Synopsis

In the year 2035, convict James Cole reluctantly volunteers to be sent back in time to discover the origin of a deadly virus that wiped out nearly all of the earth's population and forced the survivors into underground communities. But when Cole is mistakenly sent to 1990 instead of 1996, he's arrested and locked up in a mental hospital. There he meets psychiatrist Dr. Kathryn Railly, and patient Jeffrey Goines, the son of a famous virus expert, who may hold the key to the mysterious rogue group, the Army of the 12 Monkeys, thought to be responsible for unleashing the killer disease.

Osmosis Iron Really good apocalyptic science fiction. Has a great plot, with twists and turns so good that it benefits from multiple viewings. Both Willis and Pitt are great in it. Pitt actually turns in perhaps one of his most memorable roles in this, in my opinion! It's sort of a remake of an experimental b&w short french film made almost entirely of still photos in 1962, called "La Jetée" if you can, check that out too!
JacobFlynn True masterpiece and very enjoyable. The idea of the virus destroying everything and having to send a man back in the past is just brilliant. Only thing that bugged me is that we didn't have much info about the backstories of the twelve monkeys or the virus.
Thy Davideth I hated 12 Monkeys!!! I watched 2 hours of this crap and throughout it all there was NO resolution. Nothing!! Just some retard travelling through time to find out the source of the humanity's near extinction and ending with NOTHING!!! And all of you think this is such a brilliant film. Pssssshhhhh!!! Ha! The only thing this movie has going for it is the acting performances of Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis and that seems to be one of the highest consensus as to why this film is liked. I also liked some of the technological aspects of the movie as well. But the story, conception and plot is abysmal and the pacing is slow as hell. And I don't exactly get the message this movie is trying to bring, if there is any. 12 Monkeys is worthless in every way possible. 129 minutes of bull$#!+ with an idiotic conclusion. Blow my butt.
Miguel Neto Do you know that movie that you watch without knowing what to expect and it surprises you a lot? I felt like Twelve Monkeys, I wanted to see the movie, but I had no expectations, even though I had a great cast and Terry Gilliam in the direction, but while I watched, I realized how obsessed I was with the movie, I did not blink, he has a slow tempo sometimes, but it does not get tiresome, the soundtrack is great, highlight for the theme song that is incredible, Terry's direction is excellent, showing that he is a great director, the cast is very good, Bruce Willis great, Madeleine Stowe is too much in this movie and Brad Pitt does one of the best performances of his career, the film is not confusing even using time travel, and the end surprised me when Twelve Monkeys is a masterpiece, one of the best films of the 90's and one of the best in science fiction.
