 Subpar remake of a subpar rip-off of a subpar movie. June 3, 2006
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
The concept is the same as total recall. Vanilla sky had potential, but the viewers hand is held in the end ,like we are retards, and everything is explained in one scene. I did enjoy this movie at one point, but when the entire idea is relayed in the end, it became stupid. Better than alot of Tom Cruise garbage, but not good overall.
 Without the bitter, baby, the sweet ain't as sweet. April 25, 2006

It's important that a movie makes you think and actually feel something. To have a certain mood and personality. This movie includes all. Great direction, great acting, and great music. I find that this movie has a magic to it, and I prefer this movie over the original mainly because of that. "Open Your Eyes" is a good movie, but it didn't have that mojo that "Vanilla Sky" has. Also, I must admit "Vanilla Sky" is much more visually pleasing. However, if you're gonna' own this one, might as well get the original. It's only right.

I watched this movie last evening and I have to say that I have never seen weird, confusing movie since 12 Monkies. I'm still confused.
The plot is pathetic and mindlessly confusing, it's all about lucid dreams and Tom Cruise seeing how many times he can flick his hair in a minute while the cameras on him. The film is basically all a blur from start to finish, it's a dreadful mix of sci-fi nonsense and obvious fake romance. Why on earth would someone want to remake a foreign film with this kind of plot anyway. Don't buy this film on DVD or you'll be wasting your money. I'm sorry if you've found this review uninformative, but since Vanilla Sky is really about nothing whatsoever it's very hard to go into much detail.

I loved this movie. Great acting, great story. Some people might be disappointed if they were expecting a normal romance/drama and don't like the sci-fi turns.

This is a fantastic movie although it takes a bit of time to appreciate it. I saw it in the theater and it struck me as just plain weird and not just because Tom Cruise freaks out when having sex with Penelope Cruz who (in Cruise's mind) suddenly becomes transformed into Cameron Diaz. Yeah he must be nuts. I personally would be saying "Ok, I can deal with this!", but I digress.
The combination of genres is a bit hard to swallow, but therein lays the beauty of Vanilla Sky. It's a movie you'll want to watch again and again.
