I really enjoyed
"In Time", it says a lot about the class system in society today, the have's and have not's.

In this future everyone is genetically modified, and you have a clock built into your arm, a clock that counts down at the age of 25.
It's chilling to think that this could be a future for mankind, all the problems of oil, food, transportation, all the problems we have today... gone. But there's still the class problem. Those with wealth still control those without. But this time it's not about money, it's about how much time you have to live.
At the age of 25 everyone's "clock" begins to count down, you stay eternally youthful at 25, but you only have one year left to live.
Out of that one year, you have to pay rent, buy food, and live.
But the system is built to reduce that time as much as possible, to reduce that time from the people who dont have much to begin with.
You work for extra time, goal posts are moved, prices increased and everything is tightly policed and controlled from the top, by the Über
rich.
Then along come two people who see things very differently, they see the ties that band and want to break them for everybody.
If you ignore all the implications and similarities you probably will still enjoy this film on face value, but once you see a little deeper into it, you'll no doubt get even more from it.
8/10 for me
