Movie Reviews of Open Your Eyes
Movie Review: Haunting thriller: the second masterpiece of Alejandro Amenabar!
Summary: 5 Stars
Where does the fantasy begin and where does it finishes? Labyrinths of the reason intersect with the game of open possibilities in this puzzled and superbly well built thriller that will burn at your eyes. To intend to describe the fabulous script would become a sacrilege, go for this one. There are fine sequences that reminds us to David Lynch. And this is by itself a remarkable point to his favor.
Amenabar proves he is the most prominent and ambitious director of his generation. Prolific, ingenious and profoundly original around his narrative perspective.
Movie Review: Extremely clever and disturbing movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Open Your Eyes (Abre Los Ojos) follows the story of César a womanizng playboy who's life is changed forever when he is disfigured in a car crash. In jail for murdering his grilfriend César tries reconstruct what happened. The viewer never really knows what is real and imagined, what is fact and what is a reconstruction. The confusion is understandable as the movie ends, with the conclusion perhaps asking more questions than it answers. You might not like the ending at all, but it is certainly very original. (This movie is in European Spanish)Movie Review: Fantasically Mind-Bending Film
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is unique in that it explores the notion of dreams and thier significance while taking you on a journey throughout the human psyche. The brilliance of the film is undoubtedly do to a superb script and the raw, enthusiastic actors who bring it to life. This movie is not only enjoyable for all of the twists and turns it takes you through but, it is emotionally challenging on a level that most films never acheive.To tell you any more would be to rob you of a wonderful movie experience. Please see this movie and enjoy!Movie Review: MUCH BETTER than Vanilla Sky
Summary: 5 Stars
Abre los Ojos (Open your Eyes) is a much better movie than Vanilla Sky, the script and character handling by Amanenabar are much better than Cameron Crowe's who just glides through a much unnecessary and mediocre re-make of a wonderful film. The best example I can give you is that at the end of Vanilla Sky you actually can know what's going to happen, while in Open your Eyes the ending is a complete mistery and the suspense is great. Skip Tom Cruise and keep Penelope and (watch) buy the original, much better, idea instead.Movie Review: Open Your Eyes
Summary: 5 Stars
At the tender age of twenty-five, Amenabar released the mind-bending "Eyes," later Americanized into the inferior "Vanilla Sky." A multilayered, nightmarish whodunit, the intense Noriega makes Cesar's psychic torture palpable, while Cruz personifies the ideal of feminine beauty--ephemeral, tantalizing, and just out of reach. This dark, boldly inventive film, accented with intriguing futuristic elements, keeps its audience engrossed and guessing until the very last frame.
