| Cape Argus / The Star Theresa Smith  Recalling better sci-fi movies. | 10 |  |
| Die Burger Anna-Retha Bouwer Groter en blinker, maar nie beter. | 10 | |
| Cape Times Justin Lowe The outcome is engaging enough but not entirely satisfying. | 10 | |
| Box Office Kate Erbland Nothing worth pondering... or recalling | 5 |  |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Total Recall is well-crafted, high energy sci-fi. Like all stories inspired by Philip K. Dick, it deals with intriguing ideas. It never touched me emotionally, though, the way the 1990 film did, and strictly speaking, isn't necessary. | 15 |  |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli | 10 | |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers This Total Recall will make you feel robbed as well. It's two hours you'll never get back and every minute is a bad memory. | 5 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer While it boasts some impressive action sequences, Total Recall lacks the intricate plotting, wry humor, and fleshed out characters that made the original a sci-fi classic. | 6 | |
