Film Review- Total Recall

2:11 PM / Posted by Ethan /


I remember seeing this film on TBS or something when I was younger and just thinking, "This is the weirdest, most nonsensical film ever." After watching it last night, I followed plot much better, but I wonder if that was the intention of the film. This action-adventure mixed with science fiction comes off almost as a David Lynch-esque mainstream attempt; almost as if they wanted to confuse the viewer with all of the mix-ups over 'memory implants' and who Schwarzenegger really is, but at the same time not so much that people couldn't follow or that the film wouldn't flop. (It didn't.) Overall, a lot of really cool special effects and violence make the film enjoyable to watch.
