A very good movie

As a kid, I really loved this flick and I'm planning to see this one soon with Nick, my step-son. I remember, back then, I thought it was a fascinating story and I had to watch it a couple of times before understanding it properly (give me a break... I was 10-12 years old!). The best thing about this movie is that it works on so many levels. It is entertaining, it takes place on Mars, there are tons of nice special effects, some sexual tension and a rather thoughtful and intriguing plot. By now, I have watched all the movies directed by Paul Verhoeven (even the old Dutch ones) and this one is one of his best. I just love the story, the actions scenes and the competent special effects. I have seen also most of Schwarzenegger's work and it is my favorite movie he has done (Ok the first 2 Terminator flicks are just behind). A few weeks back, I have seen the remake starring Colin Farrell and even though Farrell is a better actor, Schwarzenegger was actually more convincing. It worked better also because Paul Verhoeven didn't spend all his time with some action scenes but also gave us some time to get know Doug Quaid and root for the guy. Anyway, to conclude, I really loved it and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
