In Time - a disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (8 November 2011)

I had quite high expectations for In Time. The story-line seemed solid, the setting was cool and the actors entertaining. The problem with this movie was the details. First of all I found the transfer of time from each other thoroughly ridiculous. Also with this being a science-fiction movie, I was expecting a little more science. Except for the time that was running across people's arms there was nothing sci-fi-like there. If anything, it was retro. The only thing I really liked about this movie was Cillian Murphy, as an actor and as the character he was playing. I have to say I was on his side for the entire movie. So, yeah, to sum it up, In Time was quite a big let down for me, especially story-wise. The overall idea was quite compelling, but the implementation poor.
