Review of Twelve Monkeys (1995) by Matt C — 19 May 2017
Terrifyingly dystopian in the most fun way possible. Terry Gilliam's signature wide angle close-ups place us right inside the fear-filled world of "12 Monkeys," and the phenomenal performances and bleak humor carry us through what is possibly the best time travel film of all time.
And not only is it a great film about time travel, it actually follows the time travel rules it sets for itself! It doesn't abandon logic twenty minutes in, the screenwriters actually made sure to keep everything accurate and appropriate and logical for what it establishes.
It's smart, it's funny, it's thrilling and it's probably Gilliam's best film, I really enjoyed it.
