In Time

Fun little film. Nothing too deep, nothing too groundbreaking. The whole “time is money” thing worked fairly well, and the whole movie was a fairly straightforward allegory for corporate greed. It’s also a not bad chase money. And while the ending was predictable, it was fun predictable.

For the most part I liked it. The one thing that I really didn’t like was Amanda Seyfried’s shoes.

Seriously. The shoes. Because I don’t care how much you practice running (and her character wouldn’t have practiced much before she met Justin Timberlake’s character) no one runs that fast in 5 inch spike heeled platforms.

I know Amanda is short and she needs high shoes just to be in frame with Justin, but couldn’t they have found a nice pair of combat boots for her? Just for believability’s sake.

(Of course, making a movie about people who turn 25 and then only have a year to live unless they earn more time, chances are believability wasn’t high on the list).

Still, it was a good bit of fun and all four of the women with me assured me that Justin looks cute with his shirt off. So if you like a good gritty near-future sci-fi action movie, I’d give this one a try.

Just ignore the shoes.
