Where's the buzz?? TOTALLY enjoyed this movie!!

Rating: 9/10 (7 December 2011)

Sometimes when a movie is first promoted, you see LOTS about it - and then when it opens, there's either tons of press (for all the right/wrong reasons), or it just fades into oblivion....
I'm one of those people that assumes a movie fades away because it deserves to be ignored - I wondered about 'In Time' when it was first promoted, but then didn't hear anything about it after it opened..... so, I kinda' started to watch it with that 'what's-wrong-with-this-movie' feeling.... then was pleasantly surprised by above average storytelling, & an interesting plot with believable characters! I'm not a JT fan (ok, except for SNL.... oh, and with Fallon too), so I wasn't expecting his portrayal to be as likable as it was....
I'm a SciFi fan from back when we read it in books (yeah, THAT far back) - and I just loved the visual touches throughout this film that defined it as a different time and place, but with familiarities that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up to realize, 'yep, that could be us in the very near future'....also - I was VERY pleased that I think I only heard one f-bomb in the whole movie - I can let my 76-yr-old Mother watch this now!!
