i think this was worse than the butterfly effect....👎

 

[Mike Rotch]

It was ok, but I thought the ending was a bit hammed up. Nevertheless, an ok movie in my book (considering I detest Mr. Cruise.)

Definitely one of the stupidest movies ever.

I liked it. :tuppy:

Wow, it seams a lot of you are either to thick to understand such a movie, or are just into Hollywood flicks. I can see how some people would not understand a lot of it, but If you take the time to become familiar with the plot structure, it's a fantastic movie. I have to agree that Tom Cruise is not the worlds best actor, but the story was absolutely fantastic. I think he did a great job of remaking the classic Spanish flick.

Vanilla Sky is a Hollywood flick.

I was refering to the typical, blockbuster, no plot, one liner filed, special effects extravaganza, Hollywood flick. I probably should have explained that first. Just because the director lives in Hollywood, doesn't make it a Hollywood Flick, in my definition.

i think it was really good. Like the matrix sort of story really out there and watch 2 times to get it good

I thought it was really good. The ending opened up a whole new dimension to the plot itself. With that and Minority Report, Cruise has a pair of movies that are about more than just his smile.

wana b drifter: do you really think that Pulp Fiction is a brain movie? Seems pretty straightforward to me, although the distressed timeline can make it difficult for stupid people to follow.
And I believe the definition of "Hollywood" is to do with the origin of the finance.

Agreed. However, Hollywood movie, has come to mean more than where it's from. I explained above what my definition of it is. I have not met anyone yet, that didn't understand, and agree with that definition. There are good movies that come out of hollywood, but the majority, are just reused formulas.......I personally prefer more edgy original movies like: Jacobs Ladder, Adaptation, Requiem for a Dream, Pi, Dancer in the Dark, Memento, etc......You get the idea. I guess I'm just tired of the cheesy big blockbuster titles, filled with big name stars, spitting out one line catch frases, in a plot hole filled special effects extraveganza.

Wow I didn't realize you were so deep. The movies . . . I mean films . . . you watch prove it. I stand in awe.

Are you being sarcastic? It's really hard to tell sometimes.

[average name]

that movie's way up there on the list of "messed up" movies, right under Fight club but above The Tin Drum

the ending, "wow" *jaw drop*

I loved the movie. Its been a while since I've seen it but it was awsome. It had me guessing every moment. Something I've been meaning to buy, but never got around to it.
