The more you see it, the more you see

Rating: 10/10 (2 December 1998)

This is perhaps the most densely-woven, intricate, plot I have ever seen. The acting & imagery all rise to the level of excellence the story demands. This movie is utterly recursive! It chases its tail and makes a fascinating tale that can be viewed from many angles as many different stories. Is it about time travel? Madness? The nature of reality? Is it an action movie about Bruce Willis dealing with the inevitablility of (ahem) Armageddon? Yes to all! The film even takes a jab at ITSELF when the lead character watches a film he saw as a kid & comments that the movie's the same, but HE's changed, so it's all different. That sums up the film as well as anything can! If you like entertainment that engages & challenges you, see this movie - better yet buy the video & watch it over & over, each time it's different! My only question is how Terry Gilliam ever intended to follow THIS!
