The part about them referring to Australia as "The Colony" is somewhat amusing if you're familiar with the country's history as a penal colony. It's not a laugh riot by any means, but worthy of a small smirk.
Winter Steele The whole movie strongly implies a return to good ole Britannia and her Empire, and that The Empire is evil, oppressing the poor, backward colonists
Something that really bothered me about this movie that you didn't mention is that, just like the original, the big climax is an attempt to save the innocent civilians from being killed by the bad guys, except the original actually gave us some time with Quaid interacting with the civilians and giving us a chance to get to know them. That way, we're emotionally invested in whether they live or not.. With the remake, we don't care about the bystanders in Australia who the bad guys are about to kill -- they're just a bunch of people we've never seen before.
Of course the special effects for the original Total Recall were great. The guy who did the effects was Rob Botin, who did the effects for John Carpenter's The Thing. As soon as I saw that in the credits, I thought "Oh yes, this movie's gonna look awesome!"
I like colin farel but he is miscasted as the big tough action hero. He is obviously physically fit but looks more like a normal person. If they went for the angle he is a normal man in over his head it would seperate the remake from the orginal.
The closest anyone has come to Dick's story is a Mamaduke cartoon I saw in print years ago. Marmaduke is asleep in his doghouse when a tiny spaceship lands. The tiny aliens get his paw print on a peace treaty and fly away. The confused dog goes back to sleep.
As Film Brain joked in his review “See British Imperialists, just wait a few years and we can get back our old colonies” Seriously don’t know what to make of that plot point.
@@billybarnett9518 If they understood Philip K. Dicks works and how he generally has his leads as an "Everyman" where we can see ourselves as that person.. Thrust into a situation beyond our comprehension... It could have worked! But Hollywood thinks that Action Movies need to be PURE ACTION... Dick wrote Characters... And that's what's lacking, Character! They wanted to be different but also the same as the OG film... So forgot that the depth is what matters... And Colin Farrell can play Depth! It was teh same with the BS Daredevil Movie... Colin Farrell should have been Brilliant As Bullseye... Heck, He was... But that was OVERLY CAMP and we didn't see enough of Bullseye to make it worth it! I woudl love to see a Serious Bullseye with Colin Farrell in lead... As I do believe he can do it! It is always teh scripts letting him down and he just seems to take what he can get... A Real shame as he is actually a bloody good actor... I dont think he does himself any favours by just taking whatever project pays well!
The Colony actually does work as a name because Australia was literally just that back in the day. Plus it invokes the allegory they're going for better: a place for the refuse of society according to the rich.
This movie is one of my guilty pleasures, I love it. I love the idea of living space being the move valuable resource on the planet at the moment, and having to get creative w/ building upwards and out, using the high powered magnets to double the highways, the glowing tattoos, and the hand phone! that you can throw up onto any glass surface? W/ the way they're making phone smaller and smaller but w/ more convenient features, I feel like this is a possible thing in a century or so. I tell myself that they could basically take apart the rest of the world to build it all since everywhere else is empty and uninhabitable. I feel like this movie's biggest flaw is calling itself a remake of Total Recall, they could've made a few little tweaks here and there and called it something else, then it wouldn't have been compared to it's superior predecessor.
i love this movie too. its a novel idea of a future city and alot of really neat looking details that could exist in a different world that they took time to put in.
To get from Australia to Brittan in 17 minutes you'd have to average 28,000 miles per hour. There's also the impossibility of traveling through the eath's core with extreme pressures and temperatures.
The fall is actually theoretically possible. Assuming that you can survive the core and assuming you can force it away from the core (otherwise ud be stuck there, so powerful rockets or something) youd keep falling towards the surface on the other side of the planet until you came out the hole, as long as someone catches you your good, otherwise youd fall back straight down the hole and out the other side hoping for someone to catch you. Which the movie actually does show. Suprisingly. Neil degrasse tyson made a video about it i think through cosmos.
6:23 - 6:32 That made me laugh so hard I had to pause the video to get over my sheer laughing fit. Come on Filmmakers, that makes absolutely no sense! The earth isn't like a giant apple that you can just drill a hole through, there's multiple levels of rotating flows of molten rock that wouldn't consistently remain open long enough to set up some kind of intraplanetary (intra- as in on the same planet) train line, and how hot it is (the outer core being the same temperature as the surface of the sun), goes without saying (you could not insulate the walls against heat like that). How do these hollywood writers constantly continue to get jobs when it's pretty clear that they all failed their fourth-grade science classes? And lastly, if it didn't work as a plot element in "The Phantom Menace", it's most certainly not going to work here.
No mention of how he managed to carry an unconscious Melina all the way from where he crashed his car to his old apartment covered in blood through busy streets without anyone noticing.
There was one thing that really struck me as weird (not bad, just weird) in the 1990 version. The big fight with his wife goes on for quite a while and they almost kill one another. Then,exhausted, they finally stop and just sit down and converse. I didn't know what to make of it
Cinematic Excrement Great review. Looking forward to the next. I hope, judging by your clue, that it's Jupiter Ascending. I enjoyed that movie for its over-the-top anime insanity, but it's definitely not good. Also, please consider reviewing the Conan remake in the future. I've been wanting you to tackle it since your Conan the Destroyer review.
I'm definitely the minority on this, but I liked this movie. I think the handphone is not only plausible but possible in the future, with the way we're glued to our phones, the fact that they keep getting smaller or skinnier or somehow more convenient for the hand to hold, eventually, it'll be easier to just implant a phone into one's hand. And being able to project onto any glass surface? Makes sense if we're talking convenience, you can find a pane of glass almost anywhere, and we can already cast from our phones to tv screens, and the purpose would serve the same as Facetime, Skype, etc. do now. I also like the idea of building upwards since living space is the most valuable commodity in that universe, when you can't expand outward the only other direction to go is up. They use high-powered magnets in everyday objects like cars so it's feasible to think they use it to hold up their buildings like there highways. They can scavenge the world for supplies as long as they have enough oxygen, that's how I imagine they got the supplies to build The Fall and stuff. Lastly, and in retrospect, I look at the magnetic cars driving under the highway as like the sleeping pods on Passengers, they've never failed before and so are assumed to never fail at all. I mean really, it would take someone pretty stupid, desperate, or suicidal to test the theory of the magnets failure.
Am I the only one who has the suspicion that this movie didn't start out as a remake of Total Recall in the first place? But because marketing, they shoehorned in elements from Total Recall at some point after production started.
***** A few years back. But don't even bother watching it. Trust me, it's just so boring and forgettable that it makes Conan the Destroyer look good. At least that movie can be remembered for how stupid and silly it was.
Everyone laughed when the colony came up on screen at the cinema (I live in Australia). Then I had a sinking feeling. That this movie wasn't going to be as good.
I can imagine Jessica Biel having a meeting with a movie executive who's a bit like both Alan Partridge and Tony Hayers, and he's telling her, "You have a proven track record for starring in mostly bad films."
The wikipedia entry on the original novella says that for the 1990 movie, they secured the rights to the source material from Philip K Dick, and it was loosely based on it, while the 2012 remake was based solely on the 1990 movie and didn't even credit Dick. My opinion is that it was based on the 1990 original, made by someone who didn't even understand that movie.
15:20-an interactive hologram of someone who'll only tell you the answers to the questions you ask if they're the right questions? That's a ripoff of I, Robot (at least the movie, I don't know if the hologram device is in the book).
was it normal glass though? if i remember, didn't he press his hand to a billboard who were already showing holographic images? i just though that the glass was a screen that read the palm and showed the video feed.
You know, Smeghead, I really don't get how come Hollywood hasn't snatched you there yet: Everything bad about these movies - you guys made them interesting.(hope I didn't say it wrong) P.S. Never saw Total Recall in full length, and now I'm really glad I no longer have to! Thanks a lot!
About climbing outside "the Fall": The travel time is 17 minutes (1020 seconds) Travel distance: 12742 km/7917 miles (theoretical assumption) That gives them a speed of 12490 m/s (~45000 kph/28000 mph)!

Nah
A phone implanted in your hand sounds exactly like where wearables will eventually end up, the glass is a. probably not random and b. done for the audience. Also, why are we questioning tech in a sci-fi movie?
I don't know, this was one of the most retarded reviews I've seen, I haven't seen this channel before but I don't wanna see it again next time, what's up with this smegm guy or whatever his name was? he acts like he's trying to play some hybrid version of Arnold Schwarzenegger mixed with the joker, and he just makes me wanna scream at the screen like, what does this mean what does that mean and me being like, it's clearly this or it's clearly that or, do you have common sci-fi scene? this is more tiring and iritating then even decently funny
The events of the original movie are not a fantasy in Quaid head because their are scene where he is not present. However from Quaid's point of view it's not really clear as to whether the events of the movie are real since from his point of view everything that has happened to him could be a hallucination.
Imagine if the remake went more into the psychological side of how the "not knowing what is real and what isn't" confliction messes with the main character. Add a layer where regardless of what is the truth, he now has more respect and appreciation for that traditional lifestyle, showcasing that he has made peace with his mid-life crisis.
Actually, the implant phone could be invisible until activated. Use a subdermal film of graphene a few molecules thick as a substrate. Add metalic layers so the upper and lower surfaces act as a thermocouple, generating power from the differential between your body heat and the outside air. Electronic components, light emitting elements, even an antenna can be created by modifying and doping the graphene sheet. The result is a flexible phone that is invisible and can't be felt by the person it's implanted in.
I also hate how the movie flaunts her in your face because she's married to the director Len Wiseman, which doesn't seem to look like an accident, though they divorced 7 years after the movie came out.
18:57 I watched this video to see if you missed it. You did. After an hour runtime of chasing and searching, she tells Quaid she can bring him to see the head honcho. And like skipping through the nearest door, there they are!
The stamp on the arm does raise a new question, why didn't his "friend" trying to talk him down tell him to check his arm to see if the stamp was there or not? In the original the ambiguity was there, not to mention that scene was much more intense. It wasn't bad but a lot of it didn't feel a bold as the other film was, also that woman who effectively takes on Michael ironside's role was doing almost everything and was nearly everywhere, she is literally a movie example of a mary sue.
Well, Kate Benkinsale (i don't know how to spell it) is married to the director. so maybe the latter went with Paul WS Anderson's logic of "Look how awesome my wife is" that limits Milia Jonovich's career prospect more than anything.
According to universetoday.com, the average diameter of Earth is 7,926 miles. The movie says that The Fall travels this distance in 17 minutes. Using the formula that I’m sure we all remember from high school, distance = rate x time, we see that The Fall travels at a speed of 466.24 miles per minute or 27,974.4 miles per hour.
Hey Shaun. As you probably know I've spent the longest time begging you to review Doogal. This has most likely pissed you off. Because of this, I would like to apologise for that and say that you don't have to review Doogal; I doubt you would have if I continued nagging about it. So again, I'm sorry for all of that. P.S. Are you ever going to review Gigli? I only say that because you said that you would at some point in your review of The Cat in the Hat. I'm not going to be nagging you to review that, but I just think it's strange that you've never reviewed it when you said you would one day.
The "I give good wife" bit kinda makes sense when you consider the guy who made the film was her husband at the time, I think this movie was a way for him to show off his hot wife, she's supposed to be the secondary antagonist I thought, yet she's in it more and lasts longer than Cranston, who I thought was the Big Bad
The point of the genocide plotline is to point out how people in less developed countries are often seen as expendable. Again, see the Britain/Australia relationship. The movie's point is all the problems in its world arise from people thinking of themselves and not considering the consequences.
Well the old one is pretty obvious it all went down in his head too. The straps they use at recall on his arms are like Velcro, but when quade wakes up he rips a metal restraint off the chair. Also “blue skies on mars that’s a new one”
I saw an interview with the director and he took I think it was his mother to see the movie and she complained about the lens flare and he said he realised he'd gone overboard
Whats really funny is that in the latin vercion of this movie the title was "the mars avenger" /"el vengador de marte" soo the remake was the marsless, Mars avenger...
why do people who make "Scifi" Revolvers usually go for the lowered barrel style but forget to lower the hammer or cover it up? only things from memory that do it right are Togusa's Mateba and Vash's revolver.
I remember hearing that Bill Nighy was in the movie and getting all excited that Bill Nye was in the movie, since I had never heard of Bill Nighy. Imagine the disappointment!
I think what would have made the ending much better is that Quaid takes off the sticker and is return to reality. He wakes up at the Total Recall facility only to find the staff is preoccupied with the breaking news feed. It's an announcement from Cohagen that he is going to begin colonizing Mars to ease the pressure of the overpopulation. It would be a true to the book homage to the original storyline and to the original storyline from the 1990 version
Also also, many systems, like monorails, only work safely if the safeties aren't disengaged. In a world where an elevator through the earth's core works, hovercars should actually be easy to keep safe.
The Fall is kind of theoretically possible. It's a thought experiment discussed in college freshman physics textbooks. It's pretty much the only part of this movie that's even vaguely interesting. However the transit time is a best 42 minutes not 17 minutes.
With "theoretically possible" do you mean the capsule would come out on the other side of the earth or do you mean that it would actually be possible to drill a tunnel through the molten core?
+Schwarzer Ritter drilling through mantle and outer core would not be possible and they are not solid. The Fall would require the Earth to ba solid sphere.

Replacing Schwarzenegger with Colin Farrell is like replacing Tom Hanks with Adam Sandler.
Oooooh that's gonna sting
Arnold lover!
I like colin farel but he is miscasted as the big tough action hero. He is obviously physically fit but looks more like a normal person. If they went for the angle he is a normal man in over his head it would seperate the remake from the orginal.
nah, it's more like replacing adam sandler with tom hanks in a good adam sandler comedy.
It's not the actor that's the problem
The closest anyone has come to Dick's story is a Mamaduke cartoon I saw in print years ago. Marmaduke is asleep in his doghouse when a tiny spaceship lands. The tiny aliens get his paw print on a peace treaty and fly away. The confused dog goes back to sleep.
As Film Brain joked in his review “See British Imperialists, just wait a few years and we can get back our old colonies”
Seriously don’t know what to make of that plot point.
Fun Fact: Len Wiseman also worked on the miniature effects for Quest of the Delta Knights which is featured in one of my favorite MST3K episodes!
This remake was just pointless:Arnold did it better in the early 90s and the remake couldn't top it.
John Avenger agreed fuck the remake give me the classic any day
Still, it could have been a good movie, was hoping they would have gone for a more campy tone instead of this half and half BS.

I don't know, this was one of the most retarded reviews I've seen, I haven't seen this channel before but I don't wanna see it again next time, what's up with this smegm guy or whatever his name was? he acts like he's trying to play some hybrid version of Arnold Schwarzenegger mixed with the joker, and he just makes me wanna scream at the screen like, what does this mean what does that mean and me being like, it's clearly this or it's clearly that or, do you have common sci-fi scene? this is more tiring and iritating then even decently funny
22:29 Those look like cheap knockoffs of the Stormtroooper outfits.
You'd be a great director, smeghead. You're brilliant.
You should review Inspector Gadget.
So glad Kate will never be in an Underworld movie again.Thank u gawd.
931 Lens Flares. Amazing we don't go blind watching this.
The events of the original movie are not a fantasy in Quaid head because their are scene where he is not present. However from Quaid's point of view it's not really clear as to whether the events of the movie are real since from his point of view everything that has happened to him could be a hallucination.
The core of the Earth has extreme pressures and temperatures, molten iron under extreme pressure. "The Fall" is not possible.
Imagine if the remake went more into the psychological side of how the "not knowing what is real and what isn't" confliction messes with the main character. Add a layer where regardless of what is the truth, he now has more respect and appreciation for that traditional lifestyle, showcasing that he has made peace with his mid-life crisis.
I knew it was gonna be this one.
Red Hood Reviews Hmm...think you could predict tomorrow's lotto numbers for me? lol
That elevator system reminded me of The Cube.
If you ever have the chance you should review it and its weirdass sequel...
That Kevin Owens shirt though. Great review!
Actually, the implant phone could be invisible until activated.
Use a subdermal film of graphene a few molecules thick as a substrate. Add metalic layers so the upper and lower surfaces act as a thermocouple, generating power from the differential between your body heat and the outside air. Electronic components, light emitting elements, even an antenna can be created by modifying and doping the graphene sheet. The result is a flexible phone that is invisible and can't be felt by the person it's implanted in.
Kate Beckinsale’s performance in this film was absolutely horrendous
I also hate how the movie flaunts her in your face because she's married to the director Len Wiseman, which doesn't seem to look like an accident, though they divorced 7 years after the movie came out.
18:57 I watched this video to see if you missed it. You did. After an hour runtime of chasing and searching, she tells Quaid she can bring him to see the head honcho. And like skipping through the nearest door, there they are!
7:30 thats how wearing glasses is most of the time lol
is it me or does the presenter look like a johnny cab?
The stamp on the arm does raise a new question, why didn't his "friend" trying to talk him down tell him to check his arm to see if the stamp was there or not? In the original the ambiguity was there, not to mention that scene was much more intense.
It wasn't bad but a lot of it didn't feel a bold as the other film was, also that woman who effectively takes on Michael ironside's role was doing almost everything and was nearly everywhere, she is literally a movie example of a mary sue.
Well, Kate Benkinsale (i don't know how to spell it) is married to the director. so maybe the latter went with Paul WS Anderson's logic of "Look how awesome my wife is" that limits Milia Jonovich's career prospect more than anything.
According to universetoday.com, the average diameter of Earth is 7,926 miles. The movie says that The Fall travels this distance in 17 minutes. Using the formula that I’m sure we all remember from high school, distance = rate x time, we see that The Fall travels at a speed of 466.24 miles per minute or 27,974.4 miles per hour.
I never noticed the lense flares when I watched this😆😰
Total Recall and Starship Troopers are my "bucket of ice cream".
Hey Shaun. As you probably know I've spent the longest time begging you to review Doogal. This has most likely pissed you off. Because of this, I would like to apologise for that and say that you don't have to review Doogal; I doubt you would have if I continued nagging about it. So again, I'm sorry for all of that.
P.S. Are you ever going to review Gigli? I only say that because you said that you would at some point in your review of The Cat in the Hat. I'm not going to be nagging you to review that, but I just think it's strange that you've never reviewed it when you said you would one day.
He will...that movie won a worst picture Razzie.
@@andrewollmann304 And now he has.
The "I give good wife" bit kinda makes sense when you consider the guy who made the film was her husband at the time, I think this movie was a way for him to show off his hot wife, she's supposed to be the secondary antagonist I thought, yet she's in it more and lasts longer than Cranston, who I thought was the Big Bad
interactive recording with a message that only responds to the right questions...didn't that happen in i, robot?
All I remember from the Conan remake is they went into his backstory more.
I think the magnet cars are like the sleeping pods in The Passengers, they've never ever failed, until now.
The point of the genocide plotline is to point out how people in less developed countries are often seen as expendable. Again, see the Britain/Australia relationship. The movie's point is all the problems in its world arise from people thinking of themselves and not considering the consequences.
oh, that Total Recall -- totally agree
10:30 I swear to god, for a second I thought you said 'Bill Nye'.
Futuriest Future That Ever Futured should be the name of a TVTrope page.
Ha!
A snippet from "UHF"?? 😵
That's not *"absolutely nothing. STUPID".* 😂😂
Well the old one is pretty obvious it all went down in his head too. The straps they use at recall on his arms are like Velcro, but when quade wakes up he rips a metal restraint off the chair. Also “blue skies on mars that’s a new one”
OH PLEASE LET THE NEXT REVIEW BE GALAXY QUEST!!!
I saw an interview with the director and he took I think it was his mother to see the movie and she complained about the lens flare and he said he realised he'd gone overboard
Whats really funny is that in the latin vercion of this movie the title was "the mars avenger" /"el vengador de marte" soo the remake was the marsless, Mars avenger...
why do people who make "Scifi" Revolvers usually go for the lowered barrel style but forget to lower the hammer or cover it up? only things from memory that do it right are Togusa's Mateba and Vash's revolver.
Big thumbs up for saying Verhoeven properly!
I read the title and didn't see the 2012 at first, I thought you were going to bash the original .... you scared me for a second.
This isn't Cinema Sins.
I remember hearing that Bill Nighy was in the movie and getting all excited that Bill Nye was in the movie, since I had never heard of Bill Nighy.
Imagine the disappointment!
I didnt know you were a Kevin Owens fan, Smeghead! Nice!
8:05 the advert on the train in the movie spells "rekall" with a (K).
but the title of this video has spelt "recall" with a (C)
When its actually supposed to be Rekal.
My thoughts were, "Why not just faithfully adapt the original short story?
I think what would have made the ending much better is that Quaid takes off the sticker and is return to reality. He wakes up at the Total Recall facility only to find the staff is preoccupied with the breaking news feed. It's an announcement from Cohagen that he is going to begin colonizing Mars to ease the pressure of the overpopulation. It would be a true to the book homage to the original storyline and to the original storyline from the 1990 version
Also also, many systems, like monorails, only work safely if the safeties aren't disengaged. In a world where an elevator through the earth's core works, hovercars should actually be easy to keep safe.
13:23 Which means that technology is also friendship!
Take that, robot apocalypse! Pure math!
The Fall is kind of theoretically possible. It's a thought experiment discussed in college freshman physics textbooks. It's pretty much the only part of this movie that's even vaguely interesting. However the transit time is a best 42 minutes not 17 minutes.
With "theoretically possible" do you mean the capsule would come out on the other side of the earth or do you mean that it would actually be possible to drill a tunnel through the molten core?
+Schwarzer Ritter drilling through mantle and outer core would not be possible and they are not solid. The Fall would require the Earth to ba solid sphere.
The temperature in the Earth's core is like >10,000 degrees C, with extreme pressures.
It is impossible to drill a hole through the Earth's core.
I believe I made that point.
