VANILLA SKY
(Tom Cruise's Battlefield: Earth)
In the movie, Tom Cruise plays Multi-millionaire playboy David
Aames,
a womanizer who frequently engages in numerous sexual affaires, but one
day his life is changed when a psychotic woman crashes her car with him in it.
Now he must attempt to regain his humanity and keep his sanity all at the same
time. This movie is directed by Cameron of critically acclaimed movies like
“Jerry Macguire”, and “Almost Famous”, and this movie is directed beautifully.
The long range shots and surrealistic camera angles make this a beauty of a
movie to watch in directing terms. Jason Lee and Cameron Diaz who are terribly
underused also give this movie an advantage in watching.
Unfortunately, this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. One
can find that hard to believe when you have a power packed cast like Tom Cruise,
Kurt Russell, and Cameron Diaz along with director Cameron Crowe at the helm. To
tell you what I thought of this movie while watching would be too graphic to
display, but this is
a painful movie to watch. The cast and director maraud us through this
incredibly dull and pretentious movie that attempts to gives us symbolic
storylines and messages. It tells us about beauty and what it really means in
this world when we’re displayed in the public so often as David is. When he
loses his beauty in the car accident, he also begins to rapidly lose his sanity.
The movie attempts to become artsy with surreal backdrops, an annoying opening
scene, and loopy plot-twist after plot-twist after horrid plot-twist. And did I
mention that the movies two lead character fumble their way through this movie
attempting to have chemistry and charm yet only coming off as obnoxious and
contrived? Tom Cruise smiles in just about every shot in this movie trying to
look boyishly cute, along with the terrible actress Penelope Cruz who also makes
many attempts to seem charming and profound but comes off equally annoying.
Every character in this movie spouts intellectually challenged and trite
dialogue that made me cringe in my seat. Women, if you watch this to
check out Tom Cruise, save your money, because it is two and half hours of your
life you'll never get back. It’s baffling how this movie could have been a
blockbuster. I would have liked to see when this was out in theaters. I could
imagine people sleeping in their seats, and many others walking out towards the
middle. I would have.
A horrible waste of money and talent and two
and a half hours I'll never get back.
