It makes me wonder....

Rating: 7/10 (12 October 2011)

I don't understand why some people thought this was a bad movie. The acting was great, the soundtrack acceptable, and the editing and camera angles were used magnificently. The only parts I didn't like was when David Aames was talking with McKay.
I liked the ending. The effects were good. Some people are complaining about the ending, saying "It explains nothing!" or, "Oh, is Sofia really Julie?". It's ALL explained in the elevator scene, where they ride up to David's true moment of choice.
The soundtrack was decent. I liked the songs by Sigur Ros on there. They fit the movie well... but some of the songs on their were eccentric and weird. The music in the end scene fit perfectly as David has his final conversation with Sofia before taking a literal leap of faith.
Penelope Cruz, Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz (along with many other cast members) did a fantastic job in this film. Tom portrayed a character who was afraid of heights well, he portrayed a drunk man well... and so on.
Overall, I think Vanilla Sky is a pretty decent movie. Good enough to put under a Christmas tree. I give it an 8/10.
