In Time - 6 stars out of 10

In Time - 6 stars out of 10

What starts off as a unique sci-fi concept turns into an interesting futuristic Robin Hood-type story.  The concept of "In Time" is really cool but after a while, the script seems to go out of its way to emphasize that money is the currency.  There has to come a point where the script moves in a different direction so that the film is plot-driven instead of concept-driven.  That being said, I did enjoy this film and thought that it presented the most creative concept since "Inception."  I think that Justin Timberlake surprised a lot of people in this lead role, though he was so good in "The Social Network" that this role was a piece of cake.  He wasn't great, but was certainly better than adequate.  I don't really know how to say this next thing in a not-mean way, but I've always thought that Amanda Seyfried was a little... weird-looking...  HOWEVER she is looking mighty fine in this film!  I thought it was her at first but had to check on it, simply because she didn't look weird.  The acting in this film isn't earth-shattering but works for an action sci-fi movie.  I just question whether they casted based on talent or on attracting movie-goers with eye candy.  There are better dystopian films out there but, in spite of its script, this one provides some excellent action sequences amidst an awesome concept.
