Has anyone seen the Total Recall remake?
It's had average / negative reviews, and currently has a rating of
30% on Rotten Tomatoes (compared to
84% for the original).
The general consensus of the reviews I have read is that it is a soulless and average run-of-the-mill SF action thriller...
From reading the
story on the Wikipedia entry, it does sound like it's just an altered remake of the Arnie version (rather than a more accurate adaptation of the original story), with a few things changed such as the location... plus the Lori role (played by director Len Wiseman's wife Kate Beckinsale) seems to have been expanded by merging it with the original's Richter.
I'll save my £10 and just watch the Arnie version at home.
