At the movies: 12 Monkeys

12 Monkeys: 3

Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt in a Terry Gilliam (Time Bandits, Brazil, Adv. of Baron Munchausen) movie about time travel and doomsday viruses.

This was a different movie than I expected. I was really expecting it to be far more of a horror movie. Instead it's more of a steam punk time travel movie.

Brad Pitt did a decent job with the not-quite-sane, son of a virulogist. Bruce did a decent job as the protagonist time-traveler.

A very quirky movie, with the indelible imprint of Terry Gilliam. I enjoyed getting this one off of my list of wanted-to-see movies.
