Synopsis
Arnold Schwarzenegger is perfectly cast as Quaid, a 2084 construction worker haunted by dreams of Mars in this crowd-pleasing science fiction spectacle. Against the wishes of his sexy blonde wife (Sharon Stone), Quaid goes to Rekall, a company that implants artificial memories, so he can remember visiting the red planet that is now being settled by human inhabitants. However, Quaid is actually an amnesiac secret agent from Mars--or is he

Customer Reviews

Best version available - It's a port of the HD DVD transfer
I see this product has one review by a sadly misguided soul who thinks this is a bad grainy transfer. First of all, this is the same transfer as the excellent HD DVD version, also the pitch problem has been fixed too. I had owned the US artisan release on Blu-ray prior to this and this is a big improvement on that transfer. The disc is coded region A,B. The sound is 5.1 DTS HD master audio. Due to the lack of any extras it misses the final star for my review. However, in terms of image and sound quality, This is the best version available of this cracking film.

One of the Governator's best...
This film was one of the last SF epics without the 'benefits' of wall-to-wall CGI- and plays all the better for that.

This is one of Schwarzenegger's best roles, the adaption of Philip K Dick's classic is gloriously over-the-top, but without sacrificing any of its deep ambiguity.

The pace never let's up. A great watch.

However, the BluRay is not THAT much better than the DVD. Still, it's the best way to watch this loud and frantic slice of unalloyed fun.
