Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell) lives in the crowded colonial Australia with his wife Lori (Kate Beckinsale). He travels to his factory work in Britain thru The Fall, an elevator through the center of the earth. He builds security robots with his friend Harry. He goes to Rekall to implant a created memory as a vacation. All hell breaks loose. Melina (Jessica Biel) is a resistance fighter.
The 1990 original has Arnold Schwarzenegger in campy iconic fun sci-fi action movie. In this one, director Len Wiseman drops any sense of camp or light fun. Arnie's light humor is missed. There is some good action but no chemistry between anybody. The movie doesn't stop for a moment to take a breath. It's either action, action, action, or explain, explain, explain. The ending runs on, and on, and on. Basically it takes too long to finish.
Now we come to The Fall. It's a visually interesting idea, but it makes no real-world sense. It looks good. It has good visuals, but IT MAKES NO SENSE. If The Fall delivers you to another planet, that would be better as a sci-fi concept.
