In Time
Basically its Robin Hood meets The Matrix, which for me is
an almost perfect combination. Add to
this the fact, that due to the entire cast having to look 25 or younger to
uphold a key part of the storyline, you have a vast selection of eye-candy; including
Justin Timeberlake, Olivia Wilde, Cillian Murphy (whose character seemed to feel the need to reaffirm his vocation every 5 minutes), and a very upgraded version
of Mamma Mia’s Amanda Seyfried (who is due to play Linda Lovelace next year…something
to look forward to!) then you would assume you have the perfect combination.
The only problem is, if you are part of the annoying group
that have to question things and look past the glamour just to pick things to
pieces, you are going to have a field day with the “flawfull” continuity
and storyline; or if you are one of those who have to take the not so hidden
metaphors, messages or philosophies of the film and strip them of all integrity, (I mean
Darwinian Capitalism…p-uh-lease) then like me this film will leave you momentarily
blinded by its Hollywood hypnotism and hegemonic manipulation but ultimately
dissatisfied.
