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 »
