12 Monkeys features a relatively simplistic approach to the flow of time, but the method of the movie's storytelling can sometimes make it difficult to follow. Many of the main characters experience the timeline in their own way due to the intervention of temporal technology and personal perceptions. As one of Bruce Willis' best sci-fi movies, the 90s classic helped match and further the standard for onscreen time travel stories.
The reveal of Cole's"dream" actually being his past is a brilliant and mind-bending twist when it all comes together. 12 Monkeys' Timeline Explained In Chronological Order James Coles' perspective isn't the only way to view the 12 Monkeys timeline Close As with some of the other best time travel movies, 12 Monkeys' events can be perceived in multiple ways. While the most logical way to follow the story is through the eyes of the protagonist, it can be an interesting exercise to lay out the events in the order they happened in the timeline at large.
World War I James Cole is born 1990 1996 2035 12 Monkeys' ending never reveals whether those in the future gathered the sufficient amount of intel required to develop a cure for Dr. Peters' virus. Such a revelation would lie in the movie's future beyond that of events shown in 2035. The future scientist taking her seat alongside Dr. Peters on the flight to San Francisco brings with it a hopeful implication of success, but this is never confirmed.
12 Monkeys' time-travel logic means there is some hope after the movie is over, regardless of how unchanging the timeline might be. The fact that the past is fixed means the present and future must also be. It suggests a strong level of fate and predetermination. So, in theory, humanity has already either failed or succeeded in thwarting Dr. Peter's virus-based endgame.
