English At the time of the film's creation, I would probably appreciate it in the sense that it is interesting in its form, on the other hand, it is also simple because of that. The director relied on having an interesting story, which, to be honest, it did, but this execution is really too artistic. ()

English A short artsy demo of 12 Monkeys that managed to make its greatest limitation a virtue. Where else can you see such a static yet dynamic and emotionally charged form? The only negative side is its insufficient length. This deserved to be feature length back then. Rather than waiting thirty-three years for Gilliam's skill. ()
