Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
jasperan The whole film takes you in the journey of the life of a simple man that finds his life has been a lie. During the whole film, you are presented with the question: is everything that is happening real, or an illusion? It kept me on the edge of my seat until the end of the film.I have to say I did expect another ending to the film.I give it a 7/10 because the characters are not very relatable with myself, so I can't connect like I usually do in my 7+ movies.Recommended!
AlexMedario I've watched the two films in a row, first the Schwarzenegger movie, then the update. Even so the special effects, how the cities are set and an improved story, the initial film has an extra because the humor.A few differences and references of both films. This second film happens entirely in this planet. The first one was between Earth and Mars. Just a Mars reference happens when Douglas is going to be implanted the holiday memory and he states that he would love to visit the planet. The road with levitating vehicles is excellent, a real vehicle where the pilot is a ridiculous dummy.Mars is full of mutants, and this includes a prostitute with three breast. The Colony, in the recent film, has a interesting night life also, and the scene repeats when a girl shows her three breast to Douglas.I suppose there are a few more hidden references, but it's kind of a game to find them, let's try for yourself.Enjoy.
laserburn The question on everyone's mind was what was the point of remaking this movie? Verhoeven's peace was a classic in it's own way and his movies are best left alone, as remake of Robocop confirmed as well.If this movie was not a remake, it could be viewed as quite decent. Even as a remake, it is not bad, though there is way too much action and CGI for my taste and the story was not as developed as well as it could be, though the original movie was not that much better in that department either. The male major roles are decently acted, but two leading female roles are somewhat lacking, though they are not horrible by any means.I did like the brushes with the original here and there, mentioning of Mars, a familiar lady at the police checkpoint, etc. And I also liked that in this movie it is suggested stronger that everything is fantasy, while in the original it was suggested that it was reality. I am talking about the director's cut, the original theater version was kind of crap and it had a slightly different ending.
nottoman Well....will all the crybabies please go home! So many ridiculous rants about this movie being different than the original. Shut the H**l up. It's a new film for a new audience. I never saw the original and I really enjoyed this movie. Great action, lots of sci-fi built in, and enough intrigue to make you want to rewind and look at it again. The leads are awesome and do a great job. Good Blade Runner vibe. I saw it twice about a year apart and I'm ready to see it again - and I consider myself picky about movies. Again - don't let the naysayers with all the exaggeration fool you (worst movie ever!!!), I think you'll enjoy this if you like the trailer.
