Time Travel at its Best

Rating: 9/10 (23 September 2003)

12 Monkeys is the best representation of time travel I have seen in a major motion picture. I don't want to give anything away for those who have not seen it. Brad Pitt gives an excellent performance as an insane and belligerent animal rights leader. His role in this film, among others, prompted me to view him as a serious, capable actor rather than a "hollywood hunk." Bruce Willis's performance as the unfortunate time traveler is equally as impressive. 12 Monkeys is unique in many ways, and simply must be seen by the modern film critic. I voted this film a 9 because of its fantastic twist on time travel and paradoxes. All-round great performances by the cast coupled with a fresh plot make for some excellent scifi.
