Movie Reviews of 12 Monkeys [HD DVD]
Movie Review: Gripping Sci-Fi Intrique!
Summary: 4 Stars
Science Fiction with time travel and deadly world of germs actually keeps your attention. This is a film that features Bruce Willis (as time traveler from the year 2035) and Brad Pitt (an insane son of a rich influential scientist).
The movie works on all fronts despite a bizarre plot. Terry Cole (Bruce Willis) is a prisoner in the year 2035, where all earthlings must live underground to escape a deadly plague on the earth's surface. Terry is asked to travel back in time to the month before the germs were released and try to change the future. He ends up in a insane asylum in 1990 the first trip. His psychiatrist, Katherine Railly and a friendly inmate Jeffrey Goines (Brad Pitt) are his main contacts and he feels that they may help him find the clues to the epidemic that killed 5 billion people in 1997.
Original intrigue keeps the audience interested and involved with the surprise ending. Food for thought in our time of worry about pandemics.
Summary of 12 Monkeys [HD DVD]
Universal 12 Monkeys - HD-DVDIn this science fiction masterpiece, Cole (Bruce Willis) is sent back in timeto save the human race from a deadly virus that has forced mankind into dank underground communities in the future. Along his travels, he encounters a psychiatrist (Madeleine Stowe) and a mental patient, brilliantly portrayed by Brad Pitt, who may hold the key to the mysterious rogue group, The Army of the 12 Monkeys, thought to be responsible forunleashing the killer disease. Believing he can obtain a pure virus sample in order to find a cure in the future, he is met with one riddle after another that puts him in a race for time.
Inspired by Chris Marker's acclaimed short film La Jet?e (which is included on the DVD Short?2: Dreams), 12 Monkeys combines intricate, intelligent storytelling with the uniquely imaginative vision of director Terry Gilliam. The story opens in the wintry wasteland of the year 2035, where a virulent plague has forced humans to live in a squalid, oppressively regimented underground. Bruce Willis plays a societal outcast who is given the opportunity to erase his criminal record by "volunteering" to time-travel into the past to obtain a pure sample of the deadly virus that will help future scientists to develop a cure. But in bouncing from 1918 to the early and mid-1990s, he undergoes an ordeal that forces him to question his own perceptions of reality. Caught between the dangers of the past and the devastation of the future, he encounters a psychiatrist (Madeleine Stowe) who is initially convinced he's insane, and a wacky mental patient (Brad Pitt in a twitchy Oscar-nominated role) with links to a radical group that may have unleashed the deadly virus. Equal parts mystery, tragedy, psychological thriller, and apocalyptic drama, 12 Monkeys ranks as one of the best science fiction films of the '90s, boosted by Gilliam's visual ingenuity and one of the finest performances of Willis's career. --Jeff Shannon
