stunning visually and intellectually stimulating

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2003)

Terry Gilliam always gives the customer a visual banquet in his films and often challenges the intellect as well. (ie Brazil) This could possibly be the best ever performance by Bruce Willis as a confused time traveling agent of a team of scientists in the future trying to track down a virus that wiped out the surface human population of the Earth. Brad Pitt is hilarious as the crazed son of a present day scientist who might have released the virus. Gilliam's organic machines of the future are intriguing and strangely beautiful. A must see for fans of the genre.
