In Time


You don't have to be a sci-fi nut to enjoy this wonderful, creative flick. Check out the duo on the run...they're taking on the establishment in a big way!

Here's the no-spoiler basic idea: folks in the future do not receive salary, because their society's stock in trade is not money. It is time. Yes, time. For example, if you work a good eight hour day, you put your arm under a machine as you exit your work place and get, say, 15 hours added to your life. Whoa...crazy stuff!

Not only that, but people can trade time. So if, for instance, you have two years and five hours of time in your bank, you can swap that time with someone else who has more or less in their bank.

What happens if you run out of time? You die! Haha! Great premise, no?

So along comes the two heroes, played admirably by Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried, who decide to defy that brutal system. Will there be rebellion? Will the two survive? How will they manage "time" so they can continue to live, help their loved ones, and still overcome the social beast?

Think out of the box. Think of what really counts in life. Think....

Grade of A. This is another film that ranks way up there with the most mind-boggling sci-fi.
