Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
This science fiction blockbuster from 1990 began its production life as a very different movie than the one that was released. An adaptation of the Philip K. Dick short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale," Total Recall was originally conceived of with Richard Dreyfuss starring as a Walter Mitty-like character who experiences a variety of artificially induced fantasies. The movie we know is a mega-budget action epic set on Mars. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a normal working man who discovers that his entire reality has been invented to conceal a plot of planetary domination. Oscar-winning special effects and violent action propel the twisting plot, in which Arnold manipulates his manipulators in a world of dazzling high technology. Director Paul Verhoeven (Robocop) indulges his usual penchant for gratuitous bloodshed, but the movie has enough cleverness to rise above its excesses. --Jeff Shannon

I purchased this Blu Ray as one of my first with my player. I turned it on and thought it was the cable or something was set up incorrectly. The brightness in some parts of the screen goes up an down with a white grain - The horse in the beginning looking like she is running in a rain storm. After spending 2 hours trying to fix the new player I tried a different Blu-Ray disc and was incredible.
We tested the HD DVD version of Total Recall and the conversion is like Terminator 2 from ... Read More

Ok, it's my own fault for not carefully looking into this new Blu Ray thing. I bought Total Recall, one of the best Craptastic Sci-fi movies ever made hoping for some delusional reason that it would look incredible on Blu Ray. It's crap crap crap crap crap on Blu Ray and looks EXACTLY the same on DVD. Try it! Play your DVD copy and then play the Blu Ray. Hmmm, looks the same. Recent films look incredible on Blu rRay but this one looks just awful in comparison. I fell for it. Buyers beware....that's ... Read More

This was one of my favorite movies when I was younger. I bought the DVD when it came out, and recently did the same with the Blu-ray version. I expected the Blu-ray version would have a better transfer, but I was wrong. It's better than the DVD, but not by far. From now on, i'll be renting Blu-rays before deciding to buy them as there haven't been any kind of quality standards set on this overpriced media.

This movie looks horrible. If I had never seen a high definition movie and this was my first experience, I would never even think of investing in a blu-ray player. My opinion would be what's the use it looks just like regular dvd.

I wish Amazon would add sub scales for PQ, AQ, overall movie and other criteria, so that, with the advent of Blu-Ray, technical as well as cinematic aspects would be rated separately. What if you love a film, but hate the transfer?
I had never seen all of Total Recall, and as a fan of older Sci-Fi and action films, I thought the effects were fun and advanced for the time period. Despite Arnold's mediocre acting skills, I am still a fan of his films, because they're so "over the top" and ... Read More
