Twelve Monkeys
It looks like a tragic story that takes place in 2035. The events of that story began when a virus appeared that wiped out most of the earth's inhabitants and the rest lived underground because the air was toxic. After a short while, Prisoner James Cole can get the release but on condition it seems very difficult. If you agree to return in time and collect information about that virus before it's too late, James can get out of this place.

speculative fiction at its best in that it doesn't just trifle with science fiction concepts, but rather tells a grander story with characters and world disasters

There's always overripe method to his madness, but in the new 12 Monkeys Mr. Gilliam's methods are uncommonly wrenching and strong.

While all of Gilliam's movies are worth seeing, there's a fair amount of his designer grimness here mixed in with the cabaret comedy.

One of the best-looking and smartest sci-fi films of the modern era.

Gilliam gives the material a lunatic poetry of his own, but remains impervious to the requirements of narrative pacing.

Terry Gilliam has seldom been more inventive or more compelling.

Bruce Willis, in an eruptive performance of startling emotional intensity, stars as Cole, a prisoner tagged for an experiment that may get him killed.

Gilliam goes on to deliver a movie that is not only rich in visual detail but offers an involving, occasionally baffling storyline and builds the tension to positively unbearable levels during the final reel.
August 12, 2005
Dark and somber like Blade Runner, this sci-fi is a spectacular mess, a convoluted film with too many ideas for its own good, blending (among other things) the virus thriller with the post-apocalyptic genre.
March 04, 2011
Gilliam's greatest all around film.
August 06, 2014
Constantly surprising and consistently unsettling.
March 26, 2009
Neither as visually compelling as Brazil nor as emotionally gripping as The Fisher King.
