Leprechaun K @LeprechaunKing Mar 15 The writing keeps it interesting in the first half and really pushes the envelope toward the end. Although this is the original, the main character isn't as likable as the Tom Cruise version. The finale makes up for the shortcomings. Still an enjoyable film. See more Monica B @Chartreusea Mar 7 Honestly, I know this is the original , but the Tom Cruise version is more polished, has better music, and the female roles are richer. The lead is a good actor. But this story needs that Hollywood touch. See more D P @RT45936356 Jun 18 I know this came first, but I can't help but to compare to Vanilla Sky. I think the concept is very interesting. I have never been so attracted to this story that I wanted to watch it repeatedly, but it is very interesting. I think if I had to pick, the American version probably appealed to me more. I think it's very interesting that Hollywood has to keep stealing fresh ideas from other cultures because the industry is so averse to outsiders. See more Craig B @Boundsy 02/26/2025 Open Your Eyes, the film which inspired 'Vanilla Sky', is a reasonable watch, not least just to watch a young Penelope Cruz (in 'all her glory', as well). Certainly intriguing and keeps you guessing. I won't declare it's better or worse than Vanilla Sky, because I didn't really go much on that film. See more Trevor W @RT19620579 06/20/2024 Only reason I'm giving this 4.5 stars instead of 5 is because the remake "Vanilla Sky" actually managed to out do it. If this were the only version, it would be 5 stars. See more Shioka O @RT54204327 03/26/2024 I watched this after "Vanilla Sky", and this is the original and much better than the American remake. It's more sympathetic and better narrative. Less entertaining but just right for the psychological sci-fi story. Now I think that another problem of the American one was casting.
