  Reality and fantasy are equally shitty except in one of them you are important.

  There’s a strong argument to be made for TOTAL RECALL as the greatest practical effects movie in history.

  For about 10 years Verhoeven was the undefeated God of being hired to turn in a crass piece of studio genre product—in this case, a conspiratorial sci-fi thriller starring an A-list action star—and both deliver on all the well-crafted, gruesomely entertaining memory/identity thriller setpieces (including some of the all-time great squib work, never forget that commuter escalator human shield lol) and smuggle in some genuinely intelligent satirical, subversive ideas. In this case, ones that make you consider who crafts the images we see in our dreams and what they are meant to make us feel and how they can bleed into reality. Like Robocop, this indulges every single sleazy, cartoon American sex-and-violence action fantasy impulse there is; however, here it's…

  "See you at the party, Richter!"

  For those of you who haven't seen this film, I have only one thing to say; "Get your ass to Mars!"

  okay psychotic but fun

  really loving and appreciating Michael Ironside as the emotional core of Verhoeven sci-fi. He’s always so good   

  everyone is like working hard which I appreciated

  Shout out to lil miss 3 titty bitch as well. It’s crazy that I knew who she was for so many years, she was stuff of lore, really. Then she became real to me. 

  Movies are magic. 

  The last great practical effect was making a girl have 3 titties. 

  I also want to be clear, I’m not a proponent of the word titty ever. But that woman is a woman with 3 of those. 

  Is a def jam comic ghost writing this? This post is getting scary....

  Imagine a colonial power keeping a population of underpaid immigrant workers in poverty, exploiting their labor in order to plunder natural resources for personal gain. Lol, what will those wacky sci-fi writers think of next!?

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  *Was a 95, now a 100*

  Watching Michael Ironside's arms getting torn off while Arnold exclaims, "see you at the party, Richter!", was a transcendent moment for ten year old me. Verhoeven is still the man. What a spectacle, thanks to Rob Bottin and team. Such a dazzling odyssey of shootouts and questions of identity. Layers of dreams and realities, often intertwined with social struggles. A single man controls the air supply, of course they can control your life. Just as prescient as ever.

  Review by CosmonautMarkie ★★★★ 8

  I didn’t expect to love this as much as I do. After the predator movies made me mad I decided I want more Arnold so I watched this. It was sick

  Good: 
  - Practical effects are insane 
  - Story is gripping and has genuinely exciting twists
  - Arnold being cute and silly 

  Bad:
  - Girl character is lame
  - Actually most people who aren’t Arnold are lame
