Open Your Eyes (1997) - Alejandro Amenabar

Remember that film with Tom cruse? you know Vanilla Sky? The one you kinda liked but felt as if you'd missed some thing?

This is it! don't get me wrong I LOVE Vanilla Sky. But Open your eyes is the film that it was based off and for some reason it just seems to make more sense, even if it is all in Spanish.
I read some where that Alejandro Amenabar, wanted to make a Sic-Fi film without relying on special FX's and fancy sets. He more than accomplishes this.

In fact what he created was a film that dragged you in with its Thriller style story of blurred reality. Treated you like crap with the cheap scares and scarred faces. And at the end of it made you realise this was never a love story but a Science fiction film that leaves you wanting a little more, but feeling guilty that you enjoyed it.

4.5/5
