    This is the final movie in the "20th Century Boys" trilogy. Those familiar with the manga are in for a treat as this finale is different than the one told in the original manga. The movie gets bonus points for torturing viewers by withholding the identity of Friend until the absolute last moment of the movie - after the end credits have rolled. The storyline contains many characters whose separate journeys converge to reveal the secret identity of Friend and put a stop to his evils plans for global extermination. The acting, directing, writing, sound and CGI were very good. The 5.1 audio option made very good use of surround sound. As for extras, there's eight trailers for the movie, two trailers for the first and second "20th Century Boys" films, trailers for three other films. Definitely recommended.

    this is a movie for little 12 yr old Japanese kids made with the stiffness that infects television - bad scripts and lousy direction. not even close to your suggestion that it's similar to 12 monkeys, a movie bursting with creativity - talented players, director, and scenic splendor.
