How Unoriginal

Rating: Null/10 (22 February 2005)

I was staying up late on Sunday night and with nothing better on TV, I decided to start watching a foreign movie on The Movie Channel. The movie was called "Open Your Eyes" and basically was the same movie as Vanilla Sky. Right down to the actress playing the female lead, Penelope Cruz. The same jealous girlfriend attempting murder him in the car crash, the mask, everything.
Sad to say I actually thought that the original movie was much better. There was a little twist at the end, but much better and believable than Vanilla Sky.
I used to respect Cameron crow but after seeing a worse remake, makes me question is creativity. This is the first time that I have actually preferred a movie with subtitles and a lower budget than a Hollywood blockbuster.
If you have a night with nothing better to do. Check out "Open Your Eyes" and compare it to Vanilla Sky, you wont be disappointed.
