Looks awful. At least they’re not copying the original story but it looks weak. Perversely, Murphy’s death scene was one of the highlights of the original. Looks like a car bomb here which is weak
Well they’ve already **** up Total Recall so why not this too? Might as well do Short Circuit, Top Gun, Terminator and Under Siege while they’re at it.
The ITV dubbed version without the naughty words has entered into folklore.
“Ladies, leave”
“once I even called him airhead”
Remaking it is senseless, haven’t they got any new ideas? Plus as someone said above, they’ll just miss the point. Lucky you can buy the original on DVD for roughly a dollar…
Jesus, that looks terrible. Could be some interesting stuff about “illusion of free will”, but the original was totally different in tone and should have been left alone.
HOWEVER, it gives me the opportunity to post the best youtube video ever.
Murphy spins a handgun on the bonnet of his car, he gets a call at random about Clarence Boddickaaar 😀
The thing is they’ve approached it from the opposite angle. Whereby in the original it was a machine struggling with his own illusion of (still) being human in this tosh it’s a bloke who’s had some machine bits bolted to him. Far less interesting dynamic in my opinion.
