Review of Total Recall (1990) by [Anonymous] — 26 Aug 2005
The plot and concept are brilliant. I could almost say that this was a proto-Matrix. The political themes also seem a bit relevant in today's context, and may forshadow future issues in space colonization, and maybe colonization altogether.
Action's nice. Sadly, some effects, once oscar winning, haven't held up over time. If today's FX were available back then, and the disturbing, bio-freaky parts kept to a minimum, this film would be damn near perfect, and it would get a nine.
It's a miracle that T2, Arnold's peak, still looks awesome today, FX and all.
