Unfortunately, I did what everyone else my age did & compared this movie to the original scene by scene.
It's a little different, but if you pay attention to the smallest details, there were a bunch of similarities in the dialogue & scenes. For example, a woman gets pulled to the side when she shows her passport & anyone who saw the original would assume the woman was actually Colin Ferrell because she was the one Arnold was disguised as.
Little things like that.

As a remake, this movie is so so...
As a standalone, it could have been really good... but if you saw the original when it was popular, then Arnold's version won't let you enjoy this film on it's own.

**Big shout out to Retro Fitness for always showing the original Total Recall in the theater room. Saved me the trouble of having to rent it to refresh my memory.

***By the way, if you DIDN'T like the original when it came out (because a lot of people didn't), you might actually like this remake as it's a little less far fetched than Arnold's Recall....a LITTLE less far fetched.
I'll be back.
