    A terrible remake of Spanish film Open your eyes. Kurt Russell's performance was good but everything else in this film is awful. Cruise & Crowe are probably my least favourite director/actor partnership ever!

    This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. So boring and pointless.

    I enjoyed this movie. I thought about it alot after watching it. Cruise does a good job in this one. Want to see "Abre los Ojos" which it is based on.

    Brian: We almost died, man... And do you know what I saw?
    David: What?
    Brian: Your all life flashing in front of me...
    David: And how was it?
    Brian: Almost worth dying for...

    Tom Cruise is given the chance to play a rich, handsome, playboy with women problems. Not too far of a ...( read more)stretch. Anyway, he and Cameron Crowe reunite to make a different kind of movie. Instead of a light romantic comedy, we get a trippy, rollercoaster ride of a movie, full of interesting ways to interpret it.

    Describing this movie is a challenge, so I wont go into too much detail, but it involves Cruise playing David Ames, a rich boy, working as the owner in his father's former company. He meets a new girl, spends a wonderful night with her, and then a tragic event changes his life. He becomes a different person, where even his mind begins to mess with him. Its a strange sort of romance drama, with a reality warp-type twist.

    Sofía: I'll tell you in another life, when we are both cats.

    There is also a very good supporting cast that includes Penelope Cruz who has very good chemistry with Cruise and played the same role in the original version of this film, Cameron Diaz as more than a ditzy blonde, which is nice. Then we also have Kurt Russel, who just can't dial down his coolness in whatever he's in and Jason Lee in complete, hilarious sidekick mode.

    Dr. Curtis McCabe: My favorite Beatle was once John. Now it's... Paul.

    The soundtrack, like in all Crowe movies is great. It's one of my favorites, especially the song written by Paul McCartney for this movie, "Vanilla Sky."

    If Crowe had more experience in crafting this type of movie, it could have been even better, but it's still good. It works for me because of how different it is to see Cruise almost playing himself in a way, thrown into a wild mess of a life. It's also certainly better on repeated viewings, due to various interpretations and being able to pick up on more little moments.

    Edmund: There are no guarantees, but remember: Even in the future, the sweet is never as sweet without the sour.

    A surprisingly intelligent and exciting movie altogether. It's a romance/thriller with a bit of science fiction thrown in. Suberb acting from Cruise and Cruz. It has a very enjoyable (maybe annoying for some) ending that will make you want to enjoy it a first time then watch it a...( read more)gain to get the full impact. Gotta be one of film's most surprising and entertaining endings.

    For some reason, this one remains a classic for my wife and I. Absolutely loved it.

    intriging flick that is insane to try and follow but pulss you back in now and then due to cruise's ability as an actor more than anything. Weird film that i still cant quite put my finger on, which i think is bad. I think ...
