Douglas was a factory worker who had a beautiful wife named Lori. he lived in The Colony, traveled through the earth's core everyday to work in the UFB. but one day, he got tired of the monotonous life and questioned the recurring dream that he kept having. he went to Rekall, a company that implanted artificial memories for the sake of fun. when he was scanned for compatibility, a squad of armored police came rushing in. Douglas instinctively killed every police before escaping. soon he discovered that even Lori was an undercover agent that was appointed to monitor him.
we had not watched the original Total Recall (1990) stared by Arnold Schwarzenegger, but Total Recall (2012) surprised us in so many unexpected ways. we obviously didn't anticipate for a film with such depth and complications that it thoroughly impressed us. the creativity and originality of the Colony (a place for the poor to live) and UFB (for the rich) alone was enough to draw us into the story, experiencing the agitation Douglas felt as he tried to sort things out, struggling to uncover his past while dealing with the current damages.
