Total Recall (2012)

Just what movie goers need, another remake. There was no reason to make this film other then to show what CGI can do. The original story was fine. We all know what's going to happen so there is no real reason to go over the same matereial and make some changes that don't enhance the original story. Of course, if fast moving vehicles and explosions and other violence are your cup of tea then enjoy the show. But I think you should at least rent the original so you know the remake wasn't necessary and you could have spent your money on something more interesting.

One word sums this movie up. Confusing. It's like another version of Inception, where the movie takes you on different twists and turns and jerking your mind's sense of understanding with it. If you watch this movie in a theater, you'll leave with a headache. Language: Many uses of the word, 'sh**', one use of 'f**k' and other expletives such as 'da**' and 'b***h'. Violence: There are many explosions, shootings, and martial arts throughout this film. Blood is shown on characters after close calls and a villain dies by being stabbed with a knife. Blood is shown. Sex: A man's wife gets out of bed wearing a shirt and panties, a woman removes her shirt to reveal three breasts, (blatant sexuality for no reason!). A few passionate kisses are exchanged between a man and a woman. In one scene there are silhouettes of woman dancing provocatively in the background, and woman walk around in provocative clothing. Overall I'd give this movie two stars only because the action and fighting sequences were good. I'd suggest that this movie is not appropriate for ages under 15 due to its sexuality, language and violence. But this movie really isn't worth the huge headache it'll give you after you watch it.

This was a good movie, but not great. The violence was frequent but was mainly martial arts.. There was a scene where a prostitute revealed her three naked breasts, but if you blink you could've missed it. There was semi-frequent language and alcohol. This had a dark tone, much like that of "The Dark Knight Rises", with rebellion being a big topic. so overall, this was good and worth seeing, but had a few minor problems.

I've never seen the original Total Recall but this remake is an excellent movie. However it should have been rated R. Violence- Very rough but suprisingly not too bloody. The worse scenes are a stabbing and a scene where the main character cut a phone out of his hand. Other violence includs lots of hand to hand combat and futuristic gun battles. Sex- The first time you see his "wife" she is in a bra and panties and when he goes to rekall a woman comes up to him and flashes her three naked breasts. It shows full nudity for a second. This is the scene that i think makes this movie deserve an R rating. Language- roughly 40 s--t, d--n, a--, h-ll, g-d--n and one use of f--k. This is an excellent movie but is only apporiate for teens 15 and up. 13 and up if they close their eyes when the woman flashes her three naked breasts.
