Waste of a good idea and your time

Rating: 1/10 (29 July 2012)

I really love a good science fiction movie. I hate to see a good kernel of an idea (the time idea) be executed with a totally ridiculous, implausible, lame and illogical plot. Such a shame. Don't be sucked in, as I was, with good-sounding previews. It is a simple-minded ploy to push a political agenda - the rich are evil and soulless - the poor are helpless, exploited and imprisoned by "big brother".
There are fabulous screen writers in Hollywood and elsewhere. Surely there is a sci-fi lover among them who could have written a very plausible, suspenseful and satisfying screenplay starting with the "time" idea, that would thoroughly entertaining. I can't believe anyone would have spent $ on making this movie. They're lucky they recovered their investment.
This will teach me to read the reviews on IMDb before wasting my time and $.
