Terrible presentation. I've owned this on dvd, blu-ray and now 4k HDR and they still don't have it right. Such a classic too bad.

took forever to get so did return to sender they sent me another copy which i did get faster

Let's face it. Total Recall should have never been remade. All together now. "Total Recall should have never been remade." There. Now that's out of our system. Paul Verhoeven made a movie that was much closer to the original Philip K. Dick story, "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale," except Verhoeven brought the Mars revolution to the forefront. This, the original version (and only version if it were left up to me), has been cleaned up and looks pretty good, although not great, when compared to other movies from the early 90s that look much better. The sound is more lively than previous versions of the movie, and the dialogue is perfectly mixed. Some cool new extras are added in this "Mind-Bending Edition." Previously omitted featurettes are included, along with a couple new extras, including a conversation with director Paul Verhoeven, an awesome visual effect featurette, and an obligatory comparison featurette that is only 5 mins long. Bottom line, it's the original. It's Arnie. Sharon Stone. The deliciously evil Ronny Cox (who was the OCP baddie Dick Jones in Verhoeven's classic, RoboCop), and the always entertaining Michael Ironside (see also Top Gun, Starshop Troopers, and video game fans will recognize his voice from the Splinter Cell video games). Total Recall is considered by most to be a 'thinking man's sci-fi" title, as is Gattica, Dark City, Minority Report, Solaris (the original, non-Clooney version), and the pièce de résistance, Blade Runner. I love it because under the action, there's a soul. Just like in the others of it's kind, no matter the science in the fiction, it is usually the humanity that's the most fascinating part of these stories.

Excellent movie, excellent packaging. I love the steelbook and a great addition to my collection.

Slight damage to the steelbook but overall fantastic 4K transfer of the film

Like Blade Runner before it and Minority Report after it, Total Recall is a sublime adaptation of Philip K. Dick's work. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays perhaps the most sympathetic character of his career. His Douglas Quaid is a quiet man (who just happens to be muscular) whose lifestyle is turned upside down when he realizes that everything he knows about his life and himself is a lie. This leads him to Mars to try to overthrow its bloodthirsty dictator who has a connection to who he truly is. Sharon Stone (just before Basic Instinct) is also first-rate as Quaid's wife, who has a secret or two of her own. This is more action-packed than Blade Runner or Minority Report, but it's just as memorable.

THe movie is really mind-bending. And we should also thank Goldsmith for its superb soundtracks. The main theme is so powerful and adventurous. Some other tracks that are meant to assist in what's on the screen to bend your mind are rhythmic and deep. Arnonld's acting is believable and many supporting roles contribute tremendously to the overall appeal of the film. Well, basically, Paul Verhoeven has made his movie almost like an implanted memory about a fantasized adventure for the audience. Good pun!

Not much more needs to be said about Total Recall. It's a great sci-fi movie that really didn't need a remake. The video and audio quality is MUCH better than the older disc, so be sure to buy this new "Mind-Bending" remastered version.

This steelbook is beautiful. It includes the mind-bending edition Blu Ray and even includes a UV copy of the movie which is great. I own the steelbook for the remake and this one is much better quality.

Total Recall is still one of the best sci-fi movies that I have ever seen and its still holds up to today’s standards. Its has a great plot and probably the best soundtrack ever made. If you like Schwarzenegger movies you will like Total Recall.

Watched it on Blu-ray last weekend and still enjoyed the heck out of it even after seeing it so many times previously. Arnold at his box office prime. The PQ is quite good for an older film. The AQ is definitely not up to current blockbuster standards but serves the picture well enough. Forget the remake and catch the original.

I have to admit that I didn't really want to see this movie, because I didn't feel you could do justice to the original. In a way, I was right. They succeeded in this movie by making it their own, and just throwing in a few winks to the original. I enjoyed it as a new movie, but when comparing it to the original, you just cannot remake it!

The picture quality is much better this time around, with a sharper image and improved colors. This is one of my favorite scifi films, and I'm glad it's finally getting the HD transfer it deserves.

Looks fantastic in 4K. The best it’s ever looked. Get it.

This is one of, if not THE, best movie ever made. I like it when he starts the reactor.

Total Recall is one of my favorite sci-fi movies, and this SteelBook Blu-ray is the best home version I've seen so far. Get your butt to Mars and pick up this SteelBook!

good popcorn flick, one of Arnold's best movies make sure you buy this edition not previous bluray release

Total Recall was an excellent Science Fiction movie from 1990 starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, your classic blow-em-up flick with a sci fi twist. I highly reccommend it. It is one of the last movies to use an actual set instead of CGI

Great movie, looks fantastic. Don't know about the reviews with "poor quality", looked great on my panasonic bd65 blu-ray and 42in. panasonic plasma

A cool looking steel book includes 3 blue rays wiyh lots of extras
