In Time is a sci-fi/thriller film set in the not-so-distant future where everyone grows up to the age of 25 and then a 1-year timer starts ticking down. That 1-year countdown serves as a constant reminder to not stop, as money does not exist in this world, rather everyone has a clock on their hand and they are paid in literal time. Time is scarce in this world and almost all of the population lives from day to day, with just a few hours left to spare each day.
We follow Will Salas (Played by Justin Timberlake) as he scrounges the world in search of, well, time. Finding a way to earn more, while working ungodly hours, rampant set-in inflation, and all that while not sleeping much, as sleeping in can literally kill you. One thing leads to another where death is even more and more of a constant occurrence, as those people who live day by day with just a few hours, now cannot even do that. A transaction gone bad, chased by the cops, kidnapping the ‘wrong’ person and much more all lead to a climactic end of little meaning. That aforementioned inflation can set in without any warning and your calculated budget will not get you past today, which now we know what that means.
Shot in Los Angeles with a constant dread set upon the city (or at least the part where the poor live). However, not far from there is a place where everyone can visit, but due to travel, hotel, dining cost and much more, only the wealthy can survive there. That said place on the other hand is clean, sophisticated and of upper class. In Time can be interpreted as many things and doesn’t shy away to lay down an open canvas, and ultimately lets everyone get a different meaning out of it.
Watching a sci-fi movie from time to time can be refreshing, especially if its premise sounds interesting. In Time offers an interesting story and not much more.
