Did not add up

Rating: 1/10 (4 May 2014)

The idea for the movie was interesting. That's why I watched it. However, there were plenty of things wrong with this science/economic fiction film. The biggest flaw is that there would be no possible way for anyone to get as rich as those guys were if this was real. Based on the 4 minute cost of a coffee that would be $2 in real life, it would cost $30 an hour 24 hours a day or $262800 a year just to stay alive. That is without food, rent, or anything else. People are only given one year to "spend" after they turn 25. I can't see anything besides food, medicine, and other non elastic goods being worth any significant amount of time. That means these people stole $262.8 billion dollars and just walked out like it was nothing. There is no way for that much time to exist unless the bankers at some point went in with guns and killed people for time. Who would give these people a loan at 30% if they have no capital to pay it back with. Unlike wealth in real life which is what money represents, there is no way to create time. This movie makes no sense.
