Into the Funhouse with Terry Gilliam

Rating: 9/10 (12 May 2009)

A visually stunning and mind-bending sci-fi movie from Terry Gilliam (of Monty Python fame).
Bruce Willis is a convict sent back in time to uncover more information about a lethal virus that will eventually wipe out mankind. The film has an "into-the-funhouse" feel about it -- it's worth watching for the production design alone. It also happens to feel especially relevant right now, in a world that's obsessed with fears of diseases and epidemics (swine flu, anyone?)
The cast also includes Madeleine Stowe as a love interest for Willis, and Brad Pitt, Academy Award nominated as a loony.
Grade: A
