It shows a deep lack of respect for the talent, though.

Sure it’s not exactly a 1:1 with the books but I enjoyed them

Lol. Agreed.

The weird part is that it’s nearly a perfect remake for like the first 40 minutes. You can almost call out almost the exact moment when they ran out of budget and decided to CGI bullshit their way through remaining minutes of runtime.

I adore the original, but I’ll die on the hill that the Total Recall remake is great fun and worth watching.
