Review of Vanilla Sky (2001) by Sreejith M — 09 Oct 2013
To honor a film like Vanilla Sky, you have to see it atleast twice or thrice. At first I thought it was a total mess but when I saw it the second time -- I enjoyed it tremendously. Although far from perfect, its hard not to commend Cruise and Crowe for creating an inventive, ambitious mixture of genres and maintaining a kind-of poignant emotional and parallel reality within the fractured narrative, thereby keeping the audience touched and entertained by myriads, mythical ways of Science fiction storytelling.
You'll love it if you're a hardcore sci-fi fan. You'll feel hooked from that astonishing sequence where Cruise's character wakes up from his bead and starts running through a deserted Times Square.
