enjoyable from beginning to end--great chemistry between the two main leads
The main idea is great : time is the currency. But the story isn t strong enough to justify all the hold up and action of the movie.
I like how they linked time and money together and how it made you think about not wasting time in our own lives. You just never know when it may run out!
This movie is one of the best idea i ever seen, but it's also one of the most representative metaphore of our everyday life. I'm giving a 5 star to this one because of theses reasons. But also, because i think the story line is awesome, the emotional feeling that this movie gives you is sweet and nice, it really comes and takes you from your sweet spot, keeping you interested at any moment about whats going to happen next. The only "bad point" which isn't truly a bad point in my opinion, is that it looks like they cutted a few part of the history so it fit in a casual 1-2hours of movie, but it is still pretty interesting so i keep my 5stars about it. Thumbs up.
A very simple but entertaining movie. Definitely worth a watch!
Never a dull moment!
3.5 Stars. It was a cool concept. Something to think about. The have-nots look at their time cause they can literally die any second. The 'haves' don't really worry. The upper and lower class divide is huge. The gated community concept is certainly a crazy idea taken to the extreme. And everyone being 25yrs old and forced to find work and money/time is scary to think about. Not to mention not knowing if someone is a 100yr old mother or a granddaughter or a sister or..etc that's hard to wrap your head around. This was very Gattaca-esque style film. Same not-to-distant future style and relatively older suped up cars and just makes you think.
Thrilling movie with a novel concept. Timberlake is actually quite good in this action/adventure. The plot moves quickly, and yet there is a lot of time to think about how "time is money". There is a little too much running at the end of the film and some of these scenes could possibly have been shortened. All in all, a gem of a movie.
I enjoyed this movie. It is defferent than the typical movie. A little out there but entertaining overall.
I had really high hopes for this movie as the concept sounds very interesting. Movie interest really dies off in the second half. Overall plot is dull and movie leaves you with some answered questions.
