Why is this so underrated? Best movie I've seen in a long time..

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2016)

First off I just want to stress to people who are planning to see this movie,that I didn't know much about the film before i watched it, other than it was a drama/romance and it happened to be directed by Cameron crowe. After seeing Jerry Maguire i decided i had to give this a shot.
I was so glad i saw this before i saw the original movie it was based on, which was a Spanish movie named 'open your eyes'
Now i know that most of the scenes/story is a lot alike the original but by far this is one of the best remakes i have seen in a while. The entire cast is a joy to watch. Not to mention Vanilla Sky has a killer soundtrack which goes amazingly well with the tone of the movie A very strong and convincing performance by Tom Cruise kept me gripped at all times in the movie.
Crowe manages to keep me on the edge of my seat, scene after scene waiting to know what will happen next. Vanilla Sky has all the elements of what it takes to create a magical movie with its delightful chemistry shown between Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz, and to the breathtaking visuals we see. Penelope is very believable in her role and you can't imagine anyone better as the sweet Sophia.
Unexpectedly Cameron Diaz is charismatic and oozing charm even as a supportive character role.
I can guarantee that Vanilla Sky will open your mind and explore every emotion you have attached to you. The story is cleverly portrayed and will not disappoint! I also want to add that watching it twice made me appreciate it even more. There isn't cinema quite like this anymore!
I was disappointed to see that it didn't receive all positive reviews at first, although I think in time it will get the appreciation it so rightfully deserves!
Verdict: Give it a chance.
Chances like this don't come very often..!
