Marking a new era

As well as being an all-round sci-fi epic, 'Total Recall' is also a very important piece of Hollywood history.

The 1990 film marked one of the final times a blockbuster still heavily relied on miniatures and props before CGI became the go-to technique for movie visual effects.

Even so, 'Total Recall' was also one of the first major films to utilise both the techniques of old as well as the new technology, and so is remembered as one of Hollywood's early attempts at bringing CGI to cinema.
