Arnie started the 90s with a bang with Total Recall- an awesome science fiction action film from Dutch Paul Verhoevan. Arnie plays a man who has his memory implanted with an adventure on Mars but soon he realizes that he may actually be on the planet and not just in his memories. Confused? Well, you should see this film to truly understand the plot. Although much like every Arnold vehicle this one has its fair share of action and explosion, there is also an underlying theme and deep meaning in there. Also, Sharon Stone looks stunning.

Paul Verhoeven and Arnold Schwarzenegger need to work with each other more cause they a match made in heaven when Total Recall the only movie by them is a classic sci-fi movie with incredible story when it combine hard-hitting action scene and a dose of bizarreness.The movie plot can described as Jason Bourne in Mars when Arnie played a normal citizen who always dream of Mars so he go to Rekall a company that can implant false memories about Mars into his brain and next thing he knew is strange people and people he knew all try to kill him while the urge to go to Mars gets stronger over time.It a total blast when I first saw it and still now after many years cause the action is merciless and the twists is too good that i think no one will dare to remake this movie much like Robocop another classic from Paul Verhoeven but apparently I'm still underestimated the money hunger machine that is Hollywood when both movie get remake in 2012 and 2014

A construction worker decides to get a virtual holiday. In this next future the film portrays the way to do it it's just to "implant" a remembering in your brain. You will remember that you have been on holiday, you'll feel that it's true but you have not the real experience, it's just a few neurons connected. "But, what it's always the same in all your holidays" the seller of the vacations ask to Quaid, the construction worker. He doesn't know but the smiling seller doesn't make him wait: "you, you're the same in all your travels". Quaid is offered to make his vacations really special. He's going to go to Mars, visit the planet, but not as a tourist but as a special agent who is going to fight against terrorist and save the planet from destruction.The plot is really interesting, it's not a specially complicated story, you don't get lost but there are twists enough to surprise you and make the ride a joyful one.Technology has changed the world, so much that even in so recent past as 27 years ago they didn't foreseen the miniaturization degree that communication devices could attain. You see into the movie a few screens with a depth box behind them, the ruler of Mars even get into the phone connected with a cable to the device on the wall.It's nice the hologram device able to replicate a person, and of course the costume-robot Quaid uses to enter into Mars.Excellent way to let a couple of hours go away, and even if you watched it a few years ago it's quite interesting to review it again, how fast time runs, you'll think.

This is sci-fi at it's finest. Great story, great acting and stunning visuals, especially for the time it was made. Arnold Schwarzenegger is brilliant in this movie, as are all the supporting actors. Awesome action, and has funny one-liners, this movie has it all. If you are a fan of sci-fi movies I highly recommend this cult classic.
