winter_elf: Sherlock Holmes (BBC) with orange soft focus (Blow Something Up)
Got a little behind on my movie reviews - so lets start up again :)

Total Recall

I enjoyed it - quite a bit.

The good: A good action flick, some pretty snazzy cgi, great distopic society and the best car chase I've seen in quite a while.

The bad: The original Arnold version had a deeper plot, fuzzy science (which I ignored, it's an action flick!), bladerunner rain (in that, hey, it's the future it's hell, it always rains in the slums!)

Let me just say - the art director/cgi lead - I love you. There is some really cool tech/future society/distopic living conditions. All the cgi/buildings/backgrounds was just amazing - all the stuff, the cool ideas, some darn cool tech, some wild elevators & freeways, the computer effects people were doing - awesome!

Worth seeing: Yes. Darn good action flick. I want to see it again for all the tech stuff/details.

I talk more in depth about plot type spoilers! )
