Total Recall
1990
**½
Director: Paul Verhoeven
Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rachel Ticotin, Michael Ironside, Sharon Stone
Paul Verhoeven's follow-up to Robocop is also set in the future. In the year 2084 a man dreams of a trip to Mars, which finally becomes reality through a memory implant. But the real world is not the same when he returns.
The story is complex and fascinating, but it's buried under a mountain of special effects and steady wall of noise. Based on Philip K. Dick's novelette We Can Remember It for You Wholesale.
