Agreed (except for the 4 times bit - I may have seen it even more).
It's a movie where it seems every action and every line of dialog
served some purpose - nothing was wasted.
One flaw in the movie, though. Those who have not seen the movie may
want to skip the rest of this message.
The psychologist keeps saying (in 1994) that she feels she has seen him
before. That made no sense, whatsoever. She hadn't.

Yes - he had to make up for the movie.<G>
For those who don't know, the script for the movie was written first.

Of course not. A movie about maths would be boring.
It's a great movie. Dark, though. And I don't just mean the print quality.

Conversely, I get tired of hearing, "God has problems, so it must be
evolution."

I wish I had a life where 12 Monkeys was one of the most depressing
things I had seen...

I think that's it. The first time he landed in the middle of WWI, and
she had seen him on a photo from this period. Well, that's how I
remember the story, could be totally wrong...
