In Time

Love the concept from this, it's presumably based on some sort of 1970s sci fi novella?

Oh shitty fuck, I lot of that is what The Longevity Gene is about. :(

EDIT: Well, sort of. Just without the silly clocks-on-arms and Justin Timerlake.

[Dan]

Ha ha, awwwww. Shit like that always happens, you can't let it get you down.

At least you haven't got Timberlake.

[markbilly]

Yeah and TLG is all dystopian and in space and stuff which makes it 10 times better, right? ;)

[Dan]

Spaceships are amazing, so yes.

The more that trailer goes on, the more it looks like a boring by-the-numbers action flick with a vaguely interesting macguffin. Reminds me of The Sixth Day.

[Dan]

Yeah, once he kidnaps the girl I lost interest. Hence the wording/ lack of actual praise of my original post.

[Ben]

Yeah, I noticed you only acknowledged the concept!

[Dan]

I was right! This film has a great concept with lots of interesting, dark, clever themes running through it and a fantastic sci-fi premise, and massively lets it down by being very boring and not doing anything of note.

[Ben]

Agreed.

I loved it for all the time puns there were to notice. Great idea that needed a much better script.

I remember posting my opinion of this somewhere but I'm not sure where.

Really cool concept, and one that deserved more than just 'Justin Timberlake running: the movie'. I didn't hate it, thought was a pretty decent popcorn flick, but one that could have been amazing in the right hands.
