In Time

Hey, can you spare a minute? This is an interesting idea. Everyone says, "Time is Money." What if it actually was money? And that is about as far as it goes, an interesting idea that is. Here is my biggest problem with this movie. You have to establish a reality. This one makes me believe it is in the future. A future where Time is the new money,everyone has clocks in their arm, all the cars look the same, pay phones make a come back, and no one ages physically past 25. WHY?! They make reference to "The clock" by saying, "I didn't start the clock." Who did? Why did they? How does that clock get in your arm? What makes you not age past 25? Why are there people clearly not 25, but are supposed to be? And why the heck did cell phones die? I don't need good reasons, just reasons. Not because it "Is". That makes it lame. It would have made more sense to have ketchup packets as money because at least they exist and I don't wonder how it came to be. But that problem in itself renders the film pretty much invalid. Do you like cliches? how about cliches about time? Then get ready because this one has ALL OF THEM. Making time, quality time, time in your hands, blah blah blah. It got to the point where you count them, and if i was doing that I have quit the movie. The action was also very lack luster. Of course this is a world where unless you have a terrible accident then you could in theory live forever as long as you have time on your clock. So, why would you engage in such risky behavior? The acting was fine Justin Timberlake was fine. Very cool and very James Bond, but he get accused of murder by being caught on camera. On camera where a man jumped off a bridge. How did you not see that dude? Anyway, Amanda Seyfried was cute in a sort of odd way. She goes from "snotty" to "naughty" and it pretty much work. Cillian Murphy is a time keeper. He makes sure that time stays as it should be and no one is doing wrong. He is wierd and tough and cool, too. The one problem i had with the cast was Olivia Wilde. There was not enough of her! she runs out of time at the start and I am left in a Wileless world :( This movie would be fine if it were from red box, then i would not expect the questions to be answered, I would still be pissed about Wilde, but sad action scenes would also make sense. Don't waste time, by making time to go see this in a theater.
