Waste of Time

Rating: Null/10 (1 November 2011)

Starts out by setting some of the premises of this future, and the early portion is OK. However, the inception and rationale of the time tracking technology is never fully explained, other than a brief expository about why (poor) people must be continually timed-out.
Unfortunately, the movie quickly degenerates into a Hollywood-left stereotype: all rich people are inherently evil, capitalism is inherently evil, the only purpose of law enforcement is to serve the needs of the rich, and all poor people are virtuous. Puh-leeze, enough of this BS already. Would this film would even exist in the Communist/Marxist utopia it espouses? Only as state-sponsored propaganda.
I did like the cars, even though they make no sense in the real world. The cinematography is well done. Everything else - plot, acting, social commentary - are terrible or worse.
I wanted to like this film, the premise seemed interesting, but afterward I am only... disappointed.
