This is not a remake.
You won't have Mars in it, and mutants, and especially that mutant guy crawling out from the stomach, and you won't have a leading hero.

But you will have a badass Kate Beckinsale who kicks ass and looks more badass'ery than Sharon Stone did.
Kolin Farrell' character is the guy who keeps frowning at everything throughout the whole movie.
Jessica Biel was okay, but for a chick-flick movie, she wasn't active enough. In original this character was way more tougher.
She does bring something remotely action'y to the table only when she fights with Kate's character. My femslash senses were tingling.

After ending titles scrolling down and me finding out that Len Wiseman was directing this movie, I was not surprised that his wife looks like a leading character in it. And let me tell you, Kate does it for the movie, she is the charismatic part of it, ans she is a sight for sore eyes. Guess, that was the plan.

For me, it was a movie to lust over Kate. But it is not Total Recall.
