Total Recall (2012).
Off the bat I have to declare my confusion in regards to the affection in which the original is held.
I cringed watching it in the cinema back then and I do any time I get curious enough to revisit it.
Arnie made a career out of ripping off Roger Moore's one liners but when it's coupled with really nasty violence and misogyny (and some of the worst special effects in an expensive motion picture) it makes for uncomfortable viewing.
This remake isn't anywhere near as bad.
It fits into a group of films that have some really nice things in them but just don't work.
The robots are great and what the PT battledroids really should have been.
The general design has a nice 2000AD look about it (Stallone's Judge Dredd is also in the same class of having nice bits of kit but not working as a film).
It does look like Minority Report meets iRobot meets the opening scenes of Avatar and the Earth Scenes of Pandorum (being as they are pastiche's of Blade Runner).
It also feels pulled between homaging the original film, homaging other PK Dick adaptations and doing it's own thing.
Ultimately though it feels more like watching someone else play a contemporary computer game.
Like Prometheus there is a waste of confirmed talent.
The screwing up of London geography is rather hilarious too.
It would have worked better if there was a third layer of reality (something more like our world) so the really wacky ideas like the drop could fit into a more tangible acting performance which everyone is clearly capable of delivering.
Three boobs.
