So Much Potential, Failed To Deliver.

Rating: 6/10 (26 October 2011)

The movie was OK, nothing special. So much potential with the concept of immortality and time being the means of currency, teasing us how we all waste so much precious time. It simply did not venture too much into effects of class in the human society in which the trailers hype it to be. The weak chemistry and lacking character development between Amanda Seyfried and JT didn't really help push the movie forward either and at time the story progression was lacking of subsistence.
It was disappointing to see Niccol's ideas reduced down and portrayed in a futuristic "Robin Hood", the Poor tries to steal from the rich, the rich tries to stop the poor from being rich, poor give back to the poor, with a few gunfights, car chase and what seems to be a arm wrestling match in which the winner wins more time.
Another 'N Sync member showcasing a not so good acting performance (He was very good in The Social Network, I have to say), maybe "In Time" to give "JC" Chasez a crack at acting. lol :)
