Provided hours of thinking after watching, Great movie.

Rating: 9/10 (19 July 2012)

***Partial spoiler alert!***
Well it seems this movie got a lot more negative then I would have anticipated. It shows rich people (having goggles of time) and the poor people who scrape every second to make ends meet and face possible death daily. Getting sick to them could very well be a death sentence and that goes for injuring oneself as well. I believe this currency and economy are meant to equate back to real world politics and movie enthusiast side with their personal political alliances instead of I believe giving this movie an objective and unbiased review. So I will try and give an opposite view of the gloom and doom reviews.
*** Rest of this review is spoilers***
Basically this movie turns the metaphor time is money into something everybody can understand. In this world it shows plainly, what greed can setup and cause.
I found the characters not being overly emotional good. For me this made the movie more real as it goes with how you would feel if you were never going to die and took no risks. Also if you were at risk for death everyday, your emotions would harden up and you wouldn't emote because you would bring undue attention to yourself. This is a culture at least 125 years into the future. I don't expect emotions from Japanese actors.
I believe enough was explained in the amount of time the movie took. It is lacking in technology explained, back story, more fleshed out actors, etc. All I can say was this movie was long enough as it is, you really want it longer? Plus all the things they didn't tell you aren't "Plot holes". Sure there are holes but you're suppose to fill them with your own imagination, just as you read a book, I found the movie thought provoking for this very reason.
The script wasn't perfect but the concept is excellent and the story decent. Main plot being a woman and man team up to bring down a immoral system to make way for a new world system, which the rich find ultimately futile. Subplots like the time cop, where he knew what he was doing was wrong on some level but he had to keep doing it. If he were to stop people would stop working and society would fall apart, many people would die. As is likely to happen at the end of the movie. They didn't claim everything was happy go luck for the next generation or two, they just showed the "redistribution of wealth occurring", which was what the whole steal from the bank premise was about anyways, granted they could have used a more thought out literary device.
Yes there are some real plot holes, mostly surrounding the technology and the strange and unlikely ways it is implemented. Like rich people not shown using any communication devices, however this can be counter by saying it was "outlawed" for some unknown philosophical reason. Having them would cause the ghetto to uprise maybe. Maybe social communication was outlawed due to its disruption of the order, who knows?
The point is it's the future you should have suspended your critical thinking about technology, sure its nice when the technology seems possible and likely to happen, but that doesn't mean that's the way it should have been.
I will be watching this movie again and would recommend it to everyone I know.
