In a future where time is money and the wealthy can live forever, Will Salas (Justin Timberlake) is a poor man who rarely has more than a day's worth of life on his time clock. When he saves Henry Hamilton (Matt Bomer) from time thieves, Will receives the gift of a century. However, such a large transaction attracts the attention of the authorities, and when Will is falsely accused of murder, he must go on the run, taking the daughter (Amanda Seyfried) of an incredibly wealthy man with him.

Critics Consensus

In Time's intriguing premise and appealing cast are easily overpowered by the blunt, heavy-handed storytelling.

The film's central metaphor is so sublimely obvious it feels like it's been stolen from a forgotten Star Trek script.

If you're just after popcorn thrills, then In Time is not a complete waste of time, but future generations will not remember it.

In Time is so crammed with provocative ideas it begins to feel over-crowded.

Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried lurch from car chases to shoot-outs, to a bloodless romantic interlude, while the script runs out of ideas around them, and eventually settles for a lazy Bonnie and Clyde-inspired final act.

There is Hollywood-style action, entertainment, the beauty of Amanda Seyfried as the rebellious daughter of the millionaire villain... and the charisma of Justin Timberlake. Beyond that, not much more. [Full review in Spanish]

Every Movie Has a Lesson

The high concept science-fiction played out in "In Time" is as uniquely original, stylish, challenging, and enthralling as it is preposterous.

It was a good movie, people are dying as time passes, it's a good subject and a quality movie.

The idea, but only the idea, was a good one. The film, the writing, is such utter nonsense, and that in the highest degree, with major flaws, without end. I knew there was a reason why I never watched it back then. Unbelievable garbage.

Excellent concept, but the delivery was somewhat poorly. Still, it's a good watch

Die Grundidee ist spannend, die Umsetzung ist mangelhaft. Großes Manko ist vor allem, dass sich der Protagonist Will sehr unrealistisch verhält. Er scheint mit allen Gepflogenheiten der High Society bestens vertraut, obwohl er aus der Unterschicht kommt.

Loved this film, shame there's no sequels. Loved the idea we pay with time

Overall, an interesting concept. However, much of the acting didn’t stick for me. It felt unnatural, cliche, forced, and a bit cringy at times. There was a lot of dialogue dumping as well. For example, “It’s not like we have a million.” “You know what, we don’t.” This was their way of saying they were going to get a million (in time), but it felt unnatural. The actors, themselves, aren’t bad. Take Cillian Murphy, for example. He recently played Oppenheimer and won an Oscar, as many know. But, sometimes, a great actor suffers from a bad script. I believe this is one of those times.
