Customer Reviews

Excellent

I agree very much with the view above. The people I speak to about this film either love it or hate it. I find that those who hate it largely dont understand the plot, or have a short attention span. It is a great film, and one for those who like to think differently from time to time. The plot is tricky at times, but if you stick with the challenge you will be thoroughly rewarded at the end. It is one of my favourite films, I am yet to see however it's predorcessor 'Abre los ojos', which I here is even better.

Genius

Combined with the film, Cameron Crowe--adaptation or not--has created a work of brilliance in this screenplay. For those of you who loved the movie I would highly reccomend the screenplay as well for some cut dialogue, additional scenes, and a slightly different ending. In addition, reading the screenplay has further deepened my appreciation for the great acting performances in this movie.

Vanilla Sky + Abre Los Ojos = Great Cinamatic Experience

As an film director/producer, I love this film. However, to truly feel it's soul you must see Alejandro Amenabar's piece, Abre los ojos. I call it a "piece", because I feel that it's a work of art in it's own right. Now, if you view the two films and come away uneffected then never watch another film, stick to movies, i.e. Spiderman, Home Alone, etc... Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, Kurt Russell, Jason Lee, and Cameron Diaz give performances that gel wonderfully and make this a must see. This film will challenge you, you must be prepared to think and feel, and believe me you will.Live the Dream

This is a great screenplay for an equally great movie

The above reviewer is one member of the the group of people who hate this film. Upon viewing this movie, or reading the screenplay, people are divided into two halves: those who love this film with all their harts, and those who hate this film with all their harts. I believe there is no middle ground with this film. It challenges you to love it or hate it. I love it. I loved since the first time I saw it, and since then I have introduced it to many of my friends. Out of the 10 or so people I have gotten to watch it, only two found it unpleasurable. And these two people found Jarassic Park III entertaining. There are normal film goers who are only looking for popcorn fun or easy plotting, this film is not for those people. Read the screenplay, it gives you a better insight on the film. While your at it, watch the movie its based on, Open Your Eyes. Its a Spanish film that is currently available on DVD. Its worth a look if your a fan of Vanilla Sky.
