Uh, hard to know what's what and what's "now" and what's not??

I was so intrigued by this movie that I kept watching it, from time to time, and I still had a lot of questions about it. Perhaps this quote by Roger Ebert (bless his soul, and I wish he was still with us.), may explain it best, to wit a Roger Ebert's quote he wrote in his review, who with his keen insight, says it much better than I.

"It has one of those plots that doubles back on itself like an Escher staircase. You get along splendidly one step at a time, but when you get to the top floor you find yourself on the bottom landing." (Roger Ebert)

There's No Escaping Your Karma!

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2020

People like to think money can solve all their problems, but what if your problem is you? All the money in the world can’t buy someone else to live your life right for you, exercise, eat right, treat people, animals, or the environment right, or meditate for you. Free Will and Karma, or, “As ye sew, so shall ye reap.”, or Cause and Effect, are Universal Laws and therefore incontrovertible. Many people find these truths disturbing, and indeed, so does Tom Cruise’s entitled character in this movie who thinks he’s above having consequences for his actions.

Life’s a bio-feedback mechanism, the best teaching system in existence designed to help you become your “Best Self”; most people live in denial of their Life’s Lessons, don’t learn or grow much, and remain lazy, ignorant, dishonest slobs their entire lives.

By far the best acting you will see from Tom Cruise is in this movie

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2019

I wonder if anyone has ever understood this movie by just seeing once. I've seen it twice (before purchasing it on Amazon) and will be putting the missing pieces together when the movie arrives. I am not a big Tom Cruise fan but movies I have seen of his I have to say this movie really shows his "acting" ability. A psychological thriller and written in a way that has you wondering WHAT the heck is going on is a brilliant movie seller and one that if you originally saw it at a movie theater you probably went back 2 or3 times to solve it.
The first time I saw this movie it was on regular (not pay tv) and couldn't figure it out for anything. Then it came on
a couple of time recently and still haven't gotten it figured out yet but it is such a great movie the way it messes with
not just Tom Cruise's head but the audience's as well. I do highly recommend this movie.

Depressing.

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2020

This is a good movie. It is the kind of movie that you cannot write much about without spoiling anything.

Things that are easy to compliment without giving anything away are the solid acting, directing that feels brisk even with a 2h 16m runtime, the incredible soundtrack, and how it continues to surprise, even when you think you have it figured out. The screenplay is endlessly creative, loaded with callbacks, twists, and turns. The cinematography is incredibly clever and memorable, and the movie even makes a point to show you how clever some of it had been.

It is not all great, however. There are a few things that I think viewers should be aware of before going in.

The first is that this is a mishmash of several genres. It is heavily a romance movie, it is bizarrely a sci-fi movie, it is also distinctly a fantasy movie, and still manages to be a mystery on top of it all. You need to be ready for all of these genres to have huge impacts on the movie, and if you have particular distaste for any one of them you will struggle to enjoy this.

The second is that the film ends itself rather abruptly and in quite an unfulfilling manner. Nobody loves this film for the ending, it actually cheapens everything that came earlier.

The third is that this movie is far far darker than I was aware. This movie is willing to delve into dark places in every one of the aforementioned genres, and it absolutely wallows in despair. I never expected this movie to delve this deeply into misery and melancholy. Though the ending does alleviate some of the sorrow, the movie spends a long time completely submerged in it.

I really was not in the mood for such a depressing film. It was well made, but I was not happy I had seen it afterwards.

Dont judge this movie by its name, you will be AMAZED at how great it is!

As with all Tom Cruise movies i did not expect this one to be great becuase of its name. To my shock it was better then most of the mission impossible movies combined. Romance, betrayal and climax at the end of the movie. Greed from the board of directors (seven dwarfs) i thought were in the plot till the very end to realize Tom was only dreaming all that time of over 150 years, OMG, thats a long dream spam. I will not judge a movie by its title anymore! Movie is six stars easily and Toms performance unbelievable as EXPECTED!

Good but might be tough to watch, until the end.

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2020

Overall a good movie, but was kind of annoying. Many unnecessarily cringeworthy scenes as directed by the director, for some reason. Unnecessary, embarrassing movements and lines, overly-extended and therefor awkward scenes and illogical scenes that were placed just to help illustrate what the movie was talking about (derangement) even though in the moment it caused me confusion and frustration (which I never care to experience.) I don't care if it was an accurate display of derangement it made it not fun to watch. Don't turn it off about 85% thru, keep watching to the end, you are finally allowed to be relieved. The acting was superb, however.

Excellent Film..But may not be for everyone

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2013

Vanilla Sky is one of those films that lingers in your mind after viewing,It is the story of a rich arrogant man (Tom Cruise) who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth due to his father leaving him a publishing empire.It is also about the consequences of his actions,and about not being careless with people.In making a decision to get into a car with someone David (Cruise)ends up paying one hell of a price when his life is altered forever,in the process he loses his good looks,he loses the woman he loves Sofia (Penelope Cruz)and almost loses his empire as well as his mind in the process.I realize that this film is based or inspired by a spanish one called Abre los Ojos i unfortunately haven't seen it so i will not compare both films,what i will say is that Vanilla Sky is in my opinion a rare film that makes the viewer think and feel many things..I highly recommend it for anyone that has not yet seen it.

Complicated story with a great soundtrack and some nice cars

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 12, 2019

Verified Purchase

This film has a complicated story and I had to watch it a couple of times before I really fully understood it. Not your run of the mill Tom Cruise film and for the most part not a cheerful film. The film has a great soundtrack which is available on CD. There's also some really nice cars in the film but sadly none of them get driven like they were stolen, more's the pity. Not least there is one really funny scene that I found memorable and worth the price of the film alone - when you see it you'll most likely agree.

Vanilla Sky for me is Tom Cruise best performance and film, and I just love this film.

The picture and sound is very nice, and you do get some good features, but the alternate ending version is awful, am so glad they stuck with the original. The good news is the Blu-ray is region free,

I just don't like it.

I have tried several times to watch this film, Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz being two of my favorite actors but it does not hold my attention long enough I don't have the stamina to get to the end and the 3 leads just don't gel with each other, the dvd will sit in my cupboard for ever unwatched.

Five Stars

I'm really not a Tom Cruise fan but he is more than bearable in this movie, which is a remake of A Spanish language movie (Open Your Eyes). It's quite difficult to say which is the best version. Vanilla Sky probably wins on the evocative choices of music used in the soundtrack and the unforgettable New York dream sequence where our Tom is the only person in an eerily empty Times Square.

This is sci fi with a heart, as it is really just a love story with a twist....and as it features Penelope Cruz as the love interest, that's a good enough recommendation for many.
