It involves Bruce Willis in a dystopian future and a team of scientists 
who keep sending him back in time to try to avert the terrorist 
catastrophy that overtook civilisation - apparently perpetrated by a 
band calling themselves "the island of the twelve monkeys". As it turns 
out, this band is actually a bunch of kids out to cause a bit of 
trouble, and the real catastrophy was brought about by an eminent 
biological scientist who decided to murder the world. For no defined 
reason. Obviously nobody believes that Willis is actually from the 
future, and he slowly goes mad, eventually believing that his time spent 
in the future is actually a hollucination.

Basically, a very bad film that barely makes sense.

I think I'd class that one more as "rather hard to follow" rather than 
actually "incomprehensible".

Dune made absolutely no semblence of sence. I mean, events happen, and 
the events kind of vaguely make sense, but WHY are these events 
happening? And who ARE these people? And WTF is going ON here? I'm lost! 
Ditto for 2001. (Seemingly a random selection of camera angles.)
