Retro SciFi Film of the Week…

In Time (2011)

This one is definitely in my top-ten list of best science fiction films ever made.

When I sat down to watch this, I thought it was going to be some cheap, exploitive film to take advantage of Justin Timberlake’s fame, but it turns out that he can actually act. And he’s a very good actor, world class.

The premise of the film is that time, instead of money, is the currency. Everyone is genetically engineered to stop aging at 25 years old, but then their built-in clock starts ticking and if they don’t refill it, then they die. People who acquire a lot of time can live forever in their 25-year-old body.

Highly recommended. (The film, not the economic system :)
