Country: USA
Genre: SF
Conditions of visioning: 04.10.2012, Blu-ray, Home cinema
Synopsis: In this future society people stop aging at 25 but to keep on living, time is the only currency, which makes rich people live forever, while in the ghettos the poor literaly live their life on a day-to-day basis.
Review: The original idea is fantastic and one of the best that SF can produce. It is enough to fill the first half of the movie with good ideas, dialogs and a fast pace. But then the lack of good ideas becomes obvious, the characters are under-exploited (I am thinking about the Timekeeper played by Cillian Murphy), and the ending is unsatisfactory, if not worst. Justin Timbelake is not too bad an actor, and continues his reconversion to Cinema.
Rating: 6 /10
