Hi long time viewer first time commenter I was wondering if you would consider if you would do a Lost in Adaptation of The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Book was released in 2005 Movie was released in 2013. I would really like to hear your thoughts on the book and movie. please let me know as soon as you can (sorry if that sounds pushy I don't mean to be). I look forward to hear from you thanks. PS hope living in the US go's well.

The thing about "the colony" having more space but the cities seeming as if not more crowded, could be excused by saying it's population is situated in a similar manner to Australia now; meaning that most of the population is along or near the coast, with the outback having sparse permanent human settlements.

Oh no, I was looking forward to this review so much (because I haven't actually watched the movie) but then the warning came up right away :( Thank you, however, for adressing this issue... You can't imagine how much I appreciate that. Too many content creators nowadays don't care putting up warnings for things like epilepsy and the likes, and it's much more common than one might think. Well, I guess it's a good thing then that I decided to not watch this movie in cinemas back when it came out! Greetings from Germany ♥

The fact that Kate Beckinsale's character spends the entire move with her hair down drives me crazy! I am a woman with long hair and I personally can't stand in in my face which is actually why I have it long so I can put it in a bun or ponytail. Just watch the action scenes, besides making it easier to switch her out with a body double it is always in her face! How does she see? They should have been able to kill her right away because she was blinded by all of her hair! At 5:06 you can see that her entire face is covered, there is no way in a real fight she would have know were everyone was.

Oh I understand that and flowing hair can be seen as sexier, it is just something that as a person with long hair bugs me like nails on a chalkboard. That is probably more about my hang ups then anything else. I know they also probably did it to help differentiate between the two female leads, I agree with The Dom should have made one blond or something.

Agree 100%. I've had long hair my whole life and I tie it up whenever I'm doing anything more strenuous than a casual walk. I'm so tired of women in action scenes with long flowing hair when that would make no goddamn sense. But men don't think hair tied up is sexy, so of course that usually takes precedence. It makes me so happy on the rare occasions when you see a character tie up her hair before fighting.

at the 8:13 mark, the plan that the Colony has space the Federation could use, but it looks more crowded than the Federation; that's why the army of robots was necessary, to kill everyone in the Colony and free up all that space for Federation residents. I did love the visuals on this movie, the idea of building up since theirs nowhere else to go, the tetris looking buildings, the magnetized freeways so one can drive above and below the roads, the hand phones, fun stuff.

Honestly the fact that you put a warning for epilepsy really meant a lot to me. People leave that out so much and while I don’t have epilepsy, I do have triggers that are similar that sometimes makes my face twitch painfully and my eyes hurt. Bombastic sounds and strobing of flashing lights are definitely a problem and if they surprise me it gets so much worse. So it was really nice that you thought about that :)

You said from 9:14 on, "What's very interesting about this film is that it seems to take a lot of influence from other adaptations of Phillip K. Dick's books, like Minority Report and Blade Runner. Sort of an amalgamation adaptation of adaptations." Personally, I think this sounds appropriate for an adaptation of Phillip Dick novel. There were more than a few elements and themes that he included in his stories. Different forms of government in no way connected to our own today, the appearances of some kind of representation of god and sometimes an anti-god character, aliens who know more about the plot than you do and are not very helpful, reality degradation, and so on. Adaptations all borrowing from other adaptations to create common movie themes and images in Phillip Dick adaptions sounds homage-like to me. Awesome reviews as always, all three of them.

I was hoping you'd reference the scene where Quaid and Mac quote the book: "An illusion, no matter how convincing, is sill just an illusion." Did you also notice that Quaid is reading a James Bond novel on the Fall? Film Brain put it best when he noted that the original smartly serves as both an example and parody of the over-the-top mindless action flick since part of the plot involves a fantasy centered around such things. This means that Quaid has paid Rekall to be Arnie or it's that he really IS Arnie and so would do just these things. Adds more fuel to the ambiguity.

If I ever wanted to see a more faithful adaptation of the short story it would have been David Cronenberg's Unmade script of 'Total Recall'. Nonetheless, I do consider the setting for this film as a poor futuristic recreation of Australian colonization over British rule, not to mention as an Australian I'm offended they did nothing to hinder this film with anything Australian in it. You could've just had Earth and nothing else in it and it wouldn't have made a difference. Thanks for all three videos Dom, keep up the great work.

i doubt they actually thought this far ahead but i always thought the fake wife and rebel girlfriend looked so similar to lend to the it all being a dream thing because in his real world he does actually have someone he loves and she's a mix of the two in terms of looks and just my imagination adding to this possible scenario it could represent the part of her he fell in love with and the part of her that drove him to recall in the first place with her being angry and yelling all the time and them constantly fighting so he goes to get a memory in which he goes on some sort of adventure to get some idea of how to rekindle the love they felt before and again the dude suggest hey for a little extra you could get a premium package where you could be a secret double agent which leads into the main story (explaining some of the things which are like other movies because they exist in his world and little inconsistencies and dumb stuff in the film) and maybe the part where the friend goes in to convince him he's still in recall is actually real but because he wants the fantasy to be real so bad he see's his perfect fantasy of his wife hurt by the whole situation making her cry and in his delusional state he shoots his friend making him sink further into the fantasy and by the end he just doesn't want it to all be a dream so he suppresses the thought of it all being fake (which is his subconscious fighting to make him wake up or recall trying in vain to tell him it's not real) cementing his state of being in a vegetative state permanently just my thought's and general rewrite i suppose but i personally think this would be cool P.S dear reader sorry for the run on sentence I'm terrible at just ending a sentence

Hi The Dom, recently I rewatched the entire series of sherlock, I'm English and it's one of my personal favourite TV shows in recent memory (the others being Game Of Thrones and Arrested Development) just wondering could you ever compare S2 E3 of Sherlock with the short story "The Final Problem" and the film "Sherlock Holmes Game of Shadows" which both are based on the short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and is a really interesting and famous story. The hound of the basket villas episode would be great aswell but I think this one's better asyou've got a more modern film to compare it with aswell. If you could do a couple episodes on this them would be great. Btw keep up the brilliant content as your videos really got me back into reading (I'm 16 so consider it a achievement).

I hadn't read the books or seen the 1990 film when I first watched this and I ended up enjoying it quite a bit, same as you said that the Arnie flick felt like quintessential 80s cheese this to me felt like quintessential 2000s action flick. I do think I like the older one better now because theres just something about Arnie back in the day I just find too entertaining. Still enjoyed this one tho, Farrel did a good job as a action lead in a dystopia-ish situation, and Kate Beckingsale and Jessica Biel just made the film for me, I admit that if recall existed id have skipped the whole spy thing and just got the fake memories of them fighting over me, seems like a much better and less convoluted fake memory

Well done on the "other self" interactions. Except for the plodding shuffle off screen. I get it, but after taking the whole thing half way seriously, I then have to chuckle to myself that you all may be part penguin...

its almost as if Bill Nighy & Bryan Cranston casting choices were red herrings.... Ethan Hawke showing up for some reason makes me see this movie as tryin to tie into Predestination, even tho that one is from 2014!

I'm not sure it's entirely fair to blame the reboot's failure _entirely_ on not having Arnie. The lack of his star power and expectation-setting...ness sure didn't help matters, but this version has other issues. The biggest one I can see is all the details and plot elements hanging around for no apparent reason. For instance, people can easily accept that Earth is oppressing Mars, but changing the setting to Britain and Australia opens up all sorts of unneeded questions that either aren't resolved or aren't resolved in a way that adds anything beyond closing up a plot hole they made themselves. This isn't a problem if the change has enough positives on its own, but I can't see _anything_ it adds other than making it easier to turn the story into a bad American Revolution allegory (which doesn't fit with the rest of the story at all) and justifying the normal gravity and white casts.

Trivia: Before Quaid goes to Rekall, he's shown reading _'The Spy Who Loved Me'_ while riding The Fall.

I hate how vengeful Kate’s character is towards Doug, they were only married for like 6 wks yet she’s SO determined to kill him, against specific orders, simply because she thinks he’s a traitor?

Yes, I know, late to the party here and I've seen this review a couple of times. One of the things that really bugs me about this film vs. the ARnie film is that there's no longer any reason, AT ALL, for Hauser to become Quaid. That was done because Martian /psychics/. :) The whole deal with that was because Quoato could sense a spy incoming and the only way around that was to erase Hauser. Granted, that kinda falls down a little too, if you think about it too hard, but there it is. In the new one, without there being the psychic angle, no more reason to do that and any old assassin would do.

Interesting unrelated factoid: Arnie was filthy rich BEFORE becoming an actor thanks to a construction business.

I would say that reason the reboot did not work was not because they tried to make an Arni film without Arni. Its because they tried to make a Verhoeven film without Verhoeven. They guy has a unique aesthetic and Dutch humor that can be both subtle and over the top at the same time. Plus he is a batter filmmaker than most. That is why the original worked. They made the same mistake with Robocop.

BL 2049 was amazing and also more slow and less action based. GitS (2017) was much more like this one. Lots of action and really bad.

I really hope the people who designed the visuals off this movie goes on to make some fantastic sci fi movies. Cause this is in my opinion among the best sci fi city designs I’ve ever seen, and it’s a pity it’s wasted on a forgettable story.
