DVD Reviews of 12 Monkeys (Special Edition)

DVD Review: 12 monkeys are here
Summary: 5 Stars

I've loved this movie since highschool and was so happy to find it without having to buy Mercury Rising or some other bad movie along with it. Why do they always package a bad movie with a really good one?? Anyways, it came in tip top shape and was watched the same.

DVD won't play even in my Sony HD DVD player. Am told that my brand new player needs an update. Not worth my time. Went with Blu Ray. LG

DVD Review: AWESOME

I just replied to the reviewer who posted the review about sending a "moron" to do the job. Below is the comment I posted to his review. Oh, and 12 Monkeys was AWESOME! Must See!!

DVD Review: 12 Monkeys Blu-ray
Summary: 3 Stars

It is a Blu-ray, a German Blu-ray. To watch the movie in English, you need to know a bit of German to go into the menu which is in German and switch to English and turn off the German subtitles. Otherwise, it is good disc.

DVD Review: Overwrought.
Summary: 3 Stars

12 Monkeys starring Bruce Willis is a long, dragged-out drama. I wish this film was shorter but the acting is incredible from Willis and Brad Pitt. There is a lot of time travel and strange scenes but people seem to like this movie. This mystery is a mixed bag for me.

Inspired by Chris Marker's acclaimed short film La Jet?e (which is included on the DVD Short?2: Dreams), 12 Monkeys combines intricate, intelligent storytelling with the uniquely imaginative vision of director Terry Gilliam. The story opens in the wintry wasteland of the year 2035, where a virulent plague has forced humans to live in a squalid, oppressively regimented underground. Bruce Willis plays a societal outcast who is given the opportunity to erase his criminal record by "volunteering" to time-travel into the past to obtain a pure sample of the deadly virus that will help future scientists to develop a cure. But in bouncing from 1918 to the early and mid-1990s, he undergoes an ordeal that forces him to question his own perceptions of reality. Caught between the dangers of the past and the devastation of the future, he encounters a psychiatrist (Madeleine Stowe) who is initially convinced he's insane, and a wacky mental patient (Brad Pitt in a twitchy Oscar-nominated role) with links to a radical group that may have unleashed the deadly virus. Equal parts mystery, tragedy, psychological thriller, and apocalyptic drama, 12 Monkeys ranks as one of the best science fiction films of the '90s, boosted by Gilliam's visual ingenuity and one of the finest performances of Willis's career. --Jeff Shannon
