The best sci-fi film of 90's

Rating: 9/10 (15 July 1999)

I watched the film from its first second to last with a great pleasure.Subjects have chosen perfectly.The madness theme is treated very well.12 Monkeys contains some ecological criticism.These expressions shows that Terry Gilliam is a very important director for the cinema.His residence conceptions are brilliant.The basic building stone of the film is Gilliams' images.
Terry Gilliam analyzed all characters in an affective way.Also his expression about characters and expression speed is very important for the film structure.Camera is always active in close scales.Specially when Jeffrey Goines(Brad Pitt) get into the picture camera speeds up crazily.
Following the characters' psychological situation is the first stipulation of this film.James Cole(Bruce Willis) is an unusual character with his strong body,his aggression and his low intelligence. In underground we see Terry Gilliams' images symbols.In the face of the ground we see grayness,strange, hazy images.The story is the story of the salvation of human future.The story is the story of the James Coles madness.Add to all two extraordinary performances(Willis and Pitt).Despite its faulty story expression('cause images are more important for Terry Gilliam), 12 Monkeys is the best science-fiction of the 90's.
