I remember watching the governor's version of "Total Recall" on TV back then. Because of the space aspect of the film, it was translated into "Cosmic Power Dragon". Back then, I didn’t know anything about Sarah Stone at all, and only knew the governor. The stories and pictures expressed in the film are still fresh in my memory. For example, the governor stabbed his opponent to death with a big iron needle on the sleeve of his hand and protected him in space. The broken hood caused protruding eyes and difficulty breathing, the three mimi, the palm mold button, and the leader on the stomach, the people at the bottom who were deformed due to lack of oxygen, all of which can be said to be super classic sci-fi at that time. .
However, when the film first introduced that the earth was divided into two by the middle pipe, I felt bad, and sure enough, the whole Mars-Earth plot became England-Australia. You know, in recent years, apart from Harry Potter, what other famous films are set in the UK? Not to mention Australia. Moreover, there is no outer space factor, which greatly reduces the fun of the film. Although the futuristic scenes piled up with computer effects in this film are very beautiful and high-tech, it cannot stop the dry fact that the whole story takes place on earth. Is this film funded by the British royal family? Otherwise who would choose such a background. At least, choose China to the United States, so that the topicality and visibility will be much higher.
Then, in the whole film, the essence and interest of the old version can hardly be seen, and only some elements of the old version are copied and modernized. It becomes a boring neck ring, and the facial changes are not very distinctive. This film also does not have the classic setting of "baby on the stomach". The shocking scene at the beginning is still not old-fashioned. This tragic situation has pushed the conflict between the rich and the poor to a climax. The conflict between the rich and the poor in this film is also poorly described, and it does not arouse the sympathy of the audience, rather than the extreme situation in the old version where the poor even bought oxygen. The theme of "conflict between rich and poor" can be re-interpreted now, but unfortunately this film basically failed in this regard.
The highlight of this film is actually the robots made by Miss Kate and Apple. The whole story is rather boring. It seems that Colin should go to a dark comedy movie. In this movie, he basically has the same expression. There are also many technical bugs. The bug of the authentic rocket has been discovered by countless netizens. So, who said that only Chinese people can only make pictures and not pay attention to content? Hollywood is not bad at this.
