Summary: Vanilla Sky : The Most Creative Movie Ever....
Review: I can't tell you anything about this movie. That would spoil everything this movie is about. It's too complicated to get into. I must say however, this is without question one of the most creative movies these eyes have ever seen....Vanilla Sky isn't just a movie, it's a trip into the subconscience mind. Don't let any of the bad reviews keep you from at least seeing this masterpiece. T. Criuse is awesome, and his character in Vanilla Sky almost makes you feel like this could be anyone of us witnessing these experiences he's going through.... It's a MUST SEE. I bought this the day after I saw it because quite simply, it's one of the most creative, and imaginative movies I've ever seen.... A MUST BUY!!!

Summary: Imitation Vanilla leave a bad taste
Review: This movies dragged on and on. By the time I was two thirds of the way through the movie I didn't care anymore. Oh Tom Cruise was an insensitive butthead and ended up scarred for life, boo-frickin'-hoo. He did have a cool alarm clock though.

Summary: "Forgive me; I'm blowing your mind."
Review: I've heard a lot of people, including supposedly intelligent movie critics, call this movie "incohesive" and "incomprehensible." I hate to say it, but these people are either stupid or just not trying. I love some incomprehensible movies (Lost Highway, Angel Dust), but this just isn't one. Every detail of this movie fits into place. Everything makes perfect, logical sense. If you don't get it, watch it again. If you still don't get it, well, go back to your action movies. This is not to say that Vanilla Sky is perfect. For all its virtues -- excellent soundtrack, beautiful cinematography, painfully evocative and emotion-wrenching writing -- it really does drag out its ending too long. I don't want to give anything away, but the very last part could easily have been clipped by five minutes, especially some of the "oops-it's-Hollywood-we-need-a-moral!" stuff. Other than that, though, one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen. Highly recommended to anyone with a taste for reality-bending and beautifully-resolved confusion.

Summary: I Felt Cheated
Review: I can't say this was a horrible movie, but it definitely was not a good movie. OK maybe it was bad. The biggest problem with this film is the convoluted plot. At this end of the movie you feel as if you wasted money (on the purchase or rental of this DVD) and time (you could have watched something else). By the end, you really just don't care about anything related to the characters. Even their pretty faces can't save it.

Summary: sexy, spell-binding, haunting
Review: A great soundtrack coupled with slick, haunting direction makes this sexy and spell-binding thriller one of the year's best. Vanilla Sky takes over where the Spanish original "Abre Los Ojos" left off, and with a bigger budget and stronger supporting leads, is arguably the superior.

Summary: Primer on Scientology
Review: Tom Cruise is a believer in the principles of Scientology and Dianetics. This film seems to be a vehicle to explain in movie form the attainment of being a "Clear", that is, one who has learned how to keep the analytical mind in control over the reactive mind. In the film Vanilla Sky, Cruise allows his reactive mind to rule his life after a disfiguring accident in which a former girl friend is killed. He allows his reactive mind to continue to replay all the scenes, or engrams in Scientology parlance, restimulating him into a neurotic state, until at the very end of the film he realizes he has to make a choice. His life falls into place and he is free to start over with new directives. His life was immoral,"frozen", now it is based on new information. He is free, and "Clear".

Summary: Vanilla Sky- Interesting and Perplexing
Review: Vaniia Sky, starring Tom Cruise and from writer/director Cameron Crowe was interesting. The plot at first seemed very simple and straightfoward, yet it was confusing and bewildering, but yet entertaining. I liked the film, it was handsome and fairly sophisticated. The film was better than I anticipated and hoped. Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz and Jason Lee all make this movie great.
Tom Cruise stars as David Ames, an arrogant and narcissistic
executive of an elite company. He has a girlfriend or make like a casual bed partner named Julie, played by gorgeous Cameron DIaz. At his birthday party he soons departs from his previous relationshop with Julie and falls for attractive and appealing, Sofia, played by beautiful Penelope Cruz. He falls in love intimately with her. Soon his ex-lover, Julie becomes suicidal and desperate and invites him for a ride in her car. Soon the rides from a death-defying stunts, in other words she drives off a bridge. She dies, but Cruise survives with a grotesque and gruesomely disfigured face. He begins to live in a world of dreams and nightmares and can't comprehend the differences between reality and dreams.
A good suspsnse thriller, with pulse-pounding drama and effects. Love, Hate, Dreams, Life, Work, Play, Friendshiip, Sex is what this film is about. Vanilla Sky, rated R for Sexuality and Strong Language. So, a choice which requires research first.
Own Vanilly Sky now, on Video and DVD.

Summary: Beautiful, Excellent
Review: Great movie, one of my all time favorites, you really have to pay attention and keep an open mind. Its somewhat difficult to follow but if you are patient and like complex movies you'll be awarded in the end. The ending of the movie is one of the best I've ever seen, Tom is great, Penelope is beautiful. A lot of people don't like the movie but if you like to think and dream its for you. (Its not simple but in the end its all explained and it has a dreamlike like quality to it) Don't miss it!!
