Yes this trailer looks every bit as bland and generic as the teaser from early April. And yes the lack of creative imagination that would cause Sony to spend $200 million on a painfully similar remake of a 1990 sci-fi thriller is disturbing and perhaps a sign of the end times. But I'm not going to whine. First of all, I damn-well have the choice to not see this thing when it drops on August 3rd. Second of all, and I'll be getting into this tomorrow if time allows, but we're slowly entering an era where studios seem to be remembering that not every film in the tent can or should be a tent-pole. So for now, feast your eyes on the raging mediocrity that is the trailer for Total Recall. Is there really any one who is honestly excited for this?
