In Time - Where Time Is Power

*from upcoming-movies.com

Well after a long time Hollywood has come up with a new thrilling Sci fi "In time". I was getting bored and without having any choices to select a movie I had to watch "in time". But to my delight its an awesome thriller starring Justin Timberlake (who somewhat now started to act). Here is my account of one of the great movies of recent times.

In time is a brilliantly narrated Sci fi with high adrenaline car chases, action sequences and a thrilling story. The movie depicts a world never seen before in the history of cinema. A world where time is currency and being immortal is hardly a fantasy.

The sci fi movie will take you to the world where ageing stops at 25. If you have to live beyond 25 you have to buy time, an easy job for millionaire who has lots of currency.

Justin Timberlake plays the role of Will Salas, a poor guy struggling to live beyond 25. But his life takes a U turn when he met Henry Hamilton, a super rich in terms of time currency. Henry willingly gives the time currency to Salas because he saved Henry’s life in a fight. Due to some unexpected turn of events Henry decides to die the next day after meeting Salas.

The story gets a twist when Justin Timberlake, suddenly having lot of Time currency in his hands, is being hunted down by Time keepers and Intelligence agencies for the murder of Henry Hamilton. The sci fi flick moves with high speed action sequences and an interlaced love story which goes parallel and is well narrated.

Director Andrew Niccol has been successful in highlighting the growing disparity between rich and poor. It also poses questions on resource exploitation by super rich and the theory of survival of the fittest.

Acting of all the characters has been good especially Cillian Murphy, who with his unique negative persona on screen has made the character much more thrilling. But I personally feel casting could have been better. The movie is more like a Christopher Nolan flick and instead of Justin Timberlake, Leonardo Dicaprio is the obvious choice.

By the way, the movie has freshness in its concept and the way director approached the concept is delighting. It’s a must watch for all those hard core thriller junkies and a great treat for action lovers.

My ratings 3.75/5

PS- rajanikant gautam, a must watch for you dude (with Hindi translation ).
