Just finished watching the redo of Total Recall - wow, was that the worst example of taking a mediocre action script and attempting to shoehorn it into a known name for money. Glad it bombed at the box office!
*SPOILERS!!!*
If it wasn't related to the original and they'd stood it on its own it would have been just ok but the unnecessary links to the Arnie classic were just silly. No Mars or aliens at all, all on Earth where they way over-showed that Earth was crowded - we get it. Why was the 3-tata'd girl in it - there were no mutants - oh yeah, so they could show her to the press before the movie release. The wife character was unbelievable as a baddie, just annoying. And love that he can MMA an entire squad of 20 elite soldiers but one old guy is a struggle
PS. I had watched it too, and felt the same way..
Sure wish they would forget about remaking these things and just start with fresh ideas, etc.

There are (smite-ingly) many, many more where that came from.
I know, I've saved several hundred of them.
Me too
