In Time movie

Post by ZandraJoi »

A 2011 Sci-Fi Action movie starring Justin Timberlake & Amanda Seyfried.
In the year 2169, people are genetically engineered to stop aging when they reach the age of 25. Then a one-year countdown begins on their arm. When it reaches Zero, the person dies. Instead of using money as currency, they use Time as their currency. Just like with society now, there exists the poor & the rich.
My husband & I watched this movie shortly after it came out & I’d watch it again, knowing I may have missed several key points.
Did you watch it? What do you think of living in a society like this?

Sounds anxiety-inducing and a bit of a revamp of Logan's Run. Not my cup of tea but glad you enjoyed it.

I was about to say...I think I've seen this one, and it was called Logan's Run!
This has been another bit of brain shrapnel from...

I saw it once when it came out. It was anxiety inducing. It made some strong points about the rich and the poor and the bad choices people make. But I feeling I was disappointed with the resolution and that the time "magic" logic that the world was built on was really fuzzy.

Thank you for reminding me of Logan's Run! I knew this movie sounded familiar. Unfortunately, many of our shows & movies are remade from older ones.

Sometimes, fortunately. I enjoy seeing different takes on a concept. Exploring an issue from a different point of view can be great or it can be an unoriginal cash grab and everything in between.
