A screen version of Phillip K. Dick's story "We Can Remember Everything for You in Bulk." Doug Quaid (Schwarzenegger) wants to experience the unknown and turns to the company, where, with the help of signals sent to the brain, he receives someone else's life and the memory of it. After the session, everything changes in the life of this simple worker in 2048. He goes to Mars, where he takes part in the most dangerous adventures. It takes your breath away from the frantic pace of action, and there is no time to think about where is reality and where is illusion. Sophisticated specials The Oscar-winning visuals lend Verhoeven's futuristic fantasies a grandeur incomparable with the banality of the chase-film genre. Well, Schwarzenegger stubbornly argues that in the technotronic age, muscles and quick reactions mean something.
Total Recall 4K ReviewA simple worker decides to diversify his life with an imaginary trip to Mars - and finds out that he is in fact a super agent. Philip Dick's short story "We Will Recall Everything for You" tells about a peasant from the XXI century who dreamed of a trip to Mars. He contacted the company that implanted fake memories, but in the process found out that as a special agent he had already visited the red planet on a secret mission.
If Dick had everything unambiguously (yes, the agent, yes, he visited), then at Verhoeven neither the viewer nor the hero understands: is everything that is happening really or the patient's brain just boiled and sprinkles with paranoid fantasies. In the early 90s, it seemed that CGS had opened up a brave new world of unthinkable dreams to Hollywood. Alas. Technique could not replace the meager imagination of most directors.
But Verhoeven's visionary experiments - the scarlet Martian deserts, the transformation of a fat woman into Schwarzenegger, an underground city full of strange inhabitants - are striking in their freshness: these pictures perfectly correspond to the hallucinatory nature of the plot, and the past twenty years have hardly erased them from anyone's memory.
