In Time is a 2011 American science fiction action film written, produced, and directed by Andrew Niccol.

Cillian Murphy, Vincent Kartheiser, Olivia Wilde, Matt Bomer, Johnny Galecki, and Alex Pettyfer also star.

Hey, it wasn’t that bad. It was definitely TV-movie quality in terms of plot and dialogue, but the basic idea was great and the aesthetic was cool, especially the cars, the clothes, and Amanda Seyfried’s look. Yeah, Justin Timberlake’s acting was distracting, and Seyfried’s wasn’t that much better. I bet if they’d got a better leading man and a top-notch director, they could have made a classic. As it is, the movie made a pretty good profit, so I’m not the only one who thought it was all right.
Movie was enjoyable. I don’t know if in the so-bad-it’s-good or simply not-terribly-bad-and-interesting sense, but at least it’s interesting. And let’s be honest. I watched the movie only to see Amanda but was kinda intrigued by the plot
I think if I’d paid $20+ for a theater viewing I’d be disappointed, but as a freebie to play in the background it was great.
Her style was great, especially in the earlier scenes, and the cinematographer did a good job. I wish they’d given her character more personality though, she’s a good actor, she could have handled it.
Also there was this scene towards the end where her character’s running a long distance across rough terrain, and they zoom back a bit and supposedly she had been running in stilleto heels… I guess it’s possible to do, but it’s not a skill her character had likely ever picked up…
Well, I guess she running with stilettos is a perk Bryce Dallas Howard inherited for the New Jurassic Park movies, haha
