Review of In Time

In Time (2011)
10/10
Rad. Fun. Realistic. Pre- Steam Punk.

ENGAGING. The story of In Time shows us what life would be like when ideas like credit, loans go too far-into the world of birth.

Timberlake and Seyfried (Letters to Juliet) are timeless. I can't wait to see them work together again! From love scenes to action scenes they mix well, but not without a few artificial takes. Complimented by Cillian Murphy (The Dark Knight, 28 Days Later), Olivia Wilde, and Johnny Galecki (Roseanne) the movie soars.

CLOSE CALL!!! I was almost sure all of these (previously mentioned) actors would ruin the movie but they don't! Olivia does an amazing job here, better than last two movies, and Galecki tried his hardest to blend in and it works. As for Cillian Murphy I thought he did the best here showcasing the details of his past without saying much at all. I thought he would also ruin, but he did the opposite!

The cinematography was ravishing. I loved how this movie had a 40's aura, similar to Batman! It really made the world come alive. This is a great way to balance futuristic movies. You also get a "girls with guns", Terrintino, Anime splash blended in to everything smoothly.

The directing was great. There were a lot of great running shots and action scenes!

BONUS; There's a lot of great moral chatter here, and it makes In Time current, and fresh. Population control is a popular, with those of Hillary Clinton mentioning it recently, and China already enacting laws with birth. This movie will only become more important as time goes on. This is a great stand out feature that you don't find in similar movies, though sometimes the cliché moral dialogue is too repetitive.

See this before time runs out!

This is the best movie I've seen on this topic.
