I have pretty much no idea what to make of this movie. It totally messes with your head and even the resolution which is supposed to make everything clear can't make up for how much your head has been fucked up over the previous two hours. The really weird part is how it totall...( read more)
very confusing film that may or may not needed to be made. the cast is good but fails in direction after first hour.
David Aames (Tom Cruise) appears to lead a charmed life. Handsome, wealthy and charismatic, the young New York City publishing executive's freewheeling existence is enchanting, yet he seems to be missing something. Then, in one night David meets Sofia (Penelope Cruz), the girl of...( read more)
This is a twist on the original version of this character, conceived as a wholly arrogant and willfully ignorant guy, harder to like than a character Tom Cruise would play (even his dick-salesman in Magnolia has his redemptive tears). As you probably already know, Vanilla Sky is ...( read more)
Unique, imaginative, breathtaking, but maybe too melodramatic. Tom Cruise arguably gave his top performance(rivaled by "Magnolia") which gave the purely visual film its beating heart. An above-average film that is very beautiful, yet very hard to swallow all in one sitting.
This movie was allot of things to me. It was strangely beautiful, oddly touching. Complex, brilliant, stunning , grand, outrageously entertaining; need I go on? Vanilla Sky was a movie at first I didn't think I would like but after awhile I saw that there was more too it tha...( read more)
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!
I liked it, specially for the depressing and sinking style of directing by Mr. Crowe within the film, but Amenabar did a far superior work.
55/100
What an expensive price to pay to be happy! How could he not even think of plastic surgery if he can afford it? For as long as what plays on his mind is all good, it did not matter to him if what's really happening is the opposite.
This movie reminds me of a very dark point in my life. I need that memory in order to balance the equation of me and how I treat others. I have learned this:
Every passing moment is an opportunity to turn it all around.
-----Penelope Cruz
-----Vanilla Sky
start is cool but as the story goes on, its getting kinda cheep.
beautiful but thats all.....
Amazing performance by Tom Cruise. A twisted view at life and it's twisted turns and sometimes psychedelic points of views.
I really don't understand why this movie gets so many bad reviews......seriously. It's lovely in almost every aspect that a film can be described.
it wasn't until the end of the movie that i found out the movie was sci-fi/romance. it was GOOD, for me. it wasn't as bad as what my friends told me. Though it was a bit confusing, i think it's only understandable as it was supposed to be surreal, like a dream. Dreams don't make ...( read more)
I usually enjoy weird/freaky/psycho movie but this one didnt quite cut it for me. Started off well but then took a total downfall and left something to be desired.
This movie is a trip down kooky lane. The acting in this movie is SUPERB. I'm not a huge Cruise fan, but he scored big wtih me in this one. Cruz plays a character you can fall in love with, and the movie itself is a good watch, if you're into the whole headfuck thing.
It begins with sweeping overhead shots of a New York City slowly succumbing to the chill of late fall. As the camera moves closer, it seems to blink and on the soundtrack we hear the first dialog of the film. "Open your eyes" followed by the foreboding tones of Radiohead's Everyt...( read more)
What if life suddenly crashed? Would you choose between harsh reality or sweet illusion? What if they both got all mixed up? Can emotions overcome the thoughts? You'll just have to see...
Do you remember what you told me once? That every passing minute is a another chance to turn it all around.
A very complicated movie where I several times didn´t understand it. The point will be clear in the end, but I was too confused to think this actually was good. The acting is great and there was some charmy moments, but the plot is my problem. A longer life in dreams for the spir...( read more)
I don't understand this movie at all. Maybe it's because I didn't see the very beginning or maybe it's because it's really just crazy!
Interesting, but it seems like they were trying too hard to be "out there". Enjoyable, but I don't know if I would watch it again.
