About this movie

Welcome to a world where time has become the ultimate currency. You stop aging at 25, but there's a catch: You're genetically-Engineered to live only one more year, unless you can buy your way out of it. The rich "Earn" decades at a time (Remaining at age 25), becoming essentially immortal, while the rest beg, borrow or steal enough hours to make it through the day. When a man from the wrong side of the tracks is falsely accused of murder, he is forced to go on the run with a beautiful hostage. Living minute to minute, the duo's love becomes a powerful tool in their war against the system.

Probably the worst movie I have ever seen. Whoever says this was a good is either blind and doesn't know it or is freaking retarded. I'm doing you a huge favor, save your "time" and money and don't watch this film. Even if it was for free, don't watch it. Even of it was the last movie on earth, destroy the copy and never speak of it as long as you live.

The basic premise was really intriguing, but whoever (re)wrote the screenplay for general mass appeal probably didn't think about the concept as conceived by whoever the studio bought it from. The "time is money" paradigm was little more than a plot device running in the background of an unoriginal Hollywood action/drama. ***SPOILER ALERT*** I watched this in the theater at least as much to see Pete Campbell die as I was piqued by the idea behind the movie. He doesn't.

I gotta say I'm pretty upset that I wasted my time watching this movie. It's like if someone was like "hey, what if time was literally money?" and started writing the script, realized it was a terrible idea, but still wrote it anyway. Even if you're a fan of Justin Timberlake, sci-fi movies about dystopian futures and inequality, time puns, and bad movies, I still wouldn't recommend watching this movie. The twist/conspiracy was dumb and completely obvious from the start (spoilers: the rich people choose to not let everyone live forever just because they're jerks). The ending was also terrible (that thing they do at the end? yeah they just keep doing that), and just left so many questions unanswered. What's the deal with Justin's dad? Why would people arm-wrestle to the death? Why did the Scarecrow guy become a time cop even though he used to be poor? We'll never know. If you want to watch a sci-fi movie in a dystopian future that's about economic inequality, just watch Elysium instead. Or hell even Hunger Games. Anything's better than this waste of time.
