Yes, abre los ojos is much better, the build up to that movie was so well executed that the suprise really came as a surprise, unlinke Vanilla Sky which was also lacking a scene that was more shocking that what happened on the remake (involving the therapist).

Oh and there’s no comparing the deformity of the original’s character than the mere scar of Tom “preety boy” Cruise.

These deviatons are what made me not like Vanilla Sky, not even the opening scene in a vacant Times Square.
