You stop aging at 25, but there's a catch: you're genetically-engineered to live only one more year, unless you can buy your way out of it. The rich "earn" decades at a time (remaining at age 25), becoming essentially immortal, while the rest beg, borrow or steal enough hours to make it through the day.

Living minute to minute, the duo's love becomes a powerful tool in their war against the system.
Leave your thoughts about In Time.
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA winning and thought-provoking sci-fi thriller set in the future that taps into some of the most troubling inequities and problems of our era, the lack of time. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleComing now, today, In Time is not just satisfying. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's important, because that would overstate it, but it certainly feels like part of the national conversation. It arrives in theaters at a time when people are camped out in New York saying the same things as the people in the movie. It's weird the way films often anticipate the near future. |
| Mania.comRob VauxIt holds too many strong notions executed too well to let its shortcomings derail it. |
| Filmcritic.comBill GibronIt doesn't do anything for mind, body, or spirit |
| E! OnlinePeter ParasThe action moves, and if you don't think too hard on the premise, In Time is a fun ride. Justin and Amanda bring the sexy back to sci-fi! |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfIt's such a colorless creation, it's almost impossible to believe Niccol botched his weird idea so quickly, turning something with serious potential for lively sci-fi escapism into a miserable, static motion picture. |
| SlateDana StevensNiccol's bizarrely stilted sci-fi thriller In Time, a movie so consistently flat-footed, with pauses between lines of dialogue so vast, that you begin to wonder if the whole thing might be a psychological experiment of some kind...Or has he just made a really dull movie? |
| Giant Freakin RobotJoshua TylerIn Time starts out with one of the best sci-fi premises in recent memory, and then does nothing with it. |
| Sacramento News & ReviewJim Lane... it works pretty well if you don't look too closely ... |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirSo, yeah - even if In Time descends from its gripping and thought-provoking premise into a mediocre chase thriller before it's over, it's still pretty damn satisfying to watch in the current climate. |
