scifi-romance

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2002)

perhaps i should not write right after watching the movie because i think it should take awhile to think about it. i can only say that it was a great experience. i got sucked into the movie from the first second on and after it was over i was kind of shocked that it took around 2 hours to watch it. it´s a great story about love, desperation, life, identity, reality and it´s told in kind of "intellectual acid science-fiction style", means: you feel like on a very sophisticated lsd-trip. only problem i see is that it looks and feels so good, that you definetly have to look out for sth that´s "wrong" with it...maybe Cruise? No! He´s great! He´s on his best! Although I normally do not like him that much, he´s playing really f***ing good in here! Penelope Cruz: wonderfull! Cameron Diaz: hell is blonde! Not one bad actor, not one scene that would bore you or even annoy you.
i wonder how i will like the original, because this one gets 10/10
Recommendations: nothing comparable, because it mixes so many ideas and styles, that its standing solo. (may-may-maybe fightclub, total recall, phantom of the opera, matrix, eyes wide shut, brainstorm, ...)
