Advantages: Good escapist movie

Disadvantages: None

This is the classic 1990 Action/Sci Fi movie set in the future the movie is full of great gadgets such as the car that is driven by a dummy and drives you anywhere you want to go by itself (can't understand why they havn't invented this already).
The film is set in 2084 AD and is about Douglas Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger) a construction worker who has recurring nightmares about the Planet Mars that is a sucsessful mining planet that has been colonised although he has never actualy been there or so he thinks.
Quaid decides to visit a virtual reality inplant store(Rekall Inc) that gives you false images of your desired fantasy and the visit tips his brain over the edge.
Quaid is not who he seems to be and has been given a false identity to protect his true one, his wife is not really his wife and he realises he must go to Mars to solve the mystery of who he is.

When he gets to the planet after disguising himself he seeks the rebel force and their leader Kuato to discover the reasoning for his nightmares.
The inhabitants of Mars are dependant on the flow of oxygen that is controlled by villanous Vilos Cohaggen(Ronny Cox).
Though he discovers his true identity is that of Mars Intelligence agent Hauser he knows he must do the right thing by the inhabitants of Mars.
A great fantasy adventure film with some great future gadgets and a great lesson of mans greed.
The film was nominated for 2 Oscars and although Arnie dosen't say a lot as isusual the film is well worth a watch if you havn't seen it.
Running time is 109 minutes.

Summary: great fantasy/sci fi movie
