Total Recall Remake Trailer Remembers Things Differently
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
It doesn't look as bad as The Thing, but still pretty bad. I'm just so tired of the slick futuristic look and the fast paced quickly cut fights in these movies. Was something wrong with the industrial look or the brutality of a brawl? There's no variation anymore and I can barely tell movies apart, it's discouraging.
Hi, welcome to the internet. I see this is your first time here. Well, let me introduce you to one, well known means of communication. When someone is expecting something to happen, instead of posting it in full and several sentences, they revert to "inb4". Inb4 is a short and comedic way of bringing over your entire point. My point was a joke, which went over quite nicely, thank you.Crono1973 said:
Now that you are more familiar with these "Intorwebs", you are well on your way of becoming a true, Internet master!
Doesn't look too bad, except for the 3 main actors not really being to my taste. Oh, and John Cho. *sigh*
Honestly, I don't mind a remake. The original movie was a big fat slab of cheese anyway. It was enjoyable, no doubt about that, but hardly anything I would deem too sacred to remake. And it looks like this remake is going in a totally different direction, trying to distance itself as much from the original's aesthetic as possible, so what's the big deal?

I saw no dark ang gritty in this trailer. When I look at this trailer I actuallt see "PG13" safe out of the assembly line sci-fi.nikki191 said:
What was cool about the original total recall (and what is cool about most of the sci-fi) is the actually interesting visuals and alienation of the world.
In original TR we had disgusting mutatnts like wato or the cab driver, hostile environment of mars and much more. The film was in fact much more gory than this one (lately all movies became PG13 fest). Things like showing a woman getting a bullet in the head or 3 boobed hookers are not shown today.
None of that weirdness is shown in the trailer, it's just generic sci-fi city (not that good looking even tbh) and generic shooting.
In the end, I think that "dark and gritty bubble" did burst, and what we are left with is shitty wannabe gritty movies.
God I'm tired of PG13...
Isnt this based closer to the book than the last movie was? Looks like to generic, has no personality or charm. An i dont know about you guys here but im sick of movies with over choreographed fight scenes. Its just boring now and over used. Look in that trailer, takes out a room full of guards in seconds...might as well just make him bullet proof. Kinda sucks all the danger out the movie when your main character is never in danger because the guards are never a threat.
Im actually unsure whether you are being sarcastic or not. Because while parts of it are true, well one part anyway, other parts arent.Revolutionaryloser said:
The trailer looks..bland. I mean you could basicly tell what was coming before it even happened. When the guys raided the "Store"? Yeah my first thought was "They all got 2 Days till retirement". I knew they were a goner, every single one of them. Everything about that movie essentially screams "The same shit you've seen twenty times before" and the "maybe its real, or its a dream" thing wont save it. The only good thing i can see if they actually write themselves into a dark corner.
By that i mean that the Guy is experiencing a Fantasy within Reality, in short, he is hallucinating and not everything is as he experiences it and he will have to realize that at the end..and by end i mean just before the credits roll, with a horrified look on his face...wait a second..DAMNIT, they already did that with a game *hint hint*.
Seriously though, if they do that angle and a good writer, it might pay off. But otherwise i dont see anything new to this, i mean the basic premise and everything the trailer shows is so basic that we've seen it literally at least 20 times before this.

A silly Canadian movie influenced by Dicks' work that was on Mystery Science Theatre (even though it's based on a John Varley story). It was a bad joke about how Hollywood is remaking everything.
This Summer...
Is nothing sacred!
I think I'll give this one a miss.
I should say though the original I liked probably because of it's faults, so I can't say I can defend it much either but I think the studio want money so why make a new action movie with a similar plot and not use the same name? The free advertising they'll get from us being annoyed alone will publicise this movie.

It also means that time will collapse in on itself from the paradox.FelixG said:
