15 Most Underrated Sci-Fi Movies Of All Time
9. 12 Monkeys
12 Monkeys is a time travelling, insane sci-fi adventure, directed by the great Terry Gilliam, in which a convict is sent back in time to stop the spread of a disease that has ravaged earth in the future.
Alongside Fight Club, 12 Monkeys is Brad Pitt at his absolute finest and a stark reminder of the kind of manic energy and terrific acting that led to him being such a recognisable star. Pitt is absolutely on fire in the film as he steals every scene he features in throughout and he is also complimented perfectly by Bruce Willis' straight man protagonist.
12 Monkeys can be hard to follow at points as Gilliam has a tendency not to use conventional narrative tools but it is so worth the effort because it is a brilliantly clever and well acted film that deserves a wider audience. As bonkers as it is brilliant, 12 Monkeys is one that deserves another look.
