Brilliant and touching

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's kind of ironic. This is easily one of Schwarzenegger's best films, yet I think it would've been much better with a more nuanced actor. Not that it matters much. Verhoeven is so deft with mixing excessive excess in the sci-fi (fantastic effects, violent shootouts, hilarious colors) with high-concept philosophy (manipulation, government overreach).

I wasn't expecting much from an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie but this was actually pretty good. I'm not really into action movies but this has plenty of fights and shoot outs, if that's your thing. There are a few good jokes. My favorite is that the midget hooker is named Thumbelina. That's comedy gold. The special effects aren't the best, it's easy to see that they are in front of a green screen, but it doesn't really hurt the movie. I'm sure the reboot has much better effects, I will have to check it out.

One of the best movie i ever saw. Great plot, great cast ,entertaining, punch lines, twists, and endless action. I'm watching this film on my iPad almost every night. For a deep sweet sleep... personally I prefer the implant chair dream perception because all the violence thereafter seemed not a real one... Arnold Sharon Melina Ronnie Michael and Benny are unforgettable TOTAL RECALL FOREVER

Acting: 10/10: Arnie, Sharon Stone and Michael Ironside, all in one movie!Plot: 10/10: Excellent quest for discovery of past secrets. The protagonist doesn't know why he's being hunted and as the movie advances we discover the complexity of the world he lives in and his past. There are many plot twists and they're all plausible. It's just so much more complex and better than contemporary movies. I watched it when I was pretty young and loved it, and after a few years I watched it again and found out many things I didn't understand or didn't notice, so I enjoyed it even more.Action: 10/10: Gunfights, chases, fist-fights, Arnie.This movie is so much better than the remake on all parameters, except maybe the special effects. I'd love to see a sequel with comparably good plot.
