I have seen this twice theatrically and a number of times on the DVD in my collection. Aside from the problematic DVD aspect ratio (I watch it in 16 x 9 anyway) and the orgy censoring it has grown on me and I consider it a masterpiece, along with Kubrick's other triumphs. The acting is first rate (albeit Kidman outshines Cruise), the story moves along at a good pace, the humor is typical Kubrick , and the colors are simply eye popping. If you approach this with an open mind and look upon it as a dream it works. Kubrick himself considered it his best film and although I don't agree it certainly ranks as a solid effort by one of cinema's geniuses.
