One of the great Sci-Fi movies of the 90s

Rating: 9/10 (25 July 2005)

James Cole(Bruce Willis) lives in an apocalyptic future where disease has taken over the earth and only a very small percentage has survived by living underground. He is chosen to be sent back in time to 1996 to gather information on the 12 monkeys army, who is said to have been the source of the disease spread. Instead, he is sent to 1990 where he is immediately thrown in jail and then sent to an insane asylum. In the asylum he meets psychologist Kathryn Railly(Madeline Stowe) and a patient named Jeffrey Goines(Brad Pitt). James is sent back the his future and sent him to 1996 this time. James kidnaps Kathryn for help to find the information he needs about the 12 monkeys. He finds something astonishing, Jeffrey Goines is the leader of the 12 monkeys. A psychological journey awaits James Cole as tries to determine whats real or what is just in his mind.
12 monkeys is definitely one of the Top Ten greatest Sci- Fi movies of all time. It is clever and entertaining along with everything that makes a Sci-Fi movie great. Bruce Willis and Madeline Stowe give great performances, but the real surprise was the performance from Brad Pitt. It is definitely his best performance of all time. Overall, the movie just all-around great science-fiction.
I highly recommend this movie.
