In Time


Released in October 2011, this movie stars Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried. It was directed by Andrew Niccol and is classified as an action sci-fi thriller.

In a future where people stop aging at 25, but are engineered to live only one more year, having the means to buy your way out of the situation is a shot at immortal youth. Here, Will Salas finds himself accused of murder and on the run with a hostage - a connection that becomes an important part of the way against the system.

I never liked Justin Timberlake (not a fan of his music), but in this movie he did well with his roll. Allot of critics said that he did horrible but I as a non-profession critic state other wise.

He acted his roll. He played the part. 

This movie had a interesting take on time, life, and the economy. The rich lived forever and the poor died (not very different from today). He practically took up the roll of Robin Hood, giving time to the people who didn't have any to spare. 

But not all the rich in this movie are stingy, which is great, of course. Some people listen to their conscience when it says something needs to change.

This movie shows how not all people should be judged by there covers, points how going through hardship can make someone have different, and sometimes better, morals than someone who has had everything handed to them. It shows how people can change. One more thing it points out, which is also true in the real world, is how the world can't function if someone doesn't suffer for it.

Their economy crashed cause people were given time, people who many thought didn't deserve it. The same thing would happen if to many people got their hands on a large sum of money. 

If that happened everyone would eventually be screwed. This is an ugly fact of the world and one that unfortunately we will all have to live with no matter where we go. All we can hope for is something stable, to be happy, and to not waste our time.

Over all I enjoyed the story, the futuristic Robin Hood. It wasn't slow. There was the right amount of emotion between the two main characters and the acting was good. Not to mention I enjoyed the ending.
"I told you there were bigger banks." Priceless.

This one will be added to my to watch again list. Reason: It was just an overall good movie.
