Robin Hood: Men in Time

Rating: 3/10 (28 January 2012)

Wow. For being 100s (or more) of years in the future, it sure looks like barely anything has changed 'In Time' (3/10 Stars.) Okay, the biggest difference is now people are "engineered" to stop aging at 25 years old (ALTHOUGH, HALF THE CAST LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE IN THEIR 30s) and have to "earn" their years following that by either A: Be Wealthy in Years or B: Working minimal jobs for eternity. It's a tad bit confusing at first, but after you get the somewhat original concept of currency now being "time" everything else is either bland, boring or both. Good-hearted, and expert sprinter, Will (Justin Timberlake) suddenly gains a hundred years when he's told the system is only in place to help the rich, and when his mother quickly "runs out of time" i.e. dies, he's hell-bent on bringing down the system. But, then he's hell-bent on a new girl. But, then he's hell-bent on helping the less-fortunate. But, then he's hell-bent on...you get the picture that this picture is all over the place. Suffice to say, it's a boring future with a plot that's been around for centuries. It's a Twilight Zone episode that's stretched four times too long and contains far too many (UN-FUNNY) puns on the "time" word. For example, my ex of many years ago probably got sick of the pun on his name. Let's just say it went something like: J__in Time. (That was just to protect the innocent.)
