Easy to like...Easier to Dislike
I saw this film last night and what had kept me away from this movie is the same thing that made me watch it.That thing is the negative reviews from friends,internet,media as such.Alright, so it isn't a film for everyone. I don't expect fourteen year olds to like it.

Where this film truly owns is the story line and the execution. I wouldnt think Tom would do a film like this.I was shocked to read towards the end that he was one of the producers.The director leaves absolutely nothing to predictability.There is a lot of suspense and confusion in the plot.I gotta feel it for the disfigured Tom Cruise.He's one fine actor and it's sadly plus interestingly real to know what a life it can be for someone who's had his face disfigured.

The film has many such dialogues and scenes that leave you smiling.The way Cruz jumps after her first liplocking session with TC,the Martini comment on Diaz,the bartender's "B***h",the bob dylan angle,the car crash,the best friend love triangle,the sex,the comment on a new birth as cats....

Alright.I won't go into any more details because that is not the purpose of my review. The purpose of my review is to tell you that any and most movie lovers would actually dig this.No , this isnt a romantic comedy. It's not a thriller. It's Vanilla Sky.

Who is this movie for?

This movie is for people who don't dismiss movies on the basis of conclusions but actually like the interesting things about the movie.Please note,anyone who liked the Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind , will like like this movie. I didnt like the movie as much I liked Vanilla Sky.It's done with a more "we want your money,watcher" theme.

Anyhow,WATCH THIS MOVIE for the love of originality.

Also,it has the best soundtrack any movie can have.

With much muted respect for originality,

What a mess.
This movie should not have even gotten one star. The story line is totally nuts. At the end, you wonder what the whole thing was about. What a disappointing movie; even the acting was weak.

Not as enjoyable as 'Minority Report'.
The first time I watched this film, I hated it, I didn't understand anything, I just wanted to lie back and understand whats going on as if I were watching 'Speed'.

After seeing 'Minority Report', I decided to give it another go, and this time really focus. I understood it this time round, and its quite mind twisting, but I did not enjoy it as much as 'Minority Report', I found myself trying way too hard to catch up on what the hell was going on with no real entertainment along the way. The movie was only 2 hours, but it felt like 3 hours.

This is also one of those films that you definitely see best the first time around, so you really have to focus, look and listen to everything. This is also Tom Cruise' best work.

Unlike 'Minority Report' you might be reluctant to watch it again or anytime soon unless you haven't understood the story, as it really is one of those movies where it gets really boring after the first go.

Don't let the trailer fool you, this is far from a simple love story. Plenty of twists and turns, its hard to catch up. It may not be very enjoyable, but its definitely worth watching and understanding atleast once.
