Movie Reviews of 12 Monkeys (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Loved it at first......now, meh!!!
Summary: 3 Stars
I loved this movie when it first came out; I watched it again a few months ago.
I love the whole end of the world spin, but the animal rights garbage I can do without.
Brad Pitt is brilliant in this movie, too bad he's gotten so boring in recent years.
I dunno, it's just not a movie that really keeps my interest anymore.
The story is ok, the ending is great.
I would have given 12 Monkeys five stars when it first came out, I'm giving it three now.
There are better movies on this subject nowadays, I Am Legend being a five star example.
I recommend a rental.
Summary of 12 Monkeys (Special Edition)
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 ShannonDrama DVD Video
