12 Monkeys (2006, HD DVD)

Movie Description
When a man enters a hospital claiming to have journeyed back in time from the year 2025 to stop a killer virus from exterminating mankind, a beautiful psychologist decides he might be more than delusional. Terry Gilliam populates this labyrinthine, apocalyptic film with twisted characters and eerie revelations. The film was shot primarily in Philadelphia; Gilliam uses the more dilapidated area of the city to the film's apocalyptic advantage. The film is based on the 1962 French short film LA JETEE.

Credits
Producer:Charles Roven
Cast:Brad Pitt, Bruce Willis, Christopher Plummer, Madeleine Stowe

    Twelve Monkeys

    Bruce Willis is spectacular in this futuristic thriller. Twelve Monkeys is about a scientist who goes back in time to try and stop the release of a toxin in the air that caused the demolition of man kind.

    Overall this is one of my favorite Sci-Fi films of all time, it's innovative, creative, and tons of fun.

    I didn't like this movie the first time I saw this back in '96, but after watching it a couple years ago I had to buy it, and now I watch it routinely.

    Final Verdict:

    5/5

    Rent or Buy?: If you love Bruce Willis, you'll love this film. Although I'd recommend renting it first though, if you're not a huge sci-fi fan, just in case.

    IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.

    I have finally gone HD. Blu-Ray and HD-DVD are very similar in their visual quality, but, Blu-Ray is still a little better.

    This movie I purchased it originally in VHS, then DVD and now HD. It is astoundingly better in HD. ALL SCI-FI NEEDS TO BE TRANSFERRED.
