Movie Review
Grade: C-
The sci-fi genre... aliens, space travel, phenomenons... and time travel. That's what 12 Monkeys is about: time travel, although it's not as sci-fi related as it appears. Bruce Willis is a time traveler, which makes 12 Monkeys a sci-fi movie, but the entirety of it is not as complex as one would think. In fact, every scene that takes place in 2035 is just a souped-up shell that makes 12 Monkeys look a lot more technical than it is. Read the full movie review
User Comments & Reviews
12 Monkeys, by T.
March 6, 2004
I liked the movie a lot. It was very entertaining to me and it made me think. However, I too was a bit dissappointed by the ending. While it left me a little confused, I think the root of my confusion was simply the lack of resolution the ending contained. Either way, I still think it deserved better than a C-, but perhaps not the A I gave it.
