Vanilla Sky Ratings & Reviews
- cultfilmlikerOctober 1, 2025I guess I’m a Scientologist now?
- pipanniOctober 21, 2025One of my favourite movies with Tom Cruise as the lead. The story tricks you into guessing what is real or not, and both the casting and the ending are excellent.
- DjjC13June 30, 2025The twist at the end was meh. Felt like a completely different story line smashed into this one like a t-bone collision.
- Ahmed SiddiquiSeptember 6, 2025Meh, some people may enjoy this movie, and some won't. I think this can end up being a "fun" watch for the average viewer who may or may not be cozied up on the couch with their partner. For myself, I found the first act of the movie really cool. Interesting characters, great chemistry between the actors, compelling arcs, but it's like they decided to smash the second half of this movie with a completely different idea and then it is this idea that ends up taking more screen time than anything that attracted the viewer in the first act. Because of that, this movie started to lose steam for me, and ended up being a slightly worse Black Mirror episode.
- StairwaytothestarsAugust 4, 2025Very mysterious, atmospheric, unpredictable, and Tom Cruise's best acting of his career. I didn't have a clue what was going on until it all comes together at the end. "I'll see you in another life, when we are both cats." Fantastic remake, and I can still taste VANILLA SKY!
- rayzrsharpJuly 24, 2025One of my fave T.C. movies. I revisit this film ~twice a year. Also a huge Cameron Crowe fan as his movies always have the best soundtracks! Probably my 20th time watching this film. Performances are excellent! I learn something new each time I see it. Very thought provoking. Confusing the first few times watching but you'll get it as you watch again and relate to your own dreams. Great acting! Great cast. Great story. Better than the original foreign version, which I sought out and watched just to see the differences.
- tellumApril 27, 2025Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz, and Kurt Russell all got together and decided to do a weird indy movie with the guy from Mallrats.
- sldghmmrJuly 14, 2025TBH,I got bored in the first 5 minutes, skipped around until the last 25 minutes, and felt like I learned everything I needed to know about the movie.
- Peter BickfordJanuary 5, 2025Unique, challenging movie with bravura performances by all. Cameron Crowe, you magnificent bastard!
