Good idea lost in the noise

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

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.

A self-indulgent and vain publishing magnate finds his privileged life upended after a vehicular accident with a resentful lover. Tom Cruise is magnificent in Vanilla Sky and so is the entire rest of the cast as well. The mix of romance, mystery and fantasy will not please everyone i know that but if you give it a fair chance this film will suprise the hell out of you and as it went on and on i started getting more invested into it and the end it reminded me alot of 'Total Recall' to be honest. Overall an amazing film that likes to "play" with the viewer's minds. (A+)

..like Vanilla Sky, it was televised. Finally - finally - finally got a chance to watch this movie. It was okay. I mean yeah, it does drag in some places and gets repetitive however it is original and interesting. And strangely a little forgettable. I am literally trying to remember how it ends. There is a reveal and explanation part and the character is given a choice but I can't recall what he does. And I'm too lazy to read Wikipedia right now.

Extremely moving heartbreaking film. I saw it way back in 2001 and now again on cable... I loved it again. It really plays with your head. Spoiler alert!!! read only if you have seen or don't plan to watchI like the fact that as a viewer it challenges you to not judge David by his new disfigured face, why yesterday he was so charming and attractive the lines he said where so witty and now he seems so pathetic trying to impress Sofia with the same lines and you see Sofia feeling sorry for him and disgusted by his disfigurement and as a viewer you really hate yourself for feeling the same...so dose Sofia. now that is real strong stuff when we are given a mirror to how shallow we really are...how we judge looks...made me quite upset about myself. The movie is about the mind trying to make it alright again. To fix the shatrerd realty like in dreams..its gets out of control...poor David his character is so tragic i cried so much for him at the end...such a sad tragic masterpiece. I did see the original Spanish film its was not as philosophical as vanila sky and tom cruse really can act and has a tender soul. It comes through. Bottom line was: living a daydream is not really living, as the sweet can never be sweet without the souer...yig and yangI would recommend this to anyone that loves sad love storys, fantasy, scify and philosophical films
