12 Monkeys

The gist
Isolated future prisoner Bruce Willis is sent back in time to stop the Army of the 12 Monkeys from releasing a virus that ends up murdering most of the world’s population. Along the way he’s locked up in a𓆉 nut house and meets a cuckoo Brad Pitt, who later becomes founder of said army. Director Terry Gilli🍸am (Brazil, Monty Python) piles on the crazy with bizarre twists, baffling time travel physics, and one funky twist ending.

We’re in love with it and want a Blu-ray transfer done right, considering that the HD release is a little lacking. The film is intentionally grainy with soft colors, but s💞till looks leagues better than crummy ol’ standard def. Audio ain’t that great, but we still get the awesome feature-length documentary on the making of the film. If that’s not enough, at least we see Pitt actually acting b🍨efore he just looked cool and was hell-bent on snatching up orphan babies with his smoking hot girlfriend.
