DVD Reviews of Vanilla Sky
DVD Review: Original concept with meaningful personal implications.
Summary: 4 Stars
Although this movie seems to draw much debate and controversy whether a person "liked" it or not. I thought it a good movie; memorable in fact. If you still haven't watched it, do so. Then you will know why my review is so short.
Basically Cruise in this one is trying to find out what bleep is going on, and you are just as helpless as he is. Consider it a part mystery, part psycho-drama. The ending will leave you wondering what you would choose...
DVD Review: Intriguing mystery
Summary: 3 Stars
This film pretends to be more than it is, but it is still a fine film. In an intriguing way, it portrays the mystery that the world of dreams and the world of "reality" are often much more intertwined than we think or imagine. It also points out that the life lived in reality, especially in intimate relationships, is much richer and more fulfilling, with all its challenges, than what we may imagine as our "dream" or "fantasy" lives. The film is well-acted.DVD Review: Amazing Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a excellent movie, and if i had to say probably my favorite of all tom cruise's movies. (I also really enjoyed eyes wide shut).
The plot is unique and not tiresome and boring like so many other movies out there. This movie remains on my top 10 list of all time favorite movies.
Like another reviewer wrote, by the time i got to the end of the movie i was shocked, simply put.
If you are deep into tons of action then this movie isn't for you. Otherwise, this movie is a MUST SEE !
DVD Review: A Beautiful Film - But Not For Every Taste
Summary: 5 Stars
Vanilla Sky has been called superficial, vain, over-produced and arrogant, and it is all of those things, I won't deny it. You have to accept and even appreciate these flaws if you're going to enjoy what this film has to offer.
At its core, the film is a classic tale of redemption with some sci-fi elements tossed in to add to the flavor. At times it is shocking and violent, at others schmaltzy or vulgar, and the characters can come off as vapid urbanites who have never even had to think about working a normal job. Still, the film manages to connect emotionally on many levels despite the fact that it's hard to identify with the characters.
Perhaps the film could have accomplished its task without coming off as pretentious, but somehow I doubt it. This is one of my favorite films, and one I've shared with many friends. From experience I know you'll either get bored of the movie after 10 minutes or you'll be hooked. In other words: Try this one before you buy!
DVD Review: Descartes for the masses: a frozen dream
Summary: 2 Stars
I suppose what I dislike about this movie is the misuse of cryonics
technology as an asleep and dreaming scheme.
To make an eternally young Tom Cruise sex film out of a
sci fi and philosophic concept seems obscene to me.
The twist of insanity at the end of a very long set of reruns...
I found it hard to watch this film which was obviously made
for big box office alone.
I didn't like is very much.
Description of Vanilla Sky
Young handsome and wealthy publishing tycoon david aames can have anything his heart desires. Still davids charmed life seems imcomplete. One night david meets the woman of his dreams & believes he may have found the missing piece. But an encounter with an ex-jealous lover sends davids world out of control. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 01/25/2005 Starring: Tom Cruise Cameron Diaz Run time: 136 minutes Rating: R Director: Cameron CroweVanilla Sky reunites director Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire) with ?ber-playboy Tom Cruise, adds another sexy Cruz (Pen?lope) and Cameron Diaz for good measure, and delivers a wildly entertaining, bizarre venture into erotic science fiction. Adapted near exactly from Spanish filmmaker Alejandro Amen?bar's 1997 romantic thriller Open Your Eyes, the film follows David Aames (Cruise) as he falls from his graceful Manhattan perch of inordinate wealth, good looks, and newfound love with Sofia (Cruz) because of severe facial disfigurement in a car accident caused by a suicidal ex-lover (Diaz). What at first promises to be a conventional allegory of redemption via true love is turned on its head as Cruise's character, reduced to wearing a latex mask and spurned by his friends, wins back his princess only after a miracle of plastic surgery restores his former beauty. A series of plot twists follows as waking life, technological advances, and nightmares flip-flop to dizzying effect and David ultimately comes face to face with his own mortality. Despite a final conceit to some vague morality, the appeal of the film is the wonderfully callous message conveyed by the rest of it (money and physical beauty equal happiness) through an unabashed vanity perfectly embodied by Cruise and Cruz. A delicious, decadent treat. --Fionn Meade
