Universal 12 Monkeys - HD-DVD
In 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.
Amazon.com essential video:
Inspired by Chris Marker's acclaimed short film La Jetée (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

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 ... Read More

I first saw this movie in the 90's when it came out, but had forgotten just how really good it is. Bruce Willis shows that, when he gets away from the "Die Hard" movies, he's a very good actor. And Madeline Stowe and Brad Pitt also put in fine performances. The plot twists and turns to a surprise ending. Highly recommended, even for those who don't normally like sci-fi.

This is a great movie. It is one of my favorite movies of all time. If you like "thinking" movies this is for you. It's a cerebral movie that requires you to follow every second to keep up. Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt are Fantastic!!!!!

This movie has an interesting plot. I love the acting by Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis. It really makes you think about the whole time travel aspect of messing things up.

As many have already noted, `12 Monkeys' is one of the best (if not the best) time travel movies ever filmed. What makes `12 Monkeys' so extraordinary is its marvelously crafted script (inspired by Chris Marker's short film `La Jetee') coupled with some stellar performances wrapped up in director Terry Gilliam's glossy packaging. In short, `12 Monkeys' is a complete package. There is nothing lacking in this film. The intensity is high, the personal connection is strong, the emotional resonance is ... Read More
