Obama face is not rare, is subliminal image projected into a future which is probably nothing more -in real life- than pressing the remot control button "rewind" from the last part of history (epilogue) to the very beginning (prologue). The remake film wiped out totalitarian Mars real history and inserted a false future on earth with unreal elevator passing through the earth's core.
What I did like from the original movie is main character not only is Quaid but also BRUBAKER who was the astronaut from film Capricorn One about a FALSE TRIP TO MARS and this inspiration
