In Time

[Hairspray]

Didn't see a thread for this. Just got back from the cinema, absolutely loved it! Nice bit of sci-fi thriller popcorn sort of stuff, but if you see it for nothing else, and as this is PH, the cars in it are stunning. The police all drive 1971 Dodge Challengers, the lead guy has a gorgeous polished-silver E-Type, and everyone else has black Lincoln Continentals. The fact that all the men and women are 25-ish (you'll understand if you watch it), means there is some pretty decent eye candy too. But I actually thought the plot was good too!

Anyone else been to see it? Don't ignore it just because it has Justin Timberlake in it, I almost did!

I was quite pleasantly surprised. Loved that matte black cars all over the place. Not brilliant but worth a watch on DVD I'd say

bonnie and clyde meets robin hood is my summery of it

her eyes really started to freak me out by the end. timberlake was really much better than i thought he would be. as said cars were great BUT why have them sounding like they are running on turbines when you can still here the proper engines as well. oh and the crash involving the jag was terrible it looked like it was just somebody throwing a model car it didnt fit with the movie at all

Exactly my summary.

The Jag crash was terrible.

Don't know what the problem is with Amanda Seyfried, she was only upstaged by Olivia Wilde for hottest woman in the movie.

Just watched this.

Great film, really enjoyed it. As has been said, it's B&C meets Robin Hood.

Very simple concept though, based on a common principle - time is money.

Really enjoyed the whole concept, Timberlake was great, Siegfried was very hot, and loved all the cars.

Highly recommended.

Really hoping this is good, all recent sci-fi has been terrible.

Why they didnt cut the Jag crash is beyond me,the Corrie tram crash was better done,very poor imo.

I'm glad there's been some good reports from you guys. The critics and ratings sites have panned it. 38% on RT...

Was really looking forward to it from the trailers, so might make the effort to catch it this week.

Forgot to say - completely agree about the Jag crash. Amazing how badly done that was.

All i can think is that they were going to do it another way then had to fit that in in a rush job?

With the possible exception of Real Steel, but that was borderline sci-fi.

Good to see such reviews of In Time, thought the trailer looked promising, nice to see something actually deliver on its promise.

not exactly fantastic ratings though:

Went to see this yesterday and really enjoyed it, wasn't going to bother based on the average reviews but i'm glad i went and made my own mind up.

Agree about the Jag crash, laughably bad.
