I liked it.

Some people get this film straight off, others don't have a clue what is going on. I got it, and I liked it. It's far more interesting then most sci-fi films, in that it doesn't try and be too geeky about the sci fi parts. The time travel is taken as something that just happens, they don't try and bore you with an explanation of how it works. The plot isn't spelt out to you- you need to remain concentrating, and at the end, you can sit there thinking of where the plot holes are (there are very few, though some people would have you believe otherwise). Where some films are content with just one plot twist, this film has many, each one adding something major to the plot. I can understand why people don't like Twelve Monkeys. Some people don't get the plot. Some people do get the plot, and think it's trying to be too clever. Some people just don't like Bruce Willis or Brad Pitt, though I think they create believable characters and DO show an ability to act. Some people just don't have my tastes. This is a clever film that will leave you thinking. It does go on a bit, but if you watch the film a second time, you'll find this doesn't matter.
Not sure how to end this, as there are people who love the film, and people who hate. I love it, but don't take that as a recommendation.
