Terrific sci fi time bender.

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2004)

This film is full of rich quirky character to go with the rich and quirky story. Bruce Willis stars and does a very good job in a role made for him. Brad Pitt steals the show as Jeffery Goines, a manic rich kid who is always over the top. Everyone shows up for duty and the story and director don't let them down. It is the future and a post apocalyptic future at that. The surviving humans spend most of their time trying to decipher how the apocalypse came about. It seems a virus killed most of the people but no one knows who started it. But the people do have prisoners go on the surface to look for clues. They also have a time machine to go back and try to prevent the virus from spreading. Bruce is one of the "lucky" prisoners who gets to travel in time in an attempt to stop the virus. The story was terrific and the movie never acted like it was dragging along. A sci fi movie that never felt pointless. The ending is uncompromising and totally classic. The musical cue to end the film is priceless.
