In Time effectively introduced a whole new aspect of
Technological Advancement that does not need any robotics at all.
I really loved the premise and the concept of the film. I
commend the Director and the Writer for bringing a whole new flavor of the
future by introducing Time as an essential element and substitute for money and
status symbol.
This film may lack a sort of impact and may not be your
high-octane film but “In Time” delivers its thrill and excitement through its
creative, stylish and original plot that will glue you until the end. It may
not be as profound as other films, but this movie gives you a great ride of
saving your time by all means.
Upon watching this film, you’ll learn to give importance to
every minute of your time and be able to make the most out of it for your loved
ones.
What this film lacks is its profundity in terms of
storytelling and plot scheme. The movie did not fully contain a good background
on the whole concept of TIME. The film must focus their premise on the Company
that started the whole thing. The plot lacks the exposition of such Company and
how they were able to steal time all over the world. The timekeepers were not
also given much emphasis on their roles in the film. With enough background and
in-depth approach, the film would be better as it should be in terms of
execution.
But nevertheless, In Time still delivers its whole new
concept. Cinematography-wise, the film is good and smooth. Production may not
be as impressive as it should be, but the concept of different Time Zones make
this film distinct. You could really identify the status symbol of every
individual through the Time Zone she or he is in. And with this concept, the
film effectively delivered at an average note.
Justine and Amanda were also good in the film but not exceptional.
I see their Chemistry and charm together. I must say this one of the greatest
film of Justine and Amanda to date. Although Justine lacks emotion at some
point, he was able justify his role until the end. Amanda, on the other side,
is as beautiful as her portrayal in the movie.
It is a good popcorn movie that will literally ratify the
saying that “TIME IS GOLD”.
RATINGS: 3.5 STARS
