my heart pounds at seeing this thread bumped and the prospect of it being delayed any longer!!!

I wondered about that too!
I think the delay was actually smart in retrospect. Thanks to delaying this until after Aloha's theatrical release, Vanilla Sky has actually shifted in the ledger from being one of Cameron Crowe's worse films to one of his better ones.

I never got the hate for the movie either, some people I talked to make it sound like they couldn't grasp what was happening, which I really don't understand... it was all rather simplistic.
It was like a pretty upgrade to Abres Los Ojos, sort of like The Ring to Ringu. Different but the same and much nicer looking. I saw Abres Los Ojos sometime in 99, was a good time period for those "Reality is not Reality" movies and I thought VS did a good job with the story overall

How is it that this is a catalog release with new special features and it's cheaper than most new catalog releases with no or ported SD features?

Cuz it's a catalog release. One w/ little popularity compared to newer films that are very fresh w/ people and it's not a catalog film that has a massive popularity compared to say.... Blade Runner, where people wouldn't mind paying full price for.

Was looking forward to upgrading this, but I was banking on the video quality being vastly improved. Doesn't seem to be the case.

The alternate ending was, simply, Crowe's attempt at more closely duplicating the original Spanish film's conclusion. The quality of the footage also takes a nosedive at that point, which detracts from the new branched viewing experience. Details of the ending itself below:

My copy should be arriving today. At 8 bucks and some change, unless its a total ball drop, I'll be more than happy to upgrade my dvd. The new extras look impressive and while the picture might be "soft", it'll be more than sufficient I'm sure. Besides, it's got Kurt Russell, so I'm almost good automatically

Totally forgot I had this on order. Abre Los Ojos finally comes out on solo Blu-ray August 1st (import), which is only available in an Amenabar collection.

Been watching it. Sucks the picture looks the way it does. Oh well, it was cheap, that's the main motivator as to why I got it. And the alternate ending.

Overall, yes. And I'm not one to nitpick on the PQ too much, but if I can notice it easily, I'm sure most of you will.

Now I know why Amazon is selling it so cheaply. You can't find this title, for the most part, in store anywhere! I would of bought this if I could walk into a Target or Best Buy and pick it up. Guess I'll have to wait until I have something else to buy at Amazon to get this.
