Goodness, that In Time, what a confusing movie. Not the plot, in particular. The plot revolves around Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried, whose characters doubtless have names, living in a futuristic dystopia where the citizenry ages until 25, and then is forced to earn more time in order to continue living. The amount of time available is indicated by a constantly ticking set of numbers on their wrist. Justin Timberlake lives in the ghetto where people constantly “time out” and die. Accordingly, he thinks this might be a bad system. Amanda Seyfried is a wealthy girl with too much time on her hands who joins him in overthrowing the system because Sullivan’s Travels was a fun movie (fine, Justin Timberlake kidnaps her). Suffice to say, it’s Logan’s Run + Occupy Wall Street + Bonnie and Clyde + A passion for time puns (“your money or your life! Wait, I forgot – your money IS your life”). More
