Twelve Monkeys (1995) - 1/2 stars out of 5 stars


There is a new TV series based on this 1995 film that runs a long 129 minutes,thats why I viewed it.Big mistake.Great cast and very poor story.The series we shall get to at a later date perhaps but THAT is FAR superior than this confusing movies story so I’ll leave it at that. Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below.

An unknown and lethal virus has wiped out five billion people in 1996. Only 1% of the population has survived by the year 2035, and is forced to live underground. A convict (James Cole) reluctantly volunteers to be sent back in time to 1996 to gather information about the origin of the epidemic (who he's told was spread by a mysterious "Army of the Twelve Monkeys") and locate the virus before it mutates so that scientists can study it. Unfortunately Cole is mistakenly sent to 1990, six years earlier than expected, and is arrested and locked up in a mental institution, where he meets Dr. Kathryn Railly, a psychiatrist, and Jeffrey Goines, the insane son of a famous scientist and virus expert. Written by Giancarlo Cairella <vertigo@imdb.com>
