um....I agree watch it again....I think there's another movie based on the same thing from spain...penelope cruz is in it too....it's called open your eyes....same thing really......
I believe the original, with Penelope Cruz, is Open Your Eyes
This one should have been called Open Your Eyes Wide Shut. I hated the ending.

When his wife drove him off the bridge into the wall, he got put into that suspended stage at that point. He dream sequence pattern thing-a-mabob got screwed up and thats why he was a mess. I think that is how it went, it was quite a while ago that I saw it.
The problem was that despite the confusion it remained in the realm of reality until the end, when it borrowed a Matrix like solution to explain the whole thing. All of sudden it became a Sci-fi movie.
That movie is awesome!!
The part of the movie up to the time he passes out in the street after leaving the club was real. All the events after that were part of his virtual reality.
The movie didn't do much for me the first time I watched it. You really gotta see it a couple of times to appreciate how good it is. Excellent film.

I actually liked it and I didn't think I would. Aceshigh is right on when the dream or other reality started. Did you even watch the rooftop scene? Its kinda explained everything there, not sure how you missed it.

Anyway, everything after the club scene where he falls asleep on the street isn't real.
They used that as the insertion point for his dream sequence. What actually happened was after a few days, he found the web site for the cryo place and basically killed himself so he could be admitted. He chose that morning as the beginning of his dream so that he could live with this woman whom he thought he loved, even though they only met twice.

and i thought it was a great movie. kept you mind goin
People who complain like that about movies generally have no valid reasons to saying it's a bad movie other than the fact that they just didn't like it.
Unfortunately, they don't get that just because you didn't like a film, doesn't mean it's a bad movie.

I watched it tonight for the first time and understood it clearly by the end. Am I that bright, or are so many people really this dense?
Aceshigh is correct. Everything is explained to you at the end of the movie. They'd have to draw you a freakin' picture to be any more clear.
