Total Recall-Schwarzenegger's Yesterdays

Based on a short story by Philip K. Dick, "We Can Remember For You Wholesale",Total Recall continues to be an engaging movie.

The year is 2084. Douglas Quaid is a construction worker. Every night Doug has been having horrible nightmares about the planet Mars and it has become an obsession.Doug goes to "Rekall INC", a company that simulate false memories of ideal holidays. When Doug has a false memory of a holiday on Mars implanted, it all goes terribly wrong.

Doug has lost his memory and he is being chased by a group of assassins and his beautiful wife Lori is a agent who claims his whole life is a fake and he isn't who he is. After discovering he is Hauser, a former Mars Intelligence agent, Quaid goes to the colony on Mars, hoping of find himself.

He then meets a woman named Melina who was the woman in his dream. Together they wreaked havoc on Mars and saved the planet from destruction.

The eye candy, Sharon Stone and Rachel Ticotin impresses. Arnie in his younger days was more punchy. Not like today where he is only paunchy!

Good movie.
