It's all pretty lame stuff, tainted further by Mario Azzopardi's frenetic direction. The effects are seamless enough, but pretty much beside the point in a story that feels not just reheated but terminally lukewarm.

For all the high production value, this is a made-for-cable venture that should be left to be fed into descrambler boxes.

It's too bad the filmmakers couldn't come up with original touches instead of recycling stuff that has already become tediously trite.

There have been other, bigger and/or arguably better Philip K. Dick adaptations (see: Total Recall, Minority Report, A Scanner Darkly) but Total Recall 2070 is a worthy entry in the cyberpunk/tech noir canon, and it deserves a second look.

Total Recall 2070 is an enjoyable diversion -- not as scary as The X-Files, but certainly populated with more plausible bogeymen.

The art direction and special effects are pretty cool, but it's simply not enough to make for interesting television.
