Wow! Such a good movie.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Forget the reviews and the comments and the negative build up around it. The movie is one of its kind. Its dreamy. And dreams aren't to be controlled. The movie keeps you on the edge (not fast paced though). More of a Mulholland drive kind of. Sometimes you dont have to interpret the meaning of everything. And that dialog, "That smile's gonna be the end of me!" Sit back on the sofa, get cozy, escape from the reality and do treat yourself on this weekend with this moony blanket.

Vanilla Sky is a remake of a Spanish film also starring Penelope Cruz and this is where the problem starts: Many people disregard Vanilla Sky because it is a remake and that it is a mainstream film starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz which tones down the original's approach but they couldn't be more wrong. This is a fantastic quirky, offbeat science fiction film which is good in its own way. Cruise is really good as the rich heir and is ably supported by Cruz, Diaz and Kurt Russell who turns up as his psychiatrist. I suggest you watch this film with an open mind and you will be surprised.

Loved revisiting this and remembering some of the timeless scenes in this classic

Even if I don't always like Tom Cruise, the man, mainly because of his pomposity and his L. Ron Hubbard stuff, I seem to really enjoy his movies. In this one, his character is much like him. He is not heartless, but not far from it. He is spoiled and entitled. He has expectations of others, including women, that he is the be all and end all. One day his life changes when he is in a car with the Cameron Diaz character, whom he actually exploits. She is willing to kill both of them rather than live without him. What follows is one of the most circumlocative plots, with apparent supernatural elements, dream sequence, cryonics, etc. A criticism of this film would be that it is so bizarrely convoluted, that reality is hard to discern. There is some validity to that, but it also makes it incredibly interesting. Sometimes I'd rather see a director or producer try to exceed their grasp. I would also recommend that the previous film "Open Your Eyes" is its own film. Must we always try to demean something because it has an antecedent.
