Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1990 sci-fi action flick is one of my most-watched childhood movies -- which is a strange thing to say about a film that includes a hooker with three boobs, but I was a child of 90s. That meant my parents were rarely home.

So when I heard Colin Farrell would be starring in a remake of the film I was more than dubious -- I was straight up angry. Why mess with perfection?

But director Len Wiseman was very clear in telling fans, like myself, that his was a retelling of Philip K. Dick's original novel, which Arnold's film strayed far from plotwise.

For example, 2012's Total Recall never even goes to Mars. But while there will be differences, there will also be a lot of similarities, as you can see in this CGI-loving new trailer.

Total Recall hits theaters on August 3.
