Terry Gilliam's mind-bending 1995 film gets a reboot as a series for the U.S. cable channel SyFy. In a time when Ebola is in the news daily and "Plague Inc." is a top-selling game on the App Store, this tale of time travel and a humanity-destroying virus seems to be in touch with the zeitgeist. Emily Hampshire, the lead actress in the series, does nothing to surpass Brad Pitt's demented asylum patient from Gilliam's version. Rent the original.
