Just saw In Time
I just saw the new sci-fi Justin Timberlake movie, In Time which did not suck like the reviews said it would. Not saying that it was Tron level good movie. In fact, I thought that they should have actually worked better on their special effects. In a world were genetic engineering has taken the world by storm, we have no flying cars? Also, Johnny Galecki aka Leonard from The Big Bang Theory makes his big screen debut, yet we are more impressed that Olivia Wilde plays Timberlake's mom? Come on, as a sci-fi movie, it should be promoting Galecki who's been making a guest appearance at Comic Con for years. That's where the fans are for sci-fi.
The film itself seems Gattaca wannabe in the era of Occupy Wall Street with a touch of Bonnie and Clyde. Another thing I didn't get for a movie that carry everyone stop aging at 25, why were there so many people over 25 in it. Timberlake's 30, Galecki is 36,Olivia is 27, Bomer is 34, etc... So advance technology, yet all the fashion is a throwback to the past. Although it does have better chase scenes than Gattaca, although for a movie billed for partial nudity there really wasn't that much nudity at all. Timberlake's acting is decent, he still needs to work on his crying. But he plays the white ghetto boy of the TI and Timberband age quite well, as well as a few subtle hints to the mama's boy of *Nsync age. We also get the woman's hater from his 'What goes around age.'Timberlake's mother complex shines through quite clear.
Overall, I would say about 2.5-3 out of five. I probably could have enjoy this movie on the small screen the same way I could on the large. Not sure I would want to see it again.
