Man, they don't make 'em like this anymore. Total Recall is so good at being so damn entertaining. From the perfect casting, fast-moving plot with plenty of reveals and twists, to the squib-heavy action and (relatively) great physical effects; Verhoeven knows how to deliver the goods. And as a bonus, the density of quality Arnie screams is INSANE. Those vacuum-expanding eyeball-poppin' faces messed me up as a kid and will always be slightly unnerving to me.

Injects you with the vicarious dream of revolution and literally breaks every fourth wall like the kool-aid man. Recall is controlled escapism until Quaid actively responds. Looking back I think this is where every Arnie impression turned into "AUGHAUH" nonsense, he's constantly screaming - it's even his opening line. But dammit, no actor of that archetype gives you THE PAIN of the big man like Arnie does. Also Sharon Stone is a babe. Michael Ironside looks like he evolved from velociraptors.

Big budget $inema these days is only too eager to throw out some cynical, confused, pseudo-radical premise with no genuine political conviction to show for it. It's practically universal. But in Verhoeven we have basically an utter unicorn, and a true cinema warrior against neoliberalism/fascism. He's the real fucking deal. God bless Paul Verhoeven.

One of those rare movies that manages to look cheap and expensive at the same time, this 90s film acts as one of the pinnacles of 80s action movies. This film reaches the heights (and depths) of what a Verhoeven and Schwarzenegger team up should achieve. A completely OTT sci fi action fare that also has a deeper underlying plot. This one has stood the test of time well.

a wish fulfilment fantasy within a wish-fulfilment fantasy, one which somehow improves the more its effects and acting become dated because it enhances a crucial sense of artifice. it's one of the great hollywood satires, bursting with character and expert genre thrills but never quite allowing you to forget that the real protagonist is you.

What a fucking ride this one is. It's a bit hard to take seriously, but there are few movies that are as balls-to-the-wall entertaining as this one is, and the plot is actually very interesting, mysterious and thought-provoking, especially given the nature of the movie. It's quite a mindfuck. Can't believe it took me so long to see this.

A long overdue watch and rate. Perfect pacing, fun action, smart story (thank you Philip K Dick once again), great one liners, buff dudes, sexy ladies (especially the midget), awesome practical effects and makeup for the mutants, solid villains, and a truly beautiful matte painting of Mars to end the film. Legit classic. Seriously though, I know midget is not cool anymore, but it feels way creepier to say 'that little person is sexy' over 'that midget is sexy'. RIP Debbie Carrington Miss ya babe

Just rewatched for the first time in probably almost twenty years. It will always stand behind Starship Troopers and Robocop for me, but that doesn't mean there isn't something wonderfully nutzoid about this blend of Verhoevenian body horror/gore, twisty thoughtful science fiction, austere otherworld majesty and good old Arnold shoot 'em up action and one-liners.

Great to see that they managed to sneak some of Dick*s more complicated ideas into a giant summer blockbuster. Verhoeven has never been one to shy away from graphical violence and the movie sports some rather nasty face inflating scenes, plus a couple of disgusting looking mutants. This is a good thing. Overall, however, the film does look dated and incredibly ugly, but all is forgiven when Arnold fires up his Austrian accent: "IF et iz my delusjon, hoo de hell invited ju?" Kuato Lives!

The brilliance of Total Recall lies in how either reading of the film is thematically resonant: It's either about how a manufactured personality morally outperforms the privatizing, corporatized political status quo within moments of its creation or (my preferred reading) how modern entertainment is nostalgia peddling, wish fulfillment and self-lobotomy, which we willingly, gladly, and unskeptically consume. The hyperstylized artifice of the art design enhances either reading.

I waited way too long to watch Total Recall in its entirety, but luckily I somehow managed to avoid any spoilers for all these years. Verhoeven is a master of excess, that much is obvious, but what really surprised me is how good the script is. Talk about pacing! This thing moves like lightning and knows exactly what it is. A perfect grasp of tone and expedient delivery of complex exposition. I am now pretty sure that the cab driver in Halloweentown was named Benny as a reference to this movie.

A healthy mix of smart and dumb blockbuster filmmaking and storytelling. The initial concept is fascinating and this film manages to keep up interest with a busy plotline that never loses steam and often introduces fun and wacky futuristic elements. There's a lot keeping this momentum going such as the writing, not just because of the handfuls of cheesy, but brilliant one-liners.

A more than capable sci-fi action film, Total Recall has all of the wit, humor, and a slight satirist tone that marked Verhoeven in his heyday. The boilerplate story moves along at a brisk pace and never feels slow or uninteresting. I just wish Schwarzenegger brought more to his role, which is a phrase I've probably typed many times.

Here, Paul Verhoeven is less concerned with making a satire than he was with Robocop, and the result is a violent, excessive thrillride through a slew of beautifully grey futuristic environments. The film makes one of the best uses of Schwarzenegger's talents that I've seen; where the Terminator movies mostly exploit him for his size, Total Recall realizes that he's an actual human being in a way that's actually kinda touching when you look past the hyperviolence and mutant creatures.

Entertaining classic 90's sci-fi film with a lot of classic moments. A lot of this film is very over-the-top, it suits the film perfectly. Arnold Schwarzenegger is great in his role with that accent.

Another PSI anomaly. I always thought this was one of the funnest Arnie films, but my respect for it really increased after I became more familiar with Philip K. Dick's work. This is one of the few movie adaptations of his writings that seems to capture some of the spirit of the source material (regardless the Verhoevenian goofiness). Also owes a lot to "Brazil". Arnie's performance is pretty awful, but this is still one of his better movies, and probably Verhoeven's best as well.

Satiric tone, subtle, nasty humour and creepy special effects made this movie age well, as a young sci-fi classic. Sometimes, I guess, it's too much of a movie, but this is a feature by Paul Verhoeven, you cannot expect something different. And it's still pretty enjoyable.

Back when I breezed through as many films as I could and gave them scores I simply gave this a 60, brushed it off as "pretty ridiculous" and moved on. Since then, and thanks to a more recent rewatch, I have come to repent my sins. This movie isn't bad, for a start Philip K. Dick is involved and when it comes to sci-fi pretenses he makes good ones. Then there's Verhoeven who adds the glitz and visual delights, while staying true to the premise. And Arnie gives one of his best performances.

This is cheesy, often poorly acted, and often stupidly plotted. The fight scenes suck and the special effects are so so. But what the hell... it's still a classic.

Of course Arnie is rubbish, and some of the effects are ageing a touch, but this hardly matters. 'Total Recall' remains one of my favourite sci-fi films ever, simply because it's fun and original.

"Don't fuck with your brain, pal. It ain't worth it." Indeed. This is yet another reminder - there are lots from the late 1970s through to the early 1990s - that practical effects can impact the viewer in a way that CGI never will. It has been sad to witness practical effects usurped by CGI over the past 25 years or so. My gripe is not with CGI per se, but the indiscriminate use of it.

The underlying concept is brilliant (thanks to PKD), while the movie is mindlessly violent (thanks to Verhoeven). It's certainly a unique trip watching those two dissonant styles play out, especially facilitated by the one-and-only Ahnold. In fact, your enjoyment factor pretty much depends on how you feel about his incessant one-liners, which I personally find much less enjoyable without the excuse of being an inhuman robot.

A substandard yet imprudently inane and frivolous 90s sci-fi marvel which is decent to see under normal circumstances and fortunes. But, on a more perceptive and judicious view, it hasn't aged properly and the effects today evoke a bad impression and suspicious conviction on the film. Other than that, I would suggest hiding your brain in a secure and immune box heavily guarded and enjoy the movie. Persistently remorseless and uncompromising madness is correctly connected with sheer frolic.

Overrated. Although I'm prepared to accept that the 90's effects are bound to have aged badly and that Schwarzenegger can't act, this isn't nearly as good as most critics would suggest and the film has numerous flaws. Typically for Verhoeven there are a large amount of enjoyable action sequences thrown in with the bad, but they are so drawn out that most of the fun is sucked from them. The plotline isn't all that gripping either, just simply moving on from one scene of destruction to the next.

Really stupid. I never knew your eyes could go back into your eye sockets as if they'd never been sucked out in the first place. A good concept ineptly done.

Verhoeven directed two totally bad ass sci-fi action films during his career. This one had Arnie in it, which may make it better or worse depending on how big of an Arnie guy you are. Sharp and entertaining.

A silly but fairly entertaining exposé of the industrialisation of memory and desire. Terrible soundtrack.

Good film, but a little sub standard for Schwarzenegger. This is actually a book by Piers Anthiny. The book is superior and is highly recommended.

Clever, funny, exciting sf/adventure movie. Overdoes it on the gore, but Verhoeven makes up for it with all the weird touches not generally seen in movies with a budget this big

Fun, and the plot is interesting (of course it is; Philip K. Dick thought it up). It's a bit too hokey to quite take it seriously, though.

Sweepinh through the top grated reviews it feels like it has such a high rating because it reminds people of what they watched in their youth.This movie consists of lots of shooting, Arnold screaming and growling. Really lame acting by most of the crew. Overall, it's a funny flick (probably not intended to be one) with some good script and lots of twists.

Could 80s/90s Hollywood action scene be more primed for a Phillip K Dick x Schwarzenegger x Stonex Verhoeven crossover? No, it couldn't, and this film is a landmark piece because of that. The fact these things combined at this time seems in hindisight a bit of a miracle.

Greatly entertaining sci-fi action with great "whiz-bang" futuristic effects. The memory plotline from Philip K. Dick is excellent and elevates the film to something wonderful. Schwarzenegger doesn't add anything to the role.

This is just such a good sci-fi movie. I know I've seen it in the past but couldn't remember anything about it, so was really just going into it watching it blind and it surprised me. While it's cheesy and funny at times watching it now, it's got a really solid plot and some interesting world-building happening here. It doesn't feel as long a movie as it is, because it moves at a good pace and doesn't have any boring slumps at all. Amaxing special FX for it's time and some nice set design.

Well made for its time and a good movie in a lot of ways but found myself pretty bored throughout. Could have went much further into mind bending territory over mindless action. Rachel Ticotin can't hold a candle to Sharon Stone as the love interest. Arnold and Stone just had much more chemistry. Overall, pretty forgettable.
