Good idea, terrible execution

Rating: 2/10 (7 December 2011)

How can a good idea be so poorly executed? The film starts with a very interesting premise: humanity, able to provide immortality, has now only one worthy trading value, which is time. Based on this you would expect to see some radical changes in human behavior, with lots of existential issues at stake. What this film delivers in an absurd device to control the ultimate human currency, a society which is pretty much the same as nowadays and tons of ridiculous scenes which cannot be believed even if one tries really hard. Characters in this film have zero depth, the story develops to more and more absurdity and it looks as if in the middle of filming they really didn't know what to do about it. On top of it acting is bad, so... what else can go wrong?
I give it a 2 just because of the original idea, and I am completely lost by the current rating at IMDb at the time of writing this (6,7: did I watch a different movie or what?)
