It takes place in 2084 where it's possible to take a "virtual vacation" to wherever you want. Total Recall is about a man caught up in a mysterious sequence of events that may just alter his life on earth for good, or should I say his life on Mars. Even when the films themselves aren't always the best, I've always found Dick's ideas to be fascinating. Dick short story, which is why it's no surprise this film tries to tackle a whole lot of interesting science fiction proposals. Luckily, most of the time everything comes together nicely. But this time, it's handled with intelligent ideas and thought provoking themes.
