Leftist Propaganda

Rating: 1/10 (12 March 2012)

I was actually quite surprised to see such awful Leftist propaganda (which is all this movie really is, one long "redistribution of wealth" message) coming from Andrew M. Niccol, who also wrote two great movies, the Truman Show and Gattaca.
There was way too much missed here that could have been and the illogical of some of the situations in the movie will give any person with an IQ over 50, brain freeze.
Case in point. As the trailers and such tell you, a person gets 25 years, plus one, that one is the one they can spend, starting at age 25. So if time is just a commodity, why would the poor bother having kids? To even feed one kid in this world would cost too much to get your kid to it's first birthday. The only time work for pay is mentioned and one can do the easy math that one doesn't even make enough to sleep a whole night in the worst motel.
Another case in point. If everyone that is rich is so afraid of getting hurt, that they are easy pushovers for anyone with a gun, the poor would have taken them over long before the movie's time frame.
Lastly, the redistribution of time (wealth) is supposed to bring about this happy ending, as the two walk up to some imposing bank (see point #2 for how two people with a gun each are going to take over what is the Fort Knox of time). The point is pure silliness, as the best option for any logical human, would be to find doctors and such, that would stop the arm clocks! Then you don't have to rob time banks over and over!
So if you're a Leftist, you'll think this movie is great, everyone else, Independent and Right, will wish they could get their 109 minutes back! (pun very intended!!)
