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.

Which is one of my problems with the film. They explained what was going on too much and almost made me feel like they thought I was stupid. :)

Which is exactly why I don't understand how so many people in this thread couldn't understand the movie. :)

There is no way I would subject myself to as much punishment as it would take to watch the whole movie. I'll just take your word for it that you liked it. I didn't.

Some people don't pay attention, I guess.

Who said I liked it?

I thought it was OK. Some neat visuals and stuff, not bad for a bored evening at home with a pulled back muscle. :)

Yet again not giving any reasons as to why it's a bad film.

LOL, ok you liked it. I turned it on because I was bored. But I thought it would be more fun to stick pins into my eyes. Anyone got an band-aid?

Well, to be fair, I saw it in HD. So the visuals were really stunning. :p

did you listen to what they said in the movie? It was explained to him what happened and how much was a dream.

anyone wants to shed some lights?

Tech supports explains everything in the end. What part got you confused?

I liked this movie a lot. I also saw the original, Abre los Ojos, and thought the remake was a little bit better. Great soundtrack.

Like you'd ever have the chance to choose between the two. :p

I just saw this movie and thought it was simply fantastic. I think i'll remember this film just as momento for its insistance on keeping the audience out of the loop just enough to breed further curiousity. Obviously the 'techsupport' was a little babyish in that it explained everything without question, but it did leave one question...


Did he really wake up, or was that just another Lucid dream?


Oh and by the way, Penelope is my choice over diaz. She is way better in every respect.....when she was in the restaurant with cruz I just wanted to freakin' take a huge-ass spoon and eat her up...damn she was appealing....:)

I couldn't have said it better myself.
