The graphics were OUTSTANDING, the story was weak and pointless, at least the first one gave reasons WHY the main character had been erased, in this one it's some vague resistance.. it's just one long chase scene, one in which you don't care who is chasing or who is being chased. I can only imagine the actors spending months in front of a green screen, because only about five minutes of this movie doesn't involve endless, outlandish and impossible chase scenes for no reason. Watch it some rainy Sunday when you want to kill two hours but don't expect much in the way of a plot

This then only deserves a '1'. So the idea behind it is not to watch the original at all, not even know about it and then with a clean slate watch this one and then give it a review. I could not because I went physically to the movie hall to watch the original in 1990. But I have to counteract my own philosophy because the three-titted bimbo in the first fifteen to twenty minutes of the remake has been lifted as it is from the original! So The 'Original' stands out as a towering Monolith even for the remakers. Seriously, I could not even get through the first twenty minutes of this film and had to shut it just down. Even seeing the 'hero' I kept on asking, where is that middle-aged man in his late thirties, or early forties which is so clearly etched into my mind from the original? Let us keep it straight here, the original was so good, no remakes should be ever made of it ever....if done they will just pale away .. as this one did. A very miserable hand at Philip K. Dick's story.

Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell) lives in the crowded colonial Australia with his wife Lori (Kate Beckinsale). He travels to his factory work in Britain thru The Fall, an elevator through the center of the earth. He builds security robots with his friend Harry. He goes to Rekall to implant a created memory as a vacation. All hell breaks loose. Melina (Jessica Biel) is a resistance fighter.

The 1990 original has Arnold Schwarzenegger in campy iconic fun sci-fi action movie. In this one, director Len Wiseman drops any sense of camp or light fun. Arnie's light humor is missed. There is some good action but no chemistry between anybody. The movie doesn't stop for a moment to take a breath. It's either action, action, action, or explain, explain, explain. The ending runs on, and on, and on. Basically it takes too long to finish.

Now we come to The Fall. It's a visually interesting idea, but it makes no real-world sense. It looks good. It has good visuals, but IT MAKES NO SENSE. If The Fall delivers you to another planet, that would be better as a sci-fi concept.
