I went into watching this film with the expectation that it was all action, and not really much story. I wasn’t really proven wrong, but the story was better than I had pictured in my mind.
The premise behind the film just seemed silly. The action scenes were good. The main actor was also better than I expected. A few scenes in the middle were also silly, and I’d say pointless.
Playing on the ‘Rekall’ part of things was fun, but you kind of knew (if you’d seen the trailer) that you were never going to know if anything was real or not.
My problem is that I can’t recall (pun intendended) what the Schwarzenegger film storyline was like – I remember a few scenes here and there, but not the overall story. So I can’t really compare.
I give it 6/10
