Was it real or a dream? Because I think there's a lot more evidence for it being a ego trip than being reality.

>Recall tech says "Blue Skys on Mars? That's new." before giving Quaid his implant.
>Nearly all the aspects of Quaid's fantasy are established in the first 20 minutes. The guy that's selling him the vacation even mentions corrupt taxi drivers, which perfectly describes the traitor Benny.
>Dr. Edgemar, who Quaid has seen in a Recall commercial in the beginning, perfectly describes the final part of the movie to Quaid before Quaid shoots him in the head. He even says "The walls of reality will come crashing down" if he kills him and what happens? One of the walls of the room gets crashed through by henchman of Cohagen.

based on a philip k dick book, so all of it was a dream. also, all the characters were robots and didn't realize it.

if it was just an ego trip then why were there all those scenes of the president talking to his goon, those would have been completely out of place in an artificial memory

Personally I think if every scene in the film had arnie in it then it would have been more ambiguous.

>robots

its VR, like the matrix, dumbass

See this movie made it seem real, but maybe it was all a dream.

The remake made obsvously fake

the real question was was Dr. Edgemar really trying to save him or was it just another adventurous part of his ego trip and he'll wake up just fine anyway.. he obviously wouldn't have reached blue skies on mars if he ended the program right there..

the easiest way to know its real is when his friend Harry tells him to not to go and looks at him long, they were all plants to make sure he didnt try to fuck up

The girl he winds up with is literally on the screen at Recall right before they implant. I'd love to think the movie leaves the question ambiguous but that small detail clearly spells it out

I need to rewatch this because I've believed for years that he never left the Recall machine, but someone in a thread the other day swore that there are things in the movie that make it impossible.
