My husband and I went out for a mini date last night to see the new Total Recall.  As I have never seen the original, I can not compare the two together.  Sorry!

But what I can do is say that it was a good movie.  I can’t say great, because it did feel a tad bit lengthy and I was aware of how uncomfortable the movie seats were.  When your backside begins to scream at you, you know the movie isn’t great.

With that being said, I enjoyed the premise of the movie.  I always LOVE Kate Beckinsale.  She is great at fierce roles.

Colin Farrell…don’t hate me ladies, but I’ve never been a huge fan.  Not sure what it is about him, but I think they could have found a better actor for the role.  But he did a pretty good job for this movie.

The special effects impressed me.  Nothing felt fake or cheap.

Overall, I enjoyed this movie.  I think it would be best seen on a big screen because some scenes have a lot going on and it would be much more impressive on a larger screen.

I would recommend this movie…but I wouldn’t go see this one over Spiderman or Batman.  Or the new Bourne movie coming out next week.  I’m soooo excited, despite Matt Damon not being in this one.
