Movie Reviews of Open Your Eyes
Movie Review: The Original is Best !
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the original movie from which Vanilla Sky took it's story line. Vanilla Sky , though good, pales by comparison. This version has a wonderful cast - the characters are believable and passionatly portrayed. Watching this movie is like taking a roller coaster ride with Cesar, the main character. You get pulled through all the twists and turns of the plot right along with him. While he's trying to figure out what is happening and whether he is losing his mind you are right there trying to decide the same things. The plot isn't obvious and the story keeps you guessing to the last seconds. If you like psycholoical thrillers with lots of suspense, mystery and twists, this is a movie for you !Movie Review: Follow their lead
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautifully made, very provocative film, period. While the directing, cinematography, set, script, etc are all well-done, the best aspect of the work is that it is completely open to individual interpretation leaving the viewer to either simply watch it for its craft and take it at face-value or to delve into its deeper, darker aspects and consider its impact on his/her life (since great Art has the power to affect change)or at least make you think a little harder.On a side note, Penelope Cruz does a very fine job here, as opposed to her role reprisal in Vanilla Sky; continuing on the side: Vanilla Sky is a piece of fluff (read: ...) compared to Abres los ojos.
Movie Review: life is but a dream
Summary: 5 Stars
impressed with the way this film works, it starts well with the first dream sequence, and then falls back into what seems to be a fairly standard style spanish movie, but this just sets up the characters and story, for the mad events to follow.a real pleasant suprise, havent seen the tom cruise remake, and as ususal am in no hurry to, as scene by scene remakes go ill take nikita over assisn anyday, so id imagine the analogy is similiar.
This film is remniscint of fight club and total recall in the style of what is real what isnt, which really works here. the last scene is excellent.
the cast is great even penelope cruz is believable.
highly recomended.
Movie Review: Abre los Ojos or Vanilla Sky?
Summary: 5 Stars
"Open Your Eyes" or "Abre Los Ojos," as it is titled in its native tongue, is a beautiful, enrapturing and cerebral story. Most of you know the story, as it was redone by Cameron Crowe and called "Vanilla Sky." In many ways, Cameron Crowe improved on this movie. But this is the original. If you liked Vanilla Sky, it is well worth a look. Yes, Penélope Cruz is absolutely stunning and beautiful and amazing. But it's a really fascinating plot, once you realize everything. There is nudity, language and some sexual content.If you loved Vanilla Sky, or if you're a Spanish student and would like the practice, Open Your Eyes will be a pleasant movie for you.
Movie Review: BUY IT NOW!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're the type of person that goes for big names with poor acting, then this is not the movie for you! This movie includes a great cast of Spanish actors taht portray the parts perfectly; it could not be better. Sure a lot of people will og out and see Vanilla Sky instead but I personally think this version is better. It feels more raw, more real, and more personal! Of course if you don't speak spanish then make sure you put on the language captions but overall it is incredible! All the actors did a tremendous job even though many are new-comers ( to the English speaking audience).
