Desafío total Ratings & Reviews
- EnochLight11 de marzo de 2025Classic Paul Verhoeven, it's a miracle this film even got made - having been stuck in developmental hell for so many years and once considered to be unfilmable. Thanks to Arnold Schwarzenegger - who single-handedly saved this film (after Dino De Laurentiis's DEG went bankrupt) by convincing a small indie studio called Carolco to purchase the rights, A few re-writes later and things were underway, with Schwarzenegger essentially acting as executive producer. Many regard Verhoeven's 1987 "Robocop" as a superior film, but I have to disagree: "Total Recall" takes everything to the next level, in spectacle as well as story telling. As the original short story that it was based on (Philip K. Dick's "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale") could barely fill 30 pages, sending our protagonist to actual Mars was a stroke of genius - and largely one of the reasons why this film was considered unfilmable for so many years. This film is worth seeing just for the miniature sets alone, and the practical effects such as fat suits, face masks, and mutant prosthetics are nothing short of perfect for its time, and most still hold up today. The story is compelling, and once again allows Verhoeven to immerse the viewer in the corporate greed and satire that he focused on in "Robocop" (even featuring Ronny Cox as our corporate villain once again), while also adding an otherworldly take on an Indiana Jones subplot featuring ancient Martian aliens. Filled with classic one-liners, gratuitous violence (almost to the point of being comical), and an ending that is pure spectacle, this film is a masterpiece and worthy of being called one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time. It certainly remains in the pantheon, anyway. Jerry Goldsmith's score is brilliant, with the main theme almost echoing Basil Poledouris' "Conan: The Barbarian" with electronics. Taking into consideration Schwarzenegger essentially played executive producer, this is not surprising - but welcome. "Total Recall" would go on to be financially and critically successful, and paved the way for Verhoeven to create his apex of satire with 1997's "Starship Troopers" (another brilliant sci-fi classic). Watch it! And kiss me before I wake up.
- Zokkiiehace 5 dIt pretty much goes for it right away and doesn’t really slow down. Loud, messy, kind of over the top in a way that’s hard not to enjoy. Arnold Schwarzenegger just fits right into that energy and carries a lot of it. The effects are definitely old-school, but they’ve got a weird charm to them now. It’s a bit chaotic at times, but that’s part of the appeal—it never feels polished in a boring way. Just a fast, strange ride that somehow stays fun even when it gets a little ridiculous.
- booleanBoy1 de marzo de 2026Ever-green
- tellum17 de agosto de 2025Vacation anywhere but Mars.
- mickerdoo3 de enero de 2026They really went for it. Really fun practical effects. Arnold either exploding or kicking ass. Stone is lovely. So rewatchable.
- Kevin Ward1 de julio de 2025Have been struggling for a while to figure out when it’s appropriate to watch this with my kids. I call this The Three Booby Problem. Decided to pull the trigger this week. My wife being out of town may have played into that decision. The movie still holds up remarkably well. Two Weeks! is still my absolute favorite moment. So much sci-fi goodness. Was hoping we would get that Hologram watch in real life before we got the Cybertruck. Alas. Unfortunately, my youngest, Mav, didn’t really vibe with it though. (But what does he know? He loved The Garfield Movie) My older kids had a good time. Feels like one of those movies everyone should see at least once. Definitely a fun one to revisit.
- pipanni20 de junio de 2025My favorite Arnold movie. Such a great story, filled to the brim with clever dialogue and memorable scenes. The modern remake can't hold a candle to this version (even though I like the cast). "See you at the party, Richter!"
- Persian Empire19 de febrero de 2026Thrilling sci-fi classic that blends action, mystery, and mind-bending twists. Arnold Schwarzenegger is perfectly cast, and Paul Verhoeven’s bold direction delivers imaginative visuals, dark humor, and nonstop excitement. Its clever story and iconic moments make it a wildly entertaining film that still stands out decades later.
- Sebastian Byrne15 de febrero de 2026Watched it with my dad as a kid in the 2000’s and enjoyed it, and it still passes as a fun action flick that hasn’t aged poorly in the big ‘26!
- tyler chapman5 de junio de 2025What an amszing movie anry delivered
- M08Y14 de enero de 2026Pure Arnie nonsense in all the right ways. I knew nothing about Total Recall going in and that absolutely worked out in my favour. All I knew was that it was meant to be classic Schwarzenegger cheese and my god I was not disappointing. There isn't really that much to say about Total Recall other than that it's a fun, light-hearted and campy sci-fi adventure that will keep you entertained for 2 hours. I wouldn't go in expecting a deep reflection on the meaning of life, but as long as you manage your expectations you'll have a blast. Some of the special effects are VERY 90s, Use your imagination.
- sopula29 de mayo de 2025Just a neat movie, like a birthday gift Lots of fun
- Djp26 de noviembre de 2025Great movie
- Michael Surber21 de noviembre de 2025Total 80s cheese is more like it. A lot of fun for the most part but it hasn't aged very well.
- Neon Ghloes3 de agosto de 2025This would be a 5 star movie if Michael Ironside wasn't THE RAPIEST human on Earth! My gawd! This is uncomfortable to wartch alone! Let alone wartch with anyone that doesn't force themselves upon others without their consent...
