In Time	comment	A 2011 Sci-Fi Action/Adventure film by Andrew Niccol starring Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried, Cillian Murphy, Vincent Kartheiser, and Olivia Wilde.In a retro-future when the aging gene has been switched off, people must pay to stay alive; though everybody stops aging at 25, stamped on their arm is a clock showing how long they have left to live, a year, which starts ticking the instant they reach 25 years of age. To avoid overpopulation, time has become the currency and the way people pay for luxuries and necessities. The rich can live forever, while the rest try to negotiate for their immortality. A poor young man is accused of murder when he receives a fortune of time from a dead upper class man, and is forced to go on the run from an FBI-like police force known as the Timekeepers. The poor also live in fear of the Minute Men, a ruthless gang that robs people of all their time, killing them.It shares quite a few elements from "Time is Money", a short story by Lee Falk first published in Playboy in 1975. Is strongly reminiscent of both Logan's Run and The Fugitive, though it's not a remake of either. It also shares some elements with Equilibrium. Harlan Ellisonnote Â© 2005 Harlan Ellison sued to try to get it withdrawn on the basis that it was an unauthorized adaptation of his short story "Repent, Harlequin!" Said the Ticktockman, but on November 4, 2011, he ultimately agreed to a settlement similar to what he got for The Terminator (i.e. his name will be added to the credits). He ultimately dropped the suit altogether before the month was out, having seen the film.Not to be confused with 2013's About Time, which is about time travel.

In Time / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License â€“ Biology: The idea that you can commodify lifespan is pure fantasy; aging is not caused by an "aging gene," but rather through a number of factors. Damage is sustained to DNA due to repeated splitting and copying necessary for cellular division, the skin becomes thinner and wrinkled with age mainly due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation, joints wearing out simply due to use over time, and so on.

In Time / int_1d91d828	comment	Deadly Game: "Time fighting", a deadly variation on arm wrestling. It's more of a personal endeavor rather than a recognized sport, however. Since time is transferred simply by aiming one's wrist up (lose time) or down (gain it), the game consists of two people locking at the wrists to transfer time, then trying to force the other guy to drain his clock. Loser dies, though there are probably friendlier versions of the game that don't play for such high stakes since they do it on the street.

There are also no robots and no Flying Cars of any kind; all cars stay firmly on the ground on more-or-less 20th-century wheels. Possibly the rich having access to immortality has slowed the need for constant innovation.

Will's friend gets ten years and ends up drinking himself to death with one year. Henry Hamilton lampshades the inherent problem with the time allowance system: there's no place to put people who live for ever. The system just creates an ever-growing population which necessitates culling to keep resources and consumption at a reasonable level. At the other end of the issue, Raymond Leon points out that despite Leon and Sylvia's efforts, the time currency system won't be altered as it's the closest setup people have to immortality.

Instead, the lower class lives and dies as normal (or even younger) by today's standards, while the upper class collects the time they spend, giving them hundreds or even thousands of years to spend as they please. This way, only a select few get true immortality.

Fortis has a very good reason to not just go around shooting people. Will also counts. He gives Raymond 4 hours to leave the ghetto safely, despite barely having ten himself. And this is after Raymond just pointed a gun at his head.

On the political level, however, it is made clear that the system has been engineered for these kinds of mistakes to occur. The government is murdering their citizens on a genocidal level, while building in an element of randomization as an excuse to pretend that it's the victim's own fault.

In Time / int_7286e96d	type	Idiot Ball
In Time / int_7286e96d	comment	Idiot Ball: Most of the cast, at one point or other. Several characters in particular show a suicidal disregard for their time allowance. Will's mother knows she'll be running a very tight schedule after repaying her loan, but still gives Will 30 minutes just so he can "enjoy his lunch". Even had the bus fares not doubled, she was leaving herself just 30 minutes of leeway. Will himself keeps coming into large quantities of time, then giving it away and leaving himself only a few hours, instead of, say, a year. Especially ridiculous at the end, when he has a million years and gives all but about half an hour away, predictably leaving him seconds from death at the climax. Raymond, being a Timekeeper, habitually lets his clock run low so as to avoid being a target for thieves. However, he puts off a top-up with only 45 minutes of time left, just so that he can chase after Will, even though he's in his car and could refill mid-chase. Like Will's mother, his complete lack of foresight/planning ends up killing him. Aside from his team of incredibly ineffectual bodyguards, Phillipe Weis has very little security protecting his fortune, though this is possibly due to complacency from living in a Utopian timezone. Less forgivable are his banks and lending shops, who leave the vault open during business hours, apparently have no security guards, and have nothing in place to stop a simple ram-raid, even in the rougher areas.

It is also clearly established that the lack of time is artificial. Everyone could live forever, but the government chose to murder poor people in the interest of avoiding overpopulation, and to keep the rich families rich.

In Time / int_e567510d	comment	Determinator: Leon is dead-set on catching Will, as evidenced by him being the only officer willing to jump out a second-story window to continue the chase. It also serves as one of several hints that Leon, unlike his partners, is more familiar with the ghetto than he likes to let on.

In Time / int_ec0ce986	comment	Spotting the Thread: Will stands out in New Greenwich because he has no bodyguards, runs instead of walking, and eats fast. This makes it pretty easy for the Timekeepers to track him down. Will is able to peg Leon as a former resident of the ghetto in much the same way, since he will take risks his colleagues won't and can keep a running pace with Will.

In Time / int_f178203a	comment	Inspector Javert/Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist: Timekeeper Raymond Leon straddles the line between the two. At first, he just seems to be doing his job, making him the latter. As the movie presses on, however, there are hints that Leon isn't doing this just because he feels it's the right thing to do. The final revelation that he's from the ghetto and is making sure that people from there stay there actively makes him Javert.

In Time / int_fd76df83	type	Artistic License â€“ Economics
In Time / int_fd76df83	comment	Artistic License â€“ Economics: Even as a parable about the Idle Rich being All Take and No Give, the elites of this society seem more concerned with preventing overpopulation than maintaining a working economy; they've hiked the prices of goods and lowered wages so much that entire communities have less lifespan to their name than hours in the day - go to work every day or die. Added to that, there is the problem that they are using as currency something with a large intrinsic value of its own: time. The whole point of money is that it's a medium of exchange; ideally, it should have no value of its own.
