Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Best movie ever!

Philippa

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

In my opinion this movie it is very nice, I am really like the context and the action of the movie.Also I think that this showed as another reality of the life that a lot of people don't have to many possibilities to improve and they just work for the day.I recommend a lot this movie.

Now hold on. This is supposed to be sci-fi, but instead of futuristic computer generated images what you get is cars, clothes and buildings made no later than the 1970´s or the early 1980´s at latest. The film takes place in 23rd century so what do we see here? In all likelihood this is what the writer-director Andrew Niccol had in mind. While taking place in the future, the entire film is made as if it was made way back in the past. Shot digitally it doesn´t look it. Slightly grainy look and reddish-brown, sometimes bluish coloration is just as if the whole thing had been shot in the early or mid seventies 16 or 35 mm film now aged and discolored. Same goes for editing, camera angles, the chase scenes, acting style and so on as well. The clothes, furniture and even the cups the characters drink from are from the sixties. Significantly there are no computers, no electronic devices hand-held or otherwise and no electronic displays of any kind in the film. The exceptions are the silly fluorescent remaining lifetime displays everyone has on their arms. The cars are supposedly souped-up with electrical engines but they sound more like the electrical toy cars of the sixties. Stylistically, if this was a film from the early seventies by say Kubrick of the Clockwork Orange period or Michael Crichton of the Andromeda Strain period, the only unusual aspect would be the novel basic idea of using remaining lifetime used as currency instead of money. In 2011 terms the plot may be simplistic at times but in 1971 the whole thing would have been really far out, man, cutting edge sci-fi. Obvious homage is being paid to Arthur Penn´s Bonnie and Clyde, the major film of the period about people on borrowed time. I thoroughly enjoyed my two-way time trip and the core matter of the plot, thought-provoking, utterly brutal economics of time running out, more deadly than money. A good reminder of one´s mortality, too, and that is more than most films have to offer. A satisfying film for a long-time movie freak but I do understand that it would be baffling for the uninitiated who see the dots but do not register the connections.

This film is the most perfect rendition of the world today, it should really be marked up as horror movie rather than a sci-fi.The only difference being this movie ends well, when in reality our world is well away from that dream scenario.When you watch this, replace time with money. Apply it to your existence on this planet, which "time zone" / "wealth bracket" you think you are in. Re-evaluate what you think is important in life. Hate the elites and help those in more need than yourself.This could be one of the most important films you ever watch in your life, if you have any morals of course.:)

In a future dystopia where people are genetically manipulated to not get older than 25, the currency is units of time, where literally "time is money". From the age of 25 people have to work to gain more lifetime or risk their time coming to an end, that is, dying. This means that the rich can live virtually eternally while the poor have to do whatever they can to earn just a few more hours of life.The concept is interesting but poorly explored, because the film focuses more on action than on the philosophical and socio-cultural implications of the system, and of course, there are some flaws in the plot: why are there no mobile phones? How does someone who spends most of the day working in a factory his so proficient at martial arts? Being the currency a digital watch embedded in the arm, why is there no crypto-mechanism that prevents people from being so easily stolen from their time? And a few more things that only seen because it's hard to put it in words. Interesting concept barely delivered but good action entertainment with Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried and Cillian Murphy.
