Comment
In a future world decimated by war, the only habitable parts of the planet are Great Britian and Australia that are linked by a travel tube that goes through the centre of the earth. An apparently lowly worker goes to a company that can implant memories but it opens up a past that is linked to the ruling government and the terrorist group trying to change the political and economic situation. This is a remake of the original Total Recall film and lacks the impact and the one liners of the original film. Whilst a number of scenes play homage to the original film, the plot seems to have been sacrificed for the sake of the effects. Despite a good cast this is not an improvement on the original film, which remains the one to watch.
