4/4  Crazy Is Majority Rules...
Very underrated, this is the kind of movie they teach about in film school. Willis and Pitt deliver two unbelievable performances that only further define their extensive acting repertoires. 12 Monkeys is a great commentary on insanity, ch... (read full)

2.5/4  Terrific setting and acting
A real head trip. Terry Gilliam proves that he is one of the most visionary directors out there. 12 Monkeys follows the story of James Cole, played by Bruce Willis, an inmate of a federal tyrannic prison in the future which is a barren und... (read full)

2.5/4  Mark My Words
Based on Chris Marker's short film, La Jetee, this film is far inferior. However, it's worth watching. But it's silly and ridiculous. But it has good direction by Terry Gilliam. Brad Pitt at his silliest and I never bought into his perfor... (read full)

4/4  Gilliam gets mainstream.
This masterpiece contains probably the best performance by Willis and Pitt.

4/4  12 Monkeys Quick Review
When I saw this movie again 4 years ago, I was amazed. It had matured well, especially the concepts of time and the comedy it can create. Gilliam is truly a great director, when his ego doesn't get in the way. SciFi must see.

3.5/4  12 Monkeys Quick Review
When a movie makes you think, I consider that a good thing. Terry Giliam never makes a straight-forward film, and 12 Monkeys is no exception. Time travel, sanity and a killer virus - and it manages to find a good balance of wit and drama.

5/5 Don't listen to other review - this is a great disc
  by Joshua Pearl (Port St. Lucie, FL)
If you're a fan of 12 Monkeys, the blu-ray version is absolutely the best version to own. Calling it "not blu-ray quality" is humorous and also shows ignorance. That reviewer knows little about how this movie is supposed to look. Not every blu-ray is "supposed" to look like Crank or Pirates of the Caribbean. He probably thought the Godfather looked bad on blu-ray, too. 12 Monkeys looks exactly how it should on blu-ray and probably the best it will ever look.

Also, what most casual blu-ray fans/reviewers never mention is the lossless audio - I'm guessing because they don't even know what that is, and they're the same people that thought forever they were watching HD because they owned an HDTV, or the people that think they're getting a deal by spending only $70 on an HDMI cable on sale at Best Buy. The DTS-HD MA 5.1 track is a huge step up over whatever lossy track the DVD and HD DVD offered.

Don't hesistate to grab this. It's reasonably priced with a well-done transfer and great audio - strong use of surround sound and a crystal clear lossless track.

1/5 Not a Bluray quality
  by Said
I was dissapointed with the picture quality of this movie. This isn't a Bluray quality. Keep your DVD, if you have one, don't waste money by buying this movie on Bluray.
