November 29, 2018 | Crowe seems committed to doing what he wants to do but he's remaking a film that doesn't need to be remade. Crowe is adept at the helm but that's expected. And in that case ... but see the movie and ask the question for yourself.Note: Early in the film, there's an astonishing shot of Tom Cruise absolutely alone in Times Square. Abre Los Ojos ("Open Your Eyes") also featured Penelope Cruz and alot of the shots, expressions and even the costumes are identical which leaves the question, what was the actual point? The main options I can think of are: 1.
As confused as I was, Vanilla Sky still entertained me with it's excellent lead performance, great chemistry between Cruise and Cruz, and interesting portrayal of dreams. There is a character in the movie who refers to a "splice." Hear Us Out: I went to a second screening because after the first screening I thought I knew what had happened, but was nagged by the idea that certain things might not have happened the way I thought they had.

It reveals an entirely different orientation (which I will not reveal even here in the room), and, to be fair, there is a full explanation. "Vanilla Sky" hits some worthwhile moments and impacting emotions, but the overdrawn, over-complicated path that it takes to get to them is riddled with unnecessary turns, not to mention a questionable soundtrack.

Cameron Crowe's vinyl-collector version of "Jacob's Ladder" is a daring gamble paying off even when ambition exceeds his grasp. The performances were great all around, and became the main driving force for my dwindling interest as the film went along. Jennifer Marie Kelley Some surface appeal, but ultimately vacant. Keep that in mind, and it will have you at "What the hell?" Science Fiction & Fantasy It takes plenty of twists and turns to keep your interest enough, but what's the point of a twist if you don't really care where the characters end up?

The movie is about these surprises, however, and so I must either end this review right now, or reveal some of them.OK, for those of us still in the room, and without revealing "Vanilla Sky" has started as if it is about David's life and loves. Certainly it's entertaining as it rolls along, and there is wonderful chemistry of two quite different kinds between Cruise stars as David Aames, a 33-year-old tycoon who inherited a publishing empire when his parents were killed in a car crash.
