Boy what a ride

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2001)

Open your eyes, this was one good movie. I went to see this film with my wife and we had two completely different takes on it. I loved it and my wife hated it. I thought the acting was great, the images were breath taking and the sound track first class. It was a Indi sci-fi classic, with Tom Cruse in the lead and really good music. My wife thought it was too long, confusing, and and a waste of time.
It must be said that while I love a good Indi film, like say the "Opposite of Sex" my wife usually thinks they are too over the top. This film had me going the whole way, first I thought it was a love story, then a murder mystery, then a Psychological thriller, then a sci-fi twister. But the thing I liked most about it was that I could not stop thinking about the film all night.
The images were burnt into my head. When I first saw the pictures of the girl and her mother and father I wondered why the parents had blond hair. Later in the film when things changed I said OK that explains that. But then in the end I did not know what was real and what was a dream, even the ending. I asked my wife what she thought and she said "Who cares". I felt like telling her "Open you eyes".
