A story of a world where people stop aging at 25 years and the rest of the days have to be bought, ‘In Time’ latest Hollywod sci-fi movie is now being screened at Savoy cinema, Colombo.
Written and directed by Andrew Niccol, the movie stars Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried, Vincent Kartheiser, Alex Pettyfer, Olivia Wilde and Cillian Murphy.
In a future where people stop aging at 25, but are engineered to live only one more year, having the means to buy your way out of the situation is a shot at immortal youth. Here, Will Salas finds himself accused of murder and on the run with a hostage - a connection that becomes an important part of the way against the system.
All people live until 25 at which time they stop aging and the clock starts. They are given one year and are free to earn, gamble or spend their time ... heck, some even gamble. When your clock hits Zero, you drop dead immediately. So, the working class is isolated in time zones, running from place to place and taking extra shifts at the plant to pay the rent. The rich live in Connecticut and try to find ways to leisurely spend their days that will never end.
Justin Timberlake plays Will Salas, one of the poor ones. In a scene that will have you scratching your head, Olivia Wilde plays his mom (remember, you stop aging at 25). Will has a chance meeting with Henry Hamilton (Matt Bomer) who has lived more than 100 years and still has more than a century left. After a deep, philosophical conversation, Will ends up with Henry’s time and is a suspect in his murder.
Will runs off to Connecticut and is pursued by the Timekeeper Police led by Cillian Murphy.
Will ends up in the lavish home of Philippe Weiss (Vincent Katheiser from Mad Men) and falls for his daughter Sylvia (Amanda Seyfried). They end up on the lam and turn into the ultimate Time Bandits ... Robin Hood who steals time from the rich and distributes to the poor. |
