12 Monkeys
It’s 2035, the world has been ravaged by a monster virus, and the survivors huddle in an underground totalitarian society. A prisoner (Bruce Willis) is sent back in time to locate the virus so the catastrophic epidemic can be retroactively prevented.
The circumstances of this sci-fi time travel premise originated in a 1964 French art film (La Jetee), with nuclear war as the context, and were used again in the Terminator movies. But the updated idea remains seductive. The erratic but often delightful director Terry Gilliam (The Fisher King) puts the emphasis on witty dark comedy, with enough action and love story (Willis falls for Madeleine Stowe, the shrink assigned to treat him) to keep audiences interested.
The trail leads to an animal-rights activist group, led by a more than slightly crazy Brad Pitt, and there are some amusing images of liberated animals wandering around a big city freeway. Gilliam’s ultimate theme is that humans should settle for nothing less than the simple beauty of creation and human love. Flawed but imaginative, some violence; satisfactory for mature youth and adults.
