 - NMy Blu-ray looks awesomeI'm not sure about the reviewers here who claim that this is a terrible Blu-ray quality transfer because they see blocking, spotting and other artifacts. I've watched my Blu-ray disc 3 times in the last week and I see nothing wrong with the image quality. Great details, great colors, no blocking or compression artifacts. I wonder if the reviewers who see image quality issues on their disc have the settings on their TV or DVD player set wrong, or it they just have a crummy TV. I'm playing my disc on a PS3 into a Sony SXRD 55" projection LCD TV. I have everything set at 1080p/24 and my TV is set to 120Hz connected via HDMI, and the image is stunning. Some of the reviewers here who say their Blu-ray looks like a poor transfer state that their disc has an audio commentary with Arnold or they have a metal case. Well, my Blu-ray has NO commentary (the only extra is the "Vision of Mars" featurette) and it came in the standard Blu-ray case, so either they have an earlier version of Blu-ray or they're looking at a standard-def disc. The only questionable image quality comes at the beginning of the film where the Lionsgate logo plays. This looks like it was captured from a VHS. But overall, the film looks great and I see a definite image quality boost above my standard-def DVD. Total Recall is one of the better Schwarzenegger movies, especially if you like Sci-Fi stories. Of course, Sharon Stone looks great too, so that's reason enough to own this disc. Aside from 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround, it also has DTS HD High Resolution ES Audio. I hear a difference (a fuller sound from the HD audio), but neither my PS3 or receiver handle this audio format, so I'm not sure what I'm missing. I highly recommend this Blu-ray disc. Rating: - Arnold and Stone!!!!!!Stone before she turned into Hollyweirds biggest nympho. Arnold, before he was the Governator. Great special effects for its time. A fantastic story set on Mars. The mutated humans are freaky cool. Great directing, great acting, great everything. Arnold made some pretty bad movies but he also made some of the best ones ever. Total Recall is definitely one of the better ones out there. A must see for action, sci fi fans. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Rating:  - Funny Action MovieI used to watch this at least once a year when I was younger so its basically a nostalgic trip for me. The action is on par with other movies of its type at the time, the fluidity of the story is sweet, and it always keeps you guessing what is going to happen next. I swear every time I watch this movie I learn something new about the story, which can be confusing to some. Arnie also has some pretty outrageous scenes which are memorable. Well worth it for me Rating: - Oh, the beauty of Hi-DefI was very happy to find this movie released in the High definition (Blu-Ray) format. A classic Arnold movie, in my opinion, one his best; a must have for any fan of a good sci-fi action movie. I find myself entertained with this movie, even after having seen it many times before. If you do not have a high definition system, get one, for many movies just like this one, just like The Fifth Element and Stargate, to name a few of my personal favorites. Sure, there are some things a bit far-fetched in this film's story line, but hey, it's an entertaining story, with cool twists, and fun to watch. So relax and crank up the sound. Rating:  - Price Was About RightThis movie was not transferred to BD very well. Lot's of artifacting or spots or whatever the experts call it. It was cheap and I didn't already have the movie so I didn't mind much. By far the worst looking of my collection. I have "The Cowboys" on BD which is a much older movie. It did not have the artifacting that TR did.
