>-Only thing I though was dope was the highway case scene with >the floating cars.
I hate chase scenes, period. Only chase scenes I've ever actually enjoyed were the ones from the Bourne Trilogy and Taken. Other than that, they are always the worst part of any movie for me, and this is no exception.... So I suppose I really can't comment on this since I just hate them in general.
>-What the fuck was with the dubstep score that was >overwhelming at various parts?
It fit the tone and scenery perfectly IMO. My only gripe is that, as with 98.3367% of all movies these days, it just gets too damn loud. That's with most big budget/action/sci fi flicks though, so IMO it doesn't really hold up as a critique of this one.
>-The whole post-Apocalyptic with two cities on the entire >planet and we go to both by going through the Earth's core was >dumb.
Can't say I was a fan of that either. Not the best idea.
>-They threw in a 3 titted prostitute for shits and giggles. In >the OG one at least it made sense why the bitch has 3 tits.
Shits and giggles? Most remakes do things like this as a nod to the OG. It didn't need to make sense why she had three tits, because we ALL know why they put it there. It took up like 5 seconds of screen time, she told him where to go to Rekall, and that was that. I'd hardly say this is worth griping about in the slightest. It was a nod to the original and that's all.
>-They don't go to Mars, so we never get the classic line "Get >your ass to Mars!"
SMH. Three out of five of your critiques are trivial at best. Dubstep, three titted women from Earth, and the lack of a line saying "get your ass to mars!" hardly make this movie shit. I'd really like to hear something in depth here to explain why it's "total shit", because I just don't see where these criticisms add up to total shit. ..................
Anyhow...
-the whole concept of, "Hey, the past doesn't make me who I am, RIGHT TODAY makes me who I am" was dope and a nice thread to weave throughout.
-Beal/Beckensile were worthless IMO. There didn't even need to be a semblance of a love story in this IMO. Every scene with Beal in it made me wish she'd die so she wouldn't waste any more screen time. That time could have been spent adding a little more depth and screen time to his ally, or showing how the war went down, some Hauser flashbacks, something. Anything, really.
All we get from Beckensile is glaring "I'm a TOUGH BITCH" looks and a few decent fight scenes. Mathias was..... I dunno.... could have been a more imposing figure. Could have been fleshed out better, as opposed to running with time devoted to Beckensile and Beal.
