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 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.

Viewing Notes

Much needed revisit! Glad Ron had the Blu so I could borrow. Had the dvd from the library but had to return it. Blu is fine but I bet a UHD would look great.

This really is a terrific film with everyone firing on all cylinders. Willis is so fucking good as is Brad Pitt but I was entranced with Madeline Stowe this time around. She really keeps everyone grounded in reality to be the audience surrogate.

If there is a UHD I may pick it up. This is a movie worth revisiting every couple of years.
