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.

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

2/4

After the novelty of the premise wears off, Niccol leaves his audience with a familiar scenario fueled by narrative clichés and pun-saturated dialogue.

If you can suspend all logic, science and reasoning this film is quite fun. Its plot is like swiss cheese and the acting (including from some greats) is pretty poor throughout. I don't really understand how this script was green lit, I can only imagine it went through years of tinkering that made it completely incomprehensible. BUT, it is quite a compelling watch with some decent action.

A movie that could've been a big hit were it not for the lack of a budget and more sussed-out scrpt. Won't keep it but it's right on the borderline. This movie needed more money and better plot development.

The premise eventually gets boring and so does the plotline. Everything is known from the 20th minute and everything escalates way to quickly. The acting is nothing to remember also. I enjoyed the blade runner aesthetic though.

IDC what the others say, this was an entertaining movie with a cool concept with color play of the scenes and the concept of time running out. It was a sad movie but kept you on the edge of your seat. It's unlike other movies. I thought the romance was good, the setting was fabulous. It seemed like it was a mix of two eras the 1920s and maybe the 3020s?
