Rebecca's on the right track...nice job, young lady!! Tom Cruise's tragic character was frozen in suspended animation; his dream-like thoughts flowed on through time, conflicted with what was dream and what was real. The 'program' only inferres Cruise should relax, but he pressed on--and was offered two options: stay in the dream world....or return to reality.
Cruise's character chose the latter---about 300 years ahead in time. By then, his deformed, scarred face was most likely reconstructed/restored or he was "transferred" into another healthy man's body.
The writers left the ending totally up to each one of us, which is clever......or maybe they were thinking of hammering out a sequel--something Cruise likely would turn down.

The way I understood it was that Tom Cruise was brought out of his state of suspended animation in which his dreams/programmed fantasy had gone awry. He had been made aware that all the proceeding was just a glitch in program by the company. It was now the distant future and those he loved were all dead. He now had the choice to return to fantasy or face the real world and unknown in the future. Seeing how badly his fantasy world had turned out, he selects to move forward and try to carve a life out for himself in the real world. End of movie.
It has been a loong time since I've seen it, so I might be remembering it wrong lol.

To be honest with you, i think Vanilla Sky was left open ended because the director or screenwriter couldn't decide which ending would be best (and it could have ended in serveral different ways). I personally think that Tom Cruise's character decided to live the rest of his days in that dream world (sorry i can't remember its name). So whatever you think the ending is then go with that, there's no one to tell you whether you're right or wrong cuz we don't really know.

it was an interesting ending. when cruise opens his eyes after he falls off the building, you wonder, his he going to relive what just happened. thats what i thought at least. the same bad dream over and over again
