HD DVD Review: 12 Monkeys - Page 2

A commentary with Terry Gilliam and producer Charles Roven doesn’t cover new material when compared to the documentary. It’s a shame they don’t dive deeper into the storyline to finally clear up questions as well. Finally, the 12 Monkeys Archives is 40 minutes of stills, pre-vis, and mock-ups. Like the documentary, these are a direct lift from the laserdisc release without any added resolution. Some of them are barely discernible.

It’s tough to critique a movie like this without handing out spoilers. Needless to say, 12 Monkeys is very much a film that you’ll need to see for yourself. You’ll make a personal choice as to whether or not it makes enough sense to be considered a classic.
