Justin Timberlake’s New Sci-fi Film “In Time”
Have you imagined that human beings will stay young forever in the future? Of course, this couldn’t happen in the reality, but in the movie, everything is possible, sci-fi film “In time” presents us a future that everyone will not grow up until they reach 25-years-old.
In a future where time is literally money and aging stops at 25, the only way to stay alive is to earn, steal, or inherit more time. You can hand over your time with a sort of secret handshake, which is a little too easy and feels like a cheat. Nearly every twist and turn of the plot seems designed to remind of that most fundamental truth — every moment alive puts you one step closer to death. In this new age it's called "timing out," a very neat and tidy process — too neat and tidy. So the tension started by all that ticking too quickly drains away.
Will Salas (Justin Timberlake) lives minute-to-minute, until a windfall of time gives him access to the world of the wealthy, where he teams up with a beautiful young heiress Sylvia Weis（Amanda Seyfried）to destroy the corrupt system. But Will Salas is falsely accused of murder, he must figure out a way to bring down a system where time is money - literally - enabling the wealthy to live forever while the poor, like Will, have to beg, borrow, and steal enough minutes to make it through another day, seems like this time Timberlake has different performance, compared his other movie “Friends with Benefits”, in “In Time”, he is more like a hero, you know, kick bad guys, save the world or something, if you would like to watch it on your portable devices, you can do that with video converter reviews, it’s more convenient if you want to share this film with other people.
Cillian Murphy plays a "time charger", in short, a law-executor in that community. He and Penny Collins works together to hunt down Will. And the 31-year-old Vincent Kartheiser who is famous for "Mad Men" plays Amanda Seyfried’s father, but you are supposed to know that the father he plays is only 24, well, no one will be older than 25 if they have money to buy time. The age gap between the father and daughter is not great, and Vincent is a baby face, so perhaps directors chose these actors aims to let us feel time confusion. Johnny Galecki（The Big Bang Theory）plays Will's best friend. And there are a bunch of young actors including Alex Pettyfer and Matt Bomer.
"In Time" was supposed to turn Timberlake into a superhero, though given the way he manages a fairly massive pop career with an increasingly impressive acting portfolio ("Social Network" most recently), that may not be necessary. He brings an interesting sensibility to his characters, Will included, that suggest a complex interior that "In Time" never quite reveals. The same goes for Seyfried ("Mamma Mia!" "Red Riding Hood"), who can do a lot more than use those big eyes and sleek lines.
Maybe you think the plot is too boring, but think about it, we don’t have many chances that can enjoy so many young actors’ performance at same time, after all, they are all 25 or more younger, so how about upload it to your iPad or other iDevices with mac video converter to watch it whenever you want.
