The 1990 Total Recall may not have aged well due to its then-cutting-edge SFX, so a remake certainly had potential. Unfortunately they've completely missed the point of the original and in their pains to make this one different, they've lost the ambiguity that made the first film so rewatchable. Plus the decision to go for non-stop action eventually becomes rather repetitive and tiresome, especially since the stakes aren't as clear. However, it looks fantastic and is sure to age far better than Arnie's version did.
