Total Recall (2012)

On Tuesday, August 14, 2012, I went to see the movie Total Recall.  This is the "remake" featuring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel and Bill Nighy.

This movie is about Douglas Quaid (played by Farrell), who's a factory worker.  He lives in The Colony, which is Australia after the global nuclear war, and he commutes to the UFB.  He goes to Rekall after work one night, to have some fun and get away with some fake memories.  However, something goes wrong and he becomes a super spy.

It turns out that Quaid is actually an agent by the name of Hauser.  And his wife is actually an agent as well who is keeping an eye on him.

This movie is very different than the Total Recall that had Arnold Swarzenagger and Sharon Stone in it.  There are certain elements that are found in both movies, but the actual movies itself are very different.  After all, both stories are just based on the short story by Philip K. Dick.

What happens in this movie?  You'll have to see it to find out.  A definitely worthwhile watch.  Lots of action scenes and they were very well done.
