Total Recall
Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, and Jessica Biel star in director Len Wiseman's remake of the 1990 Schwarzenegger sci-fi classic. This inner space version follows closely the same blueprint with even the same character names but the faces and settings have been changed. Fans may be disappointed that there is no Mars except for a trip reference, but they can expect the return of the unforgettable three breasted woman. It's shades of "I, Robot" meets "Attack of the Clones" with a "Blade Runner" backdrop. This action-packed special effects extravaganza panders to today's young generation. If you want to be surprised, don't make your own REKALL trip prior viewing, unless you just to compare in real time. Alien prefers the first film due to it's originality, cheesy charm, and reliance on miniatures at the time to create it's futuristic look.
Alien gives it 3 "Surviving the Fall" stars out of 4.
