The first time I saw this was in the Bahamas at the Atlantis resort. I was there for an insurance convention (believe it or not) and we brought it up on the PPV. I fell asleep during it and missed the last 20 minutes. I woke up to see the credits scrolling. Man, was I pissed.

I got over it by ordering porn the next day.

Having since seen the movie in its entirety, I like it.

Incredible film. Terry Gilliam will be long remembered, even though he gets hardly any recognition in the present.

Definitely enjoyable, although Pitt's performance grates on my nerves in small doses.

I thought Pitt's performance was a lot better than Willis's wearyandconfusedyetbored approach.

My friend is that kid in the beginning who plays a young-Bruce Willis' character.

I agree that neither actor gave a great performance, but the movie still ended up being great because of the direction.

Has some really memorable aspects, I like it. Has anyone seen La Jetee or whatever it's called?

I prefer Brazil, but this is a great movie too. Gilliam is awesome.

I first saw this on PPV in a hotel in Puerto Rico. I fell asleep with about 15 minutes left and woke up just as the credits started. I was pissed.

Yes, multiple times and its one of my favorites. Obviously 12 Monkeys is based on it. Chris Marker is brilliant.
