They were so insignificant that the movie spent a whopping three minutes to wipe them out. Come on! That sad sack of dudes was what the government had its panties in a knot about? Come on…

He goes to Rekall, gets set, and then things go bam. Absolutely clear its not a dream, concept never holds up.

Was the answer too obvious in the new version? I actually thought they did it rather well. Had me going for a while, anyway!

Consider the “10 second Martian terraforming method” in the original. Nonsense, but the abiding question is what counts.

Its not a TR movie without that central problem and question.
