Board 8 > In Time is a total waste of an interesting concept

(+) Yeah! (+)

Spoilers? I don't know. Maybe. We'll see how this post goes.






So they've been advertising the movie In Time on this and various related websites for the last week or so. I looked up the plot synopsis, thought it looked interesting, and went to see it.

It started off... well, kind of dumb. The exchanging time as currency and everyone staying 25 forever until they ran out of their allotted time was introduced really poorly. The plot kind of gets interesting when our hero gets his first hundred years tacked on, but the whole thing goes from a, "What would you do if your time was limited," to a thinly veiled allegory about the distribution of wealth. Total waste of a neat premise. I want my time back.

Sucks, I was kinda interested in the movie as well since I'm kinda obsessed with Time.

and if you look at the meta movie, it nailed the aspects of both time and distribution of wealth perfectly no?

There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out

I liked it better when I thought it was a movie version of TWEWY.

"I am lightning...the rain transformed."

Yeah, I could tell by the previews that it was most likely going to slide into a Communist propaganda film. Not shocking to hear that I was right!
