The movie, Total Recall, is Si-Fi genre movie. This movie is released in 2012, and it is remake movie of Total Recall (1990). People usually like original movie. Maybe, most people do not live remake movie because there are no remake movie that overcome remake movie. Sometimes, some movie overwhelm prior movie. Total Recall (2012) is one of original overwhelmed movie. Audience can watch various computer graphics. Fantastic Total Recall’s landscape is very realistic. Cars can move with out wheels. Even it can fly! More over, many marvelous things appear, such as mask necklace that can change people’s face, telephone in the body. These scientific imaginary factors help audiences to imagine easily. Imagination is a fun activity, and it is make human to think widely more and more. Sometimes, imagination come trues, such as invisibility cloak, transparent display. It improves human life quality.

This movie reveals the topic “Which thing is the real truth?” Douglas tries to change his memory. However, since the day, he falls in big trouble because of the Recall Company. In the dangerous situation, he does not know which memory is the real memory. He continues conflict whole of the running time.

In my opinion, people should believe what they want to believe. They do not have to care others opinion because people determine people’s life themselves. Many people can not adjust their life because of an uncertainty. They have to have certainty with responsibility. Nobody can live other people's life.
