Renewing acquaintance

Rating: 5/10 (24 June 2018)

After about 23 years I watched this movie again. Over the last view years I have enjoyed watching the series '12 monkeys' which was based on this film. I remembered that I did not enjoy this movie that much when I saw it the first time.
The reason for not liking this movie has not changed. The character James Cole was a distasteful fellow and spoiled the movie from the outset, because of his psychotic behavior and the scenes in the asylum. The role of Kathryn Railly, on the other hand, saved this film for her strong performance. The twist in the film, although good sci-fi, is not that clear at the end. But it appears I am in the minority as the very positive ratings the movie got, proves otherwise.
I will stick with the series '12 monkeys', which unfortunately is reaching the end soon. I find this a superior product and much more enjoyable to watch.
