The trick with movies like this (THIS: Vanilla Sky, Fight Club, The Sixth Sense to a lesser extent) is to watch it twice.
After first watching Vanilla Sky, I came away impressed, both with the artistic merits of the film, and with the plot itself. But upon second viewing, knowing the ending ahead of time, I was blown away by all the subtle intricacies that are right under the audience's noses but seemingly unapparent.
Enough people have debated it on here already. Suffice it to say that Tom Cruise proves himself yet again as a spectacular actor and Cameron Crowe creates a monumental movie, a masterpiece. This is not only one of the best movies of the year, but one of the best of all time. An intelligent romantic thriller not seen since the days of Cary Grant and Alfred Hitchcock...
