surprising

Rating: 8/10 (15 December 2012)

I don't believe this film earned as much credit as it should have done. The 6.6 rating 'In Time' received definitely does not depict the unique ideas and innovative aspects that this film portrays. When I first heard of this film I was put off by it's rating and reviews, but after sitting down and watching it, I think it is one of the best films I have seen in a while. Andrew Niccol's futuristic view of life and the comparison between living in the ghetto and the city emphasises the severity and the nature of each individual as a categorised human being. I was skeptical at first about Justin Timberlake and his presence in the film but surprisingly his professional performance intrigued me to keep watching and write this review. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and I highly recommend it to any agnostics who don't know the rating is misleading. Happy Filming!
