Overview
Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid, even though he's got a beautiful wife who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life - real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man. Finding himself on the run from the police - controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen, the leader of the free world - Quaid teams up with a rebel fighter to find the head of the underground resistance and stop Cohaagen. The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love, and his true fate.

Best remake I've ever seen
I was happily surprised by this movie. Normally, I'm not a huge fan of remakes but this one was pretty good! The storyline was good and I enjoyed every minute. The acting was okay, could've been better but it's okay. All in all, I liked it!

No fun
The remake of Total Recall is (like the original film) built on a really solid sci-fi premise, but (unlike the original) manages to have no fun whatsoever with it. It's like they were following the recipe, but forgot the fun. Where's the fun? There is no fun. I don't love the original, but it's a good time. This one is destined to be forgotten. It's a shame, really.
