The original Total Recall was a great movie, fantastically paced, great score and a brilliant sci-fi premise (and probably Arnie's greatest line "Consider that a divorce!" )
The remake was dull, obvious and badly cast - I've tried to watch three times and never make it through!
Proof that "VFX extravaganzas" do not make a good movie.
It was groundbreaking at the time and I think the most expensive movie ever made at that point at about $70 million.
