Info

In the year 2035, convict James Cole reluctantly volunteers to be sent back in time to discover the origin of a deadly virus that wiped out nearly all of the earth's population and forced the survivors into underground communities. But when Cole is mistakenly sent to 1990 instead of 1996, he's arrested and locked up in a mental hospital. There he meets psychiatrist Dr. Kathryn Railly, and patient Jeffrey Goines, the son of a famous virus expert, who may hold the key to the mysterious rogue group, the Army of the 12 Monkeys, thought to be responsible for unleashing the killer disease.

Twelve Monkeys Audience Reviews

Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
thomasjay-52277 A fine film 'Twelve Monkeys' conveys a confusing story of rebellion, activism and time travel as well as cause and effect. The content seems bulky and is indeed however it's communicated well through the narrative and story which despite seeming fractured on a surface level is quite simple to follow, littered with surprisingly great performances from what's now recognised as a fantastic cast and brilliantly shot to convey multiple atmospheres there's many a reason why this film is highly regarded however for those who are more aware of the world of film and other releases within and outside of this genre a potential issue arises. The climax is triggered by a viewing of 'Vertigo' (Hitchcock,1958) rather fitting giving the relevance it has in relation to character identity and to some extent conspiracy which can sort of be applied to this film itself yet all seems a bit jarring having now seen both films. It's well documented that 'La Jetée' (Marker, 1962) was the main inspiration for 'Twelve Monkeys' but it feels a little cheap given that it's essentially beat for beat tha same film only the 'remake' (and I use that term very lightly) is slightly padded out by a few subplots which are mostly irrelevant to the core story of the film, nevertheless it's not all bad and the well shot '95 release is worth one watch at least.
gokhanerdogan37 This movie never getting old even 100 times you watch.
JacobFlynn True masterpiece and very enjoyable. The idea of the virus destroying everything and having to send a man back in the past is just brilliant. Only thing that bugged me is that we didn't have much info about the backstories of the twelve monkeys or the virus.
Bento de Espinosa I am convinced that most people here who rated this movie as "masterpiece" or excellent did it so because it was directed by a member of the Monty Python, which they, like me, love. Let me tell you: this movie is not that good! In fact it is bad.It is overlong, full of overacting, the sets look amateurish, the story is very confusing and the end is completely unsatisfying.Unfortunately, I felt like I wasted two hours of my life.
