Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Saiyan_Prince_Vegeta Time is very important in our lives, it's our most precious resource. This movie taught me that we have really a lot of time, but we need to use it correctly. One of the most powerful moments is when the girl says something like "We have 24 hours left" and JT basically says that - you can do really a lot in 24 hours. Wow... And this is true. You can do a lot in 24 hours, now imagine what you can do in a whole year if you use your time efficiently! I need to learn to use my time correctly and it will help me achieve more things in life. Good motivational movie, which teaches you also that it is never late to start doing something, because we really have a lot of time in our life
Mihai Toma This movie presents us a world in which money no longer exist. Instead, they have been replaced with time itself. People are genetically engineered to stop aging at 25 after which they get another year. This, of course, means that poor people have very short lives and rich people can live forever. In this world, Will struggles to live day after day, being ed only by his mother. After she dies and he gets over a century from a person who wanted to die, he decides to take revenge on the system. Shortly after, he finds Sylvia, daughter of a very rich person who hasn't enjoyed a single day of her life. She elects to betray her father, and Will on his quest, but things aren't going to be very easy as The Timekeeper and local mafia are on their tail.The whole concept is quite interesting although I have my doubts on how such a system could have been implemented when stealing or giving time is so simple. In some aspects, it's similar to "Robin Hood" but you don't end up feeling anything for the characters, which is a bit disappointing. Its plot is good but unfortunately too linear and has some flaws which can be spotted if you pay some attention to details. Overall, I can say it's a good movie but its rating has one or two points added just because of its action and its idea of time replacing money.
fredd12 I just saw "In Time" again for the third time or so, and it's my new favorite movie. It's hard science-fiction, much harder than most. The future doesn't look like "the future" at all, but more like the 1970s. The cops drive 1970 Dodge Chargers, not goofy electric golf- carts. There are phone booths, no cell phones, and the Internet is not a major force in anyone's life. No one is emigrating to Mars, as in "Gattaca (1997)" -- also written by Andrew Nicol -- and there are certainly no star-ships, and no space aliens. The single technology that has gone forward is medicine, and that life clock thing, naturally. "No one dies; no one gets sick." That's the thing that makes it "hard" science-fiction; it resists throwing a bunch of stuff on the wall, instead holding tightly to its premise. Because of the immortality-with-a-price premise and the 1970s action-movie styling, comparisons to "Logan's Run (1976)" are unavoidable. Whereas "Logan's Run" envisioned a future where we got everything we ever wished for, only to see it wind down, "In Time" envisions a sort of stagnant future that one rarely imagines in a movie, not even obviously dystopian, just stagnant. This is what I love about the movie: it's not really about immortality at all, but about Economic Fascism. In the movie, people have jobs making widgets, making just enough to live day to day. Prices are methodically inflated so that no one gets ahead. There's no upward mobility whatsoever. It's like "1984", except Economics (with the help of that clock thing) does all the work of the secret police. It's a metaphor for our modern post-2008-crash economy. This movie reminds me a bit of "The Island (2005)", which I also liked, a big difference being that there's no "secret". The characters in "In Time" tacitly consent to their situation. This is a fast-paced, beautiful action-adventure science-fiction film with a brilliant premise, destined to be a cult classic. Hollywood, please make more movies like this.
rosebpos No one seems to understand the economic and symbolic significance of this movie. Anyone who has traveled the world understands exactly what the director and Timberlake are saying. Travel the world and you will notice that everything is priced according to what each local population can afford to pay for it. Nothing is priced according to how much it costs to manufacture, but why? Because manufacturing costs have plummeted in the past few decades but pay rates have stayed the same, while retail prices have gone up? There is no such thing as the Free Market anymore, prices are set according to the country or District you live in. You sell your time for a paper currency that only has manipulated value according to what they deem products cost in your country. In Time is a symbolism of real life, of what has happened to our world.
