In Time (for another movie review)

Hey movie fanatics, I am back with another futuristic movie review.

An interesting dystopic movie with the intriguing concept of time being used as a currency and the amount of time a person has to live being the currency used by them. The trailers didn’t really seem that interesting when I first saw them taking away all my anticipation for the film itself. However, the concept of time quickly appealed to me and I wanted to watch this film more than ever. Set in a futuristic time but with the same issues of the current world, this film wasn’t up to par in terms of where they could’ve taken the film and the concept, however, it was still a good watch. The use of minimal green screen and editing combined with the emotive acting presented by the actors is what made this film even more realistic and seem as though we could end up in this future. However, the Robin Hood style vibe and story became quite predictable and after the initial introduction to the film, viewers would get quickly bored of the movie and not want to watch it further. It was too fast paced for people to truly relate properly to the main character, Will Salas (Justin Timberlake), even despite his extraordinary acting skills. Overall, a good movie with a good concept but quite dry and causes a loss of interest.

Rating: 5/10

Would I watch it again? Probably not
