Critics Consensus

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

Excellent movie. No one can say otherwise until they genuinely are too dense to understand it and realize it has everything to do with today's issues

Another day, another movie and another dystopian future with 2011's 'In Time'. SYNOPSIS: 'In a future where people stop aging at 25, but are engineered to live only one more year, having the means to buy your way out of the situation is a shot at immortal youth. Here, Will Salas finds himself accused of murder and on the run with a hostage - a connection that becomes an important part of the way against the system.' 'In Time' is a clever and unsettling look at an alternative future which is unique in the world of sci-fi movies. The film is stylish in design and asks challenging questions. There's clearly some commentary here on the world today and it's class divides, though things are clearly taken to the extreme in this film. The plot is as enthralling as it is preposterous at times with many scenes raising further questions. Timberlake puts in a fine performance considering this was one of his first films and he carries the film well. It maybe doesn't have the credentials or gravitas to become a sci-fi classic, but there is something here which makes 'In Time' a great watch. It won't happen now, but had this universe been expanded on further there could've been something very promising here. 6/10

Saw this in the cinema and also got it on Blu-Ray. It's one of my guilty pleasures due to its unrealistic nature. Famed Cinematographer Roger Deacons shot the movie entirely on digital format for the first time. What I liked was how the movie was designed and how the props and background looked. Also, the cars constantly reminded me of the film Gattaca. Turns out that was Andrew Niccol directorial debut.

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.
