| Synopsis:
David Aames is a tycoon's son, who in the eyes of many, is a spoiled child who has no realization of his wealth or luck. Inheriting his fathers company after both parents were killed in a road accident some years prior, David meets a girl whom his friend brings to a lavish house party one night and instantly falls in love with her. Desperate to find out more about this mystery girl, he gets chatting to her, unfortunately a jilted lover is watching David at all times and plans her final plot. After surviving a car crash and having his face reconstructed courtesy of his 'jilted lover', David struggles to find out the truth when his dreams turn into reality, and what he thinks is reality, turns into nightmares. He knows he wants the Mystery girl he met at the party that night, but where is she? who is she? Everything seems muddled slightly, until a doctor manages to repair his face, and life is back to the way it should be, together with his mystery girl, or is it? Questions need to be answered, but who is to be asked and who has the answers. |

Clearly, this movie isn't for everyone. As many people love it as hate it. But I think it's amazing. It's a great love story that seems to defy genre classification. To me it's more than a rent and I'm glad to own it, but I'd recommend anyone who hasn't seen it to rent it first; you may hate it.
It's an amazing movie!! And maybe just what you've always hoped to see. July 3, 2009

I've loved Vanilla Sky since the first time I saw it. I instantly fell in love with it, so I'm definitely part of the "love it" camp. I'm not going to go too much into the details of the plot in this review as 788 people have said probably all that could be. I must caution potential viewers to please NOT allow your opinion of Tom Cruise to affect your opinion of this movie. He plays this role quite well and convincingly, as the David Ames character he plays might not be so different from the real Tom Cruise. Life immitating art, art immitating life...blah, blah, blah..
In short, it's a great film on many levels. It's a thriller, it's a drama, it makes you think. The ending is sad yet hopeful. As everyone has said, you'll probably either love and appreciate this film, or find it nothing but senseless junk. I definitely think this movie is a classic, that may be appreciated in a greater sense somewhere down the line. Right now, Tom Cruise's personal life overshadows how great this moview actually is.
A really weird film June 29, 2009

A really nice romp into the world of the mind. It gives you alot to think about when it's over.One of Tom Cruise's best performances not to mention Ms'Cruz's beauty.They are electric on screen together.

"Vanilla Sky" is a quirky sci-fi thriller starring Tom Cruise, in his saner, handsomer days. Cruise stars as a gazillionaire torn between his psycho ex-girlfriend (Cameron Diaz) and the beautiful Sofia (Cruise's then-girlfriend, Penelope Cruz) Sofia also happens to be the girlfriend of his writer friend (Jason Lee) Diaz ends up driving Cruise crazy--literally. She dies in the crash;he ends up disfigured (he looks like he was in a bad brawl,not the Elephant Man) He gets locked up, with psychotherapist Kurt Russell. In the meantime,he finds out about cryonics from the icily beautiful Tilda Swinton (now the White Witch in the Disney Narnia movies)
"Vanilla Sky" brings up interesting issues of reality, fantasy, whether it was all a dream. Former Rolling Stone intern Cameron Crowe brings in the Beach Boys, Bjork, and Bob Dylan--as if it were all a pop culture in-joke. The head of Life Extension looks eerily like the diminutive leader of Scientology,with his promises of immortality, eternal youth, and lucid dreaming.
"Vanilla Sky" is an interesting bad movie. Cruise is quite credible as the shallow playboy. Russell is convincing as a therapist,being quite paternal with his nerd glasses (this same Russell was the Marine in "Stargate") "Vanilla Sky" will open your eyes!
 Original concept with meaningful personal implications. April 21, 2009

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...
