Movie Review
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. Full movie review »

March 6, 2004I 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.

November 12, 2003I liked this movie on several points that were brought up in the movie (if you pick it apart). What is done to the human mind when one travels through time we are talking about ripping a whole in the very fabric of reality and putting it back together. Also who would want to volunter for something so dangerous in the movie where it seems time travel even in the future is hit or miss. (prisoners more likly they were).
