"It may not be the best movie, but you must admit that the concept of time as life is very clever. The same rules apply, the more time on your life, the more wealthy you are, so old age doesn't exist. It was cool 😎 to see Justin in a sci-fi movie instead of a traditional drama. There are a lot of recognizable actors, who give a fair performance."
"Good plot, and makes you wonder about our future as well the time that you spend. Hoping too that the elites don't come up with something like the time system in the movie to control the human race. "

"I think this is a commentary on classism and capitalism. Time is what people have a lot more of when they are in higher income brackets and/or with generational wealth. Time for vacations, time to rest, luxury time, and even time on the earth with mortality and life expectancy when you have access to high quality medical care when you are wealthy. Life expectancy is undercut when you work in dangerous conditions in factories and/or around environmentally hazardous materials with little safety regulations, and when working multiple jobs in poverty. "
"The thing about me is that I’m willing to let a lot slide about a movie’s characters or plot if they can wrap it around a high concept premise; arguably more than I should. I can’t say this is a great movie, but I’ll definitely call it a fun movie with a refreshingly original premise (you could say it’s similar to Gattaca, but they change it up enough to stand out), some exciting action set pieces, and using the time-based economy metaphor pretty well."
