Twelve Monkeys (1995)

For the first of the reviews I went for Twelve Monkeys, because it has crazy people in it, and I'm sort of nuts myself, also it has a parts with post-apocalypse, that I enjoy in a story.
First things first. Look at the picture to the left and smile , while you see more or less steam-punk atmosphere. For those who have not seen it, I will have to let you down here by telling you the horrible truth : this great sight is only when talking about the future, and that is not too much thou. That really made me sad , because it would have looked really cool, but it did not, most of the time it's simple 90's. That is not the only thing that made my mashed potatoes cold, there are holes in the plot that could have been filled with something ball crushingly exiting,
but were just tapped with "it sucks , but you did not expect that." Sure , it was a surprise at some points, but it did not make me go "wow, where did my nose go? "( Not making fun of you-know-who). Also there is something like a riddle down in there , but it is not as mindblowing as it was in Blade Runner. But because the movie uses time traveling, they took a nice opportunity to go a full circle , but if you are not as dumb as my friend brick is, you would know that this is going to happen. 
I don't know if i get the moral correct here. Is it that " if you try to fix stuff , don't travel back in time, because that will bring more trouble and in the end a near destruction of humans" or " No matter how hard you try to change things, you will only get shot several times and in the end change nothing , for history can not be changed, or you are mental in the first place" ? Don't get me wrong, I did liked it , but it did not blow parts of my body (brain you pervert) like i thought it would. In the end I will have to leave with a statement that is was a good try, but Blade Runner messed my mind more that you.

  4. I liked it, but I was pretty young when I saw it, so it scared me quite a bit.
