Anyone looking forward to the new Total Recall?

I may get smacked for saying this but I was not to thrilled with the first one. The special effects were adequate but the story seemed unevenly paced with no real depth to the characters

It was a good movie, but it was not great, I agree. If you want to think about its potential and what it could have been, look no further than Blade Runner, both of which sprung from Philip Dick's works. Both of them blur the boundary between what is real and what is not, to the point whaere the characters can't trust their own memories or know who is real or not.

But Blade Runner takes on themes of life and death and reality, and make the viewer think about them. While Blade Runner endures and has grown into being considered a classic, Total Recall was a big budget drive in movie.

The trailer for the new Total Recall actually looks more like Blade Runner than the original Total Recall.
