: implausible plot turns, silly ending, Melina
In three of his best known films, RoboCop, Total Recall, and Starship Troopers, Danish director Paul Verhoeven combined futuristic science-fiction action with plenty of gore and abundant moments of black comedy. There's even a hint...

Pros: Tons of action, some parts are funny
Cons: No such things as cons when Ah-nuld is the star
Ah, Total Recall. I saw this movie way back when I was in 6th grade. Now that I think of it, I was only about 12 then, and I watched this movie. God, my parents ruled. :)
I loved the movie. Actually it was my dad who first told me about the...

Pros: Great mind bending story
Cons: Some of the acting is kind of bad
Total Recal is the story of Douglas Quaid (Arnold Swartzenegger), living sometime in the future (I believe it was 2084, when I would be about 104 years old). Quaid seems to have it all: a good job in construction, a nice house, and a lovely wife, Lori...

Pros: Survives overanalyis by a disgruntled critic such as myself.
Cons: Bad acting, cheesy lines.
Ah, the joy of the retrospective. You chose a video, you check it out of the library, and you sit back, relax, and watch it experiencing the mindless glee of the normal viewer. For once, you are able to relax and have brainless fun just like anyone...

Pros: Complex, ends well with a slightly fruity aroma.
Cons: Slightly bitter aftertaste.
I think I'm me. Are you you? Do I know you? Do you know me?
I must have had a lapse in memory. I am me. I don't know who the hell you are. By the way, this seems a good time to say thanks for reading. You may continue reading my...

Pros: Non-stop Sci-Fi action and thrills, plus plenty of comedy to keep it fun.
Cons: Sci-Fi fans only please.
Some of the best elements of sci-fi are used here to perfection. We have a futuristic setting with significant but plausible changes over today's society. We have a device, memory implants, that allow for drama and twists not otherwise possible. We have...
