In Time Movie Review

I can't remember how many movies I have watched in a week, but this one will be one of the best ones that I have watched so far in this year. 

This time around, it is the "In Time" by Andrew Niccol starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried.

Basically it is a science fiction movie that talks about time being used as currency and people stop aging at 25 years old. Time has become something you can gain and something you can lose. The more time you have, the longer you can live. So people basically trade time instead of paper money. And there are different time zones where in each zone, there are different amount of total time available to the citizens. And as usual, some of the zones are being discriminated so that people in the other zones can live better, or rather live longer. 

The story is about Will Salas (Justin Timberlake), who is from the poorer time zone, trying to change the corrupted system after his mother has timed out because of the insufficient time that she had. During his fight, he met Sylvia Weis (Amanda Seyfried), who came from the rich time zone where the rich can live forever, was sick of staying alive as long as she doesn't do anything stupid. Two of them joined forces and robed the time banks thus damaging the system.

The story was in fact very interesting where they director presented a whole new concept using the old saying, Time is gold. For me it is a good show, inspiring people to value time more. :)

Food for thought
Time is precious, once passed, they can never be brought back. Value present and live life to the fullest. :)
