4:18 AM - Justin Timberlake in New Sci-fi Film In Time
Have you imagined that human beings will stay young forever in
the future? Of course, this couldn't happen in the reality, but in
the movie, everything is possible, sci-fi film "In time" presents
us a future that everyone will not grow up until they reach
25-years-old.
In a future where time is literally money and aging stops at
25, the only way to stay alive is to earn, steal, or inherit more
time. You can hand over your time with a sort of secret handshake,
which is a little too easy and feels like a cheat. Nearly every
twist and turn of the plot seems designed to remind of that most
fundamental truth - every moment alive puts you one step closer to
death. In this new age it's called "timing out," a very neat and
tidy process - too neat and tidy. So the tension started by all
that ticking too quickly drains away.
Will Salas (Justin Timberlake) lives minute-to-minute, until
a windfall of time gives him access to the world of the wealthy,
where he teams up with a beautiful young heiress Sylvia
Weisï¼Amanda Seyfriedï¼to
destroy the corrupt system. But Will Salas is falsely accused of
murder, he must figure out a way to bring down a system where time
is money - literally - enabling the wealthy to live forever while
the poor, like Will, have to beg, borrow, and steal enough minutes
to make it through another day, seems like this time Timberlake has
different performance, compared his other movie "Friends with
Benefits", in "In Time", he is more like a hero, you know, kick bad
guys, save the world or something, if you would like to watch it on
your portable devices, you can do that with
video converter
reviews, it's more convenient if you want to share this film
with other people.
Cillian Murphy plays a "time charger", in short, a
law-executor in that community. He and Penny Collins works together
to hunt down Will. And the 31-year-old Vincent Kartheiser who is
famous for "Mad Men" plays Amanda Seyfried's father, but you are
supposed to know that the father he plays is only 24, well, no one
will be older than 25 if they have money to buy time. The age gap
between the father and daughter is not great, and Vincent is a baby
face, so perhaps directors chose these actors aims to let us feel
time confusion. Johnny Galeckiï¼The Big Bang
Theoryï¼plays Will's best friend. And there are a
bunch of young actors including Alex Pettyfer and Matt Bomer.
"In Time" was supposed to turn Timberlake into a superhero,
though given the way he manages a fairly massive pop career with an
increasingly impressive acting portfolio ("Social Network" most
recently), that may not be necessary. He brings an interesting
sensibility to his characters, Will included, that suggest a
complex interior that "In Time" never quite reveals. The same goes
for Seyfried ("Mamma Mia!" "Red Riding Hood"), who can do a lot
more than use those big eyes and sleek lines.
Maybe you think the plot is too boring, but think about it,
we don't have many chances that can enjoy so many young actors'
performance at same time, after all, they are all 25 or more
younger, so how about upload it to your iPad or other iDevices with
mac
video converter to watch it whenever you want.
