Amazon.co.uk Review

A triple-bill of Schwarzenegger at his muscular monosyllabic best:The Running Man is an action thriller based on an early story by Stephen King. When Arnold is chosen as a contestant on the ultimate reality TV show, all hell breaks loose. Cheesy sets and a slimy role for game-show host Richard Dawson make this violent mess of mayhem a candidate for guilty pleasure; it is the kind of movie that truly devoted Arnold fans will want to watch more than once.

Total Recall is the science-fiction blockbuster from 1990, loosely based on Philip K Dick’s short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale". Oscar-winning special effects and violent action propel the twisting plot, in which Arnold manipulates his manipulators in a world of dazzling high technology. Director Paul Verhoeven (RoboCop, Starship Troopers) indulges his usual penchant for gratuitous bloodshed, but the movie has enough cleverness to rise above its excesses.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day is a legitimate sequel: there's more story to tell about a hulking, leather-clad android (Arnold Schwarzenegger) who arrives from the future to protect a rebellious teenager and future leader (Edward Furlong) from being killed by the tenacious T-1000 robot (Robert Patrick), whose liquid-metal construction makes him seemingly unstoppable. The fate of the future lies in the balance, with Linda Hamilton (who would later marry her director) reprising her role as the rugged woman whose son will change the course of history.--Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com

4.0 out of 5 stars Best version available - It's a port of the HD DVD transfer, 11 Aug 2008

(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Total Recall [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I see this product has one review by a sadly misguided soul who thinks this is a bad grainy transfer. First of all, this is the same transfer as the excellent HD DVD version, also the pitch problem has been fixed too. I had owned the US artisan release on Blu-ray prior to this and this is a big improvement on that transfer. The disc is coded region A,B. The sound is 5.1 DTS HD master audio. Due to the lack of any extras it misses the final star for my review. However, in terms of image and sound quality, This is the best version available of this cracking film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality of sound and picture are excellent, 7 Sep 2007
This review is from: Total Recall (2 Disc Special Edition) [DVD] (DVD)
One has to wonder if the reviewer who wrote his review 23 Jul 2007 actually is writing about the same DVD.

My review is in relation to ' Total Recall (2 Disc Special Edition) ' ASIN: B0002VF5SO

My only Complaint is that the aspect ratio is 1.85:1 Anamorphic and not 2.35:1 which I prefer.

Apart from that the quality of sound and picture are excellent and the menus are very amusing.
