Review of Vanilla Sky (2001) by James K — 19 Sep 2010
If you have watched the original (Spain's "Open your Eyes") then I suggest you keep away from this. It is a sloppy yet glossy remake of a superior film. It copies various scenes from the original but, unfortunately, they are all hollow.
There is minimal character development and some reactions/emotions of the characters seem out of place. This is because of poor performances and the fact that some parts were changed from the original but those parts lead to an identical scene.
Somehow, this film has managed to fit less character and detail into a longer running time. It does have a couple of respectable moments but when they appear it is too late.
