Excellent Concept - Average Cast, WORTH WATCHING

Rating: 9/10 (1 November 2011)

Every once in a while you come across with a movie/TV series where you feel that the story was weak the concept was stolen the idea was inspired by some other movie etc etc.... As I entered in the theater i was already 5mins late so I missed the opening however with in couple of minutes the movie got my full attention when I started to absorb the concept and the Laws of that concept. It struck me with in next 20 minutes that the concept is very original and I have not seen it in any other movie (and I've seen lots of movies).
CONCEPT: (Spoiler!!!) 1- Sometime in future; where Scientists have engineered Human body to 1) never to age & 2) never to die. However its has explained in the movie that the world is designed and meant by nature for people to come and go to keep the balance. hence to keep the world stable; the engineered humans have to be Time Bounded after age of 25 or so, where a DNA clock will tell how much time you have to live! and as you work, you will earn more time etc; and the cycle goes on!
2- Also what makes the concept more interesting is the fact that there is NO currency notes in this time and all the commodities are subject to TIME exchange between people & Entrepreneur. Stock Market(s) are running over the count of TIME available in the different zones. Also time can be exchanged between two humans with touch and twist of arms. which makes crime rate high as people kill each other even for few minutes of life time.
3- The world is divided into Zones where the upper zones' population are the RICHEST people having TIME up-to centuries on them. where the lower class people don't even have a week at given point.
STORY-LINE: The movie story is as follows (spoiler - (but not telling the climax)
Will Salas (Justin Tiberlake) is a working a$$ hard labor living in lower zone, fighting to LIVE forever on a daily basis with DNA clock having time not more than 1-2 days!!. He come across with this man Henry Hamilton ( played by Matt Bomer) who has been 25 years old for so long that he just don't want to live anymore!! before suicide he give a century to Will as gift and he commits suicide!
making story short! Will travels to higher zones by exchange years as fees given to him by henry as gift. Will is determined to take revenge from the upper classes' Playing gods who are controlling world and market for their own benefits and to live immortal life forever. Sylvia (Amanda Seyfried) daughter of Philippe Weiss (Vincent Katheiser from Angel (tv series)) who is very powerful person and one of the richest and pioneer of Time system. she subsequently starts supporting Will's agenda to collapse this system. Her father controls TIME banks and have the first bar in safe having TIME of million which they want to steal and distribute to destroy/collapse the system.
However; the other side of movie is just amazing and add more thrill when TIME Inspector Raymond Leon (played by Cillian Murphy) who is so determine to justify his 50 years of service as protector of this system; chases Will & Sylvia to stop them and to arrest them at any cost! this chase has been thrilling thru out the movie! Raymond is almost of 100 years and knows all the in-s and out-s of zones and the TIME issues as well as the history of WILL and his Dead Father! which makes this chase more personal for both (Will and Raymond). Raymond keeps eye on the TIME allotments to all the zones in the country and any suspicious transfer of time between zones is highly unusual and rare.
One of the Thugs is played by Eric Balfour who is a gangster and a time stealer in the poor zone and also wants to catch Will as he rescued Henry that night who gave Will 100years as gift before he died.
---------------------------------------------------
The over all CONCEPT of the MOVIE is JUST Amazing!!!!!! I enjoyed this movie so much! and the last one I remember enjoying this way, was Inception!. The movie is WORTH watching!
However you may or may not agree with me... I believe the Average star cast may have mellow the affect on the movie to become block buster of the year! i believe Angelina Jolie and Leonardo Dcaprio would be an excellent choices for this movie! or perhaps Tom Cruise (as we know he had been doing futuristic crime movies). butt the current star cast is also amazing and Justin Timberlake has acted just amazing!
overall I will give this movie 9/10 and perhaps watch it again!!!
