Great moments and a fantastic use of the sci-fi tropes. Though, I wish it was deeper and had more for the audience to access. Willis is fascinating but ultimately its Gilliam's vision that works best.

Strong acting and good story make for a pretty good film. This is one of the best performances from Willis I've seen.

Not as good as the french "La Jetée", in which it is inspired, but has nice moments because of the good story. The acting is ok, too.

the airport scene with a slow motion of Stowe’s face gave me chills. “I’m in insurance” fuck yeah.

Hated this on first viewing, but it's actually pretty great. Great vision and direction from Gilliam held up by strong performances from Willis, Stowe and Pitt who steals the show.

Oh how I wished this film was about a simian underdog football team with a fedora-wearing chimp coach instead of a dreary dull sci-fi hob-nob.

Proof that lousy acting and over-complication can ruin a wonderful story.

Still love this film, Gillilam's masterpeice and I think somewhere in my top 50. There are a couple scenes that stood out for me, when Bruce is in the back seat of the car listening to Blueberry Hill, the emotions on his face is just wow. Also the scene where you frist meet's Pitt's character in the mental ward, awesome. This is one of Pitt's best roles and same with Willis,can't believe he wasn't nominated for this.

A nice twisted movie with intriguing plot storyline. The casts, the sets, and the whole picture was a great one. Downbeat, engaging, surreal, and strange but in a good way. Another Terry Gilliam's imaginative direction.

One of the best mindfuck movies ever (up there with Mulholland Dr., Inception, and its ilk), and Gilliam manages to get Willis to give a great performance. It’s brilliantly written, and all three actors are great. But what’s truly incredible is how Gilliam did it. He didn’t have a whole lot of time, or money, but he makes it look and feel truly extraordinary. A truly great film.

I resisted seeing this, thinking wouldn't like it and would be annoyed with friends gushing over it, but I liked it, and totally loved that it ended with the romantic reconnect.

It's sad that I could relate to Bruce Willis when he cried to Blueberry Hill. I'm from the present, and I cry with nostalgia that isn't my place to have when I hear good old blues

Gilliam had a good run in the 80s and 90s, what happened in the past decade one couldn't say. His stuff just got flat. That aside, Pitt's performance is great. One of his best to date, in my opinion. Does anyone else think of Depp's HST when they watch him, or is that just me?

Im glad that in the end bruce willis didn't turn out to be scizophrenic or something. That kind of thing just ruins the whole movie.

Inspired (and not a remake) of Chris Marker's black and white science fiction film. 12 Monkeys constructed a story line that tries to broaden the 28 minute short film made by Marker. The curiosity is high without fail as it exposed in layers the event leading to the fate of James Cole (Bruce Willis). There is a beautiful madness into it, but nevertheless a madness in an unwavering attempt to solve a mystery.

Probably the best performance I've seen from Brad Pitt besides Fight Club.

The main problem here is the plot is too revealed, too quickly. The entire dramatic foundation of this movie is 90% blown within the first half, and all we're left with is another science-fiction film that raises more questions than answers...and not in a good way.

In my opinion, this is definitely one of the best sci-fi films ever made. Instead of an epic about a post apocalyptic world, this film focus more on the drama of Bruce Willis' character as he travels through time, and attempts to put together pieces of information that will reveal important facts about the past. Every new information he gets, tells us something about the plot of the movie, but we never know the whole story until we've reached the end. And it's worth it! One very nice touch is the use of a tango (Suite Punta del Este) as a main theme for the soundtrack. Just perfect. :)

The film that legitimized Brad Pitt. I'm a sucker for time travel stories and this is a great entry from a cursed director.
