Product Description

Amazon.ca

As a storyteller, Andrew Niccol tends to think big, tackling heady subjects such as genetic predestination (Gattaca), the nature of reality (The Truman Show), and celebrity in the cyber age (S1m0ne). In Time, Niccol's first film since 2005's Lord of War, has a typically gigantic premise--a world where everyone over 25 years old must pay for every continued second of their existence--but stumbles in the execution. While the ideas are exceedingly clever, the telling isn't especially witty. Justin Timberlake stars as a goodhearted but desperate minimum-wager trapped in a society where the rich are essentially immortal and the poor see their lifespan shorten with every purchase. (A cup of coffee costs 4 minutes, taking the bus also takes 30 minutes off of your life, and so on.) After being gifted with a century by a mysterious benefactor, he begins a romance with a beautiful socialite (Amanda Seyfried), whose father holds the key to the entire monetary system. Matters are complicated with the introduction of a relentless time cop (Cillian Murphy) with his own motivations for restoring the unnatural balance of things. Niccol has fun laying out the aspects of a world where even the elderly are genetically frozen at age 25 (the scenes where Timberlake interacts with his mother, played by a disturbingly spry Olivia Wilde, are an unsavory hoot), but has difficulty translating the ingenuity of his concept to a compelling narrative, which rapidly devolves into a mix of uninspired chase scenes and a succession of time-related puns that would have trouble passing muster on a Laffy Taffy wrapper. (The bad guys threaten to clean Timberlake's clock. Repeatedly.) While science fiction aficionados will find much to chew on in Niccol's askew reality, In Time never quite hits the marks that its own ideas suggest. As a film, it's more fun to think about than watch. --Andrew Wright

5.0 out of 5 stars In Time Oct 7 2012
By koolz03 TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Blu-ray
So basically going into this movie I thought it would be bad because the reviews have been so-so and it stars Justin Timblerlake who I dislike a lot so I wasn't expecting much. But I gotta say this movie was highly intriguing. The concept was innovative and the storytelling was good enough to keep me interested until the very end. I thought Justin Timberlake fit this movie well and Amanda Seyfried was a great co-star as well. I would absolutely watch this again!

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Plot... Poor Acting Feb 5 2012
Format:Blu-ray
The concept behind the movie is very intriguing. At the age of 25, you stop aging, and are given 1 more year to live. All payments, whether that be receipt for work, or spending on coffee is now done in time (Apparently it costs 4 minutes of someones life to buy a coffee). The plot alone was interesting, if not all over the place, and I enjoyed the movie in general. But the acting was horrid. I enjoyed JT in Alpha Dog, and enjoy Amanda Seyfried in almost all she is in. But there reactions to the situations presented were unrealistic, and truthefully felt like they had almost no emotion at all. If you are looking for an interesting story, I think the premise is enough to give you that. If you are looking for an interesting story that is well acted, you will be dissapointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sci-fi thriller based on interesting concept Feb 8 2012
Format:Blu-ray
By Jim Clark, publisher, Lee County Courier, Tupelo, MS

What if the government did away with money? Is it conceivable that we could get paid with time? That's the storyline behind In Time, originally titled Now and I'm Mortal.
It's 2161. Genetic alteration has advanced to a state where humanity stops aging at 25. People must earn more time after 25 or they will die within the year.
The time you have left is visible on your forearm. Those who have a lot of time keep their arm covered so someone won't mug them and take their time.
Society has been divided into 'Time Zones.''The poor live in Dayton and that's where we find 28-year-old factory worker, Will Salas (Justin Timberlake). He lives with his mother Rachel (Oliva Wilde).
One night Will stops by a bar where he sees a rich man (he has 105 years) Henry Hamilton (Matt Bomer) flaunting his good fortune. Will helps Henry escape, and in return, Henry gives Will his time. Henry then commits suicide or 'timed out.'
Timekeepers, a sort of futuristic police, investigate and soon are led to pursue Will after seeing him in contact with Henry via video surveillance.
Will can't wait to reach his mother to share some time with her. She is running out. Her time expires and she dies in his arms.
Will then remembers what Henry said to him, 'For few to be immortal, many must die, your mind is worn out, even though your body may not be. We want, we need, to die.'
This is one cool movie. Don't miss it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Justin times his roles perfectly
I can understand why some people did not like this movie but I loved it. It has a bit of a dopey premise that time is the new currency that can be used, traded or stolen. Read more
