2035. La quasi totalité de la population mondiale a été décimée par un mal mystérieux. Les survivants, réfugiés sous terre, mettent tous leurs espoirs dans un voyage à travers le temps pour prévenir la catastrophe. Désigné pour cette mission, James Cole (Bruce Willis), prisonnier condamné à perpétuité, débarque en 1996. Là, il rencontre Jeffrey Gaines, fils rebelle et détraqué d’un scientifique cruel, ainsi que le Dr. Kathryn Railly, psychiatre, qui va tenter d’élucider avec lui les mystérieux signaux lancés par une association secrète connue sous le nom de l’Armée des 12 singes… (UGC Ph)

Certains films peuvent nous offrir une expérience intellectuelle et d'autres une expérience émotionnelle. 12 Monkeys combine les deux, en présentant chacune de manière exemplaire et en les fusionnant harmonieusement à la fin. Une forme dans laquelle il est possible de découvrir quelque chose de nouveau même après dix visionnages, faisant ainsi de ce film une véritable pépite du genre de la science-fiction.

Imaginative, smart, engaging, dark, and very entertaining; one of the most interesting, perhaps even the best, time travel sci-fi fils ever made. It works as both a science fiction and a great and suspenseful thriller. Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt give excellent performances. Solid film. 80%.

In the best role of his career, Willis left his acting mannerisms behind and dropped his smile #1. An extraordinary film with a brilliantly conceived plot and a breathtaking ending. You won’t get bored for a moment and your brain will work at full speed. The only weakness is the Brad Pitt’s awful overacting, it ruined the impression of the film for me. Thanks to the gods of cinema for Terry Cilliam.

Unfortunately I can’t award twelve stars for the 12 Monkeys, but that changes nothing about the fact that this is not only the zenith of Gilliam’s works, but also the best sci-fi movie ever. And therefore is one of the best works of world cinema. The screenplay is flawless to the T and the ending, which you will comprehend only after watching it several times over and the optimism of the elating message (not the obvious one, but the one hidden under the surface), is just unbeatable. And that’s all I intend to write about this picture - if you have already seen it, you know how powerful and what genius these monkeys hold inside them. And if you haven’t, then you’ll understand when you see it.

Beautiful science fiction that has everything that good science fiction should have. Excellent plot, nice tricks, convincing acting performances (god, this Pitt!!!) and, above all, depth, as is customary with Gilliam. Unlike Brazil, it is very accessible, but not trivial and cheap. Gilliam's manuscript makes this apocalyptic story a riveting and incredibly suggestive spectacle. One more science fiction that could be indelibly written into film history. Does Gilliam have a patent for that?
