A great original concept with a poor execution

Rating: 6/10 (22 September 2014)

The story's original concept about time being just about everything is a great original idea. It develops very nicely showing all the details of the consequences of such an idea. The details are also incorporated quite seamlessly into the story; it makes quite difficult to follow on this movie if you watch it from half way or later. Yet the execution in the acting parts is not the satisfactory. For me honestly, the lead role should be given to anyone other than Justin Timberlake. He acts just below okay for this movie. Not that it's a bad acting, but with a great concept like this, it should be played by someone else with a better reputation for a sci-fi. Amanda Seyfried also didn't give a good performance here. Her use of facial expression is dominantly flat. Cillian Murphy and Olivia Wilde, on the other hand, id a very nice acting job to make this movie feel alive.
