IN TIME

Time certainly dragged during this movie. I rated it a 4 just because the idea and theme was so clever; Bill rated it a 6 because they took a brilliant script and hacked it to sad and disappointing pieces with dull car chases and gun fights and uninspired acting and pointless drivel-dialogue.

Justin Timberlake was mis-cast; at least at this point in his career he is NOT a believable leading action hero character. He was wooden and stiff and looked especially robotic during the endless running scenes because he couldnt' waste time you see.

Wealth and longevity only occurred when one had lots of time which was illuminated on your forearm. So naturally (just like now, in fact) there were 1% of the population holed up in their special restricted time zone living opulent and sequestered long lives and then there were the rest who stole time from others.

Timberlake was paired with Amanda Seyfried who was also mis-cast and for someone on the run from her time-rich daddy she certainly had a lovely change of clothes and her makeup was always perfect and her skirts were incredibly short on her toothpick legs and most ludicrous of all, she did all her running in stiletto heels!

I couldn't wait till the movie was over so i could leave. A waste of time. (sorry, i had to.)

  1. Love reading reviews after we've seen the same movies. Always anxious to see if we (as usual) disagree! I gave this one a 6 and enjoyed the movie. I thought Timberlake did a great job. He's so cute..... The story was crazy and didn't make sense a lot, but enjoyable nonetheless. Happy that we saw it for sure. Thought the running in the stiletto heels was a bit bunch! See we agree on something! LOL
