Review 4K Movie

Director Gilliam is one of the most controversial directors in Hollywood; first of all, he does not make his films according to Hollywood laws. Each of his films is stunningly-great worlds filled with characters who don't just play their roles, but live the lives of their characters. Each of his films are some of the best representatives of their genre. His films are breathtaking to the imagination.

12 Monkeys is one of the best representatives of the science fiction genre, but the film is not made as sci-fi, there is very little sci-fi in it. But let's start in order.

The story tells the story of the not distant future, and about the fact that in 1997, due to a deadly virus killed 99% of the population. As you understand, not many people are left alive, but those who stayed are forced to stay underground, because there is a virus on the surface, so there is no way to go upstairs... But for some unknown reason on the surface of the Earth can safely walk various animals, they somehow do not die from the virus. But people under the ground are quite civilized society, they have scientists. And it is these scientists who are trying to reclaim the planet. Under the Earth people also have prison, and in this prison James Cole is the main character, he is sitting there for long time, 25 years to be exact. But here he gets a chance, he should become a volunteer and then clever scientists will send him to the past to collect information, and if everything will be successful, only then scientists will be able to return the surface of the Earth to people, and James Cole, will be pardoned and released from prison.

In the past he very quickly ends up in a mental hospital, because as you understand, no one believes his delusional stories about being from the future. In the mental asylum he gets acquainted with the not quite sane man Jeffrey Goins, who, according to the scientists, is closely connected to the '12 Monkeys', as the scientists believe the '12 Monkeys' are responsible for the world's destruction. At the asylum there is also a kind psychiatrist Catherine Reilly, who wants to help James recover, because it seems to her that they have met before...

Or maybe I only exist in YOUR head. (movie quote)

'12 Monkeys' is a very intriguing movie, and the main intrigue is that the viewer can't figure out until the very end of the movie whether James was really sent from the future, or does James actually live in the present and the future is only in his head? But '12 Monkeys' is not only a film about time, it raises very serious questions to a man, it makes you think, and there is a lot to think about after the film...

The actors play really well. This is one of Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt's best roles (for which he was nominated for an Oscar, but didn't win). You really do believe in these actors, and that's probably a sign of quality.

In general, you probably already realized that this movie is worth seeing. Some of you might not like it, some of you will squeal with delight, but you will not stay indifferent. (And the fact that the film was not awarded an Oscar, we'll forgive that...)
