This remake is just like the 1990 movie, except there aren't any mutants and it isn't set on Mars.
Wait, what? So instead, we're on Earth and there's a lot of robots and some conspiracy going on. I zoned out a lot in the later half, but I still don't know what the cover-up was. It was much more clear in the original movie, in which Arnold gives one of his most sincere and emotional lines ever:
Come on, Cohaagen! You've got what you want. Give doz people ay-uh!They wanted to tax people for air, but in this one? Fuck if I know why anything was happening. All I know is that it was directed by Len Wiseman, which explains why Quaid's "wife" (Kate Beckinsale) is in a lot more of the movie.
Total Recall? I'll forget this whole mess by tomorrow.
