The heat of the film Total Recall (2012)
Total Recall (2012) have all the important factors needed to be a perfect summer movie. In this film you can be satisfied with the action of non-stop action, explosions ditingkahi barrage that advanced technology of the future. One more thing do not miss the sexy women are good at fighting.
This film takes the background state of post-war world of chemical weapons. Conflict between classes, such as Karl Marx annunciator where the rich fighting with the workers felt well in this film. Here can be found easily upper middle-class opposition who lived in the United Federation of Britain (UFB) and the working class who lived in The Colony (now Australia).
Only two of these areas are left to live. The result is a densely populated area that triggered the conflict. Social disparities become apparent.
But even if the situation gets worse, not many would dare to question this situation. Only a handful of rebels who fought for equality. The group is led by Matthias (Bill Nighy) is mysterious. While some unscrupulous UFB becomes servant of the rich. UFB is trying to eradicate unscrupulous residents of The Colony so that they can rebuild the area to serve the rich.
There is also a Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), a robot factory workers, who often doubted his own happiness and satisfaction. Every night she dreamed about him and a woman who did not know he was running away from the federal police. But in every dream he was captured and awakened.
In an attempt to entertain himself, Douglas seeking virtual fun with it comes to giving the illusion of a facility called Rekall. There he bought a serum illusion to become double agents, both for the UFB and rebel groups. However, before he could begin to have illusions, a bunch of cops came ambush site, and great Douglas managed to kill them all.
Douglas the question what happens. Why all of a sudden he was ambushed. How he can beat the cops with ease? Is this real or a dream? And the most important question is who is he really?
Total Recall (2012) was recycled from an earlier version in 1990, when Arnold Schwarzenegger became a major star.
New claim is made with a more serious atmosphere. Leave the comedy elements of the old version. Although the film is also the theme of the future, but not too many aliens are disgusting. But many elements of a very interesting futuristic, like flying cars, tattoos are lit like a lamp, means of transportation that could carry passengers across the earth in less than a minute, a phone that is embedded in the palm of the hand, and much more.
But Kate Beckinsale was the one who stole the attention with her role as Lori Quaid, wife of Douglas who is also an agent UFB. Beckinsale plays a successful agent a wily antagonist merciless fight and willing to do anything to finish the job. In a sexy tight black outfit, Beckinsale makes the character of Douglas overwhelmed.
Female protagonists in this film Melina (Jessica Biel) as immersed in the Beckinsale character. Role Biel looks flat when compared with the antagonist. So it is with Colin Farrell, as a complement to the visual presence, because the face of "bad boy" and his stature is very interesting. In the role, there's nothing special about Douglas. It is precisely this character seems to just trying to survive, to continue to run and shoot on target.
Unfortunately, although the film is enjoyable to watch with my eyes, but do not have enough twists and turns of the story. Total Recall could have played a lot of the storyline, and makes the audience wonder from the beginning to the end of the movie.
This new version is very easy to guess and not too difficult to digest. Though the film is supposed to focus on mind games with a variety of technologies and the serum used to remove, change and restore the memory of someone.
Perhaps, the director, Len Wiseman, the film is deliberately made simple in plot and visually lively. As a consequence of this movie fails to show the essence of mind games in Total Recall.
