Overview

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 the son of a famous virus expert who may hold the key to the Army of the 12 Monkeys; thought to be responsible for unleashing the killer disease.

To watch the movie with a feeling of " everything is clear to me ", and towards the end to smile at the fact that the director has tricked you around his finger.
The film leaves behind a lot of questions and reflections.
I want to discuss it and recommend it to others to discuss again.
95th year, guys, and the director is already fumbling for the conflicts of the future.
The film is a maximum of three. The plot could have been very exciting, but I didn't like the style and format of the incarnation. Everything is kind of stupid, thrash, untidy. The way the alleged future was shown, in general, looks more like a mocking parody. Or it's a very limited vision of authors stuck in the 60s.

It's quite an exciting film for its time. I liked. Only Willis-nekop is a little different. It is not fully perceived as that.

Before criticizing the film, it is worth noting that he is 30 years old, as a child, of course, he looked more creepy. But there are too many questions after watching.

For the quote, about the fact that the film does not change, but your perception of it changes - like!
Ironically, I watched this movie for the second time! And I roughly remembered that it would end at the airport, and vaguely remembered that Willis had seen himself and that he would not survive. But it still looks great!
Well, Brad Pitt, uff

I watched the movie 10 times, and at 1:05:11 - Gavin, bitch, Belson)
I know it's cool, but I still haven't figured out the plot(. I started looking at comments and reviews, and I didn't understand even more. But it's interesting, of course.

@Stupid Penguin: Dr. Peters (laboratory employee) eco-activis, a psychopath, wants to "cleanse" the planet of humanity, for this he steals the virus from the laboratory and flies through the cities releasing the virus, the psycho (Pete) is a half-wit - a false trail, distracts attention with his antics, has nothing to do with the virus; Bruce, as well as others before he has a mission to find the source of infection, and he contacts Dr. Peters at the airport (when he tries to fly away with the virus), when Bruce tries to kill Peters, Bruce is killed in front of the boy - the boy is young Bruce, these events are imprinted in his memory, so he successfully finds the source of infection when he grows up, but Peters It has not been stopped, the epidemic has begun, the loop has closed

One of the most difficult movies to watch.
Something else surprised me. How in 2025 I didn't even know about the 40th anniversary movie starring Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt in tandem .. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

It turns out that nothing has changed, and it is unlikely to change, and this chain will continue. The whole movie thought that there would be a happy ending and everyone would be happy, but no, the future cannot be changed, we must live here and now!

@JR13: it depends on how to interpret the final scene on the plane. A female scientist from the future finally got to the virus samples, and that was Cole's original mission.

I watched the movie after the series, so even the wonderful Bruce and Brad don't take it the way they did in the series, it just happens. But if I had watched the movie before the series, I would have given it a 5 out of 5. For its age, the film is extremely good, and the series after the film perfectly reveals and complements a lot of characters. And of course, Goins wins Pitt in the series)

Pitt's performance is most striking, he has just perfectly adopted the image of a man with psychological problems. Although Bruce is acting in a role that is not quite standard for himself. I agree with some of the reviews - it's not completely clear where the truth is...It's a great movie and it looks good even after 26 years. If you are not a fan of vivid images based on multimillion-dollar effects, then the picture will go down with a bang. Although I can't say that this movie is visually terrible. I wasn't disgusted, I wasn't bored.
