I just got back from seeing this movie. A really nice flick. The commercials advertise it as some hardcore action flick but it's really this mystery type movie with a really diverse plot. I recomend seeing it.

the 20 second trailer was so exciting, I don't think I need to pay to see the other 2 hours of Tom Cruise being a tit :)

The movie needs:
1. A non-linear plot (action-saga type) 2. Sound editing+engiring by booth/brown 3. Rivaling faction-groups and gangs 4. AMBER as the soundtrack

john williams did the soundtrack... you think Ae have better talent to make a soundtrack?
granted that i enjoy Autechre, i do not think they would make a good action/mystery soundtrack
they would however make a good acid/drug dealing movie soundtrack
album of choice : confield

i don't doubt at all that they could compose a movie soundtrack, given that it was the right atmosphere for the type of music they make..

or at least some sound engineering.
remember those guns? and how whoever was in charge of it, fitted them with just a dense "FWOMP" noise? anyone capable of making something like gantz graf, or second peng, is capable of better than that :/

Looked like pure crap side dished with tom cruise, who while being crap himself, is used to great crowd drawing effect when concerned with crap.
*Shrugs* Isn't he a little OLD to be doing action movies still? What's the cut off age, shouldn't he be looking for more mature roles? I dunno, I'm not going to spend money on seeing it.

crusie didn't really do an action movie for this movie wasn't exactly action. there were action scenes in it but it wasn't just some pure sci-fi action thriller, it had at least some decent twists and turns to it. but yeah i agree with you he is a bit old to be doing action movies.

it's based on a Philip K Dick short story, not a novel... havent seen it yet... Spielberg's massively oversentimental AI makes me wary, along with the often very annoying egotrips by Tom Cruise... i still can't believe his ridiculous portrayal of that "vampirism as a metaphor for being gay" ... but then i never read any of Rice's novels, so maybe thats how she wrote him?
I actually like Total Recall... for sure, having Arnold as the hero is very un-Philip K Dick, but director Verhoven captures the schizo-type paranoia, just what is really real?... what is reality, is he being manipulated?... or is he manipulating?... the do we create are own view of subjective reality theme quite well... plus it is also not too serious, suiting the material
