Vanilla Sky is a Thinking Man's Movie

Rating: 9/10 (16 November 2005)

I recall seeing this movie in the theater and, when the lights came on in the house, people were climbing out of their seats saying, "I don't get it." This is the kind of movie that people either tend to love or hate. The difference lies in how much you paid attention during the film. If you're prone to miss details when they're presented in a movie, then yeah, I can see why Vanilla Sky would throw you. However, in my view, all of the confusing details are wrapped up quite nicely so that the few questions one might have are answered very well. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out... but give it your full attention if you want to get the most out of it.
