Is Vanilla Sky worth getting on DVD?

I haven't seen it yet but am wondering if I should pick it up or not.

Rent it...

I found this movie to be kind of pointless and pretty much a waste of my time. Although the performances were good it just didn't ring true as far as the relationships of the characters.

My friend and I both loved it, but I am aware it's also elicited a lot of negative reviews. It seems to be a love it or hate it type film, so if you haven't seen it, I'd suggest a rental first.

I plan on renting it since Open Your Eyes was rental material as well.

I never rent DVDs, so I'll be buying this one, and if I don't like it (haven't seen it yet), I'll sell it on eBay. I have a feeling I'll be keeping it though.

(Removed comment - Static) The plot isn't as easy to follow as say, Sesame Street, so if you can handle it, go for it. I loved this movie and plan on picking it up the first day it's available.

I might wait for the special edition (I believe it's due out in 1-2 years)

Not sure on this one. I saw it in theatres and was satisfied, but don't know if it's worth buying.

Truly a love it or hate it film among my friends and I. We are split about 50-50. I loved it and plan on picking it up the day of release.

The plot isn't much more complicated than Sesame Street. Any idiot should be able to figure it out, but it's just so incredibly stupid. Rent it. You might want the rental price back.

I might pick it up once I see it for below $15 -- good movie but I only want it so I can compare it to Abre Los Ojos.

That, and it's worth $5 to hear Cameron Diaz say "I swallowed your ***, doesn't that mean something?"

I saw it in the theater, and the more I have thought about it after the more I liked it. So I will be picking it up, besides that Kurt Rusell rules!!
