No really this is a movie review. In Time starring Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried, and Cillian Murphy. The movie starts out by giving us the barest of backstory information. In the future humans have been genetically altered to stop aging at 25 years afterward you get one year to live unless of course you get more Time. Time has become the currency you use to buy things and like in our own world the economy caters to the rich and the poor... well not so much. The story starts in the morning with one Will Salas, played by Justin Timberlake waking. Its his mom's 50th birthday she naturally doesnt look a day over 25, played by Olivia Wilde who played 13 in the TV show House. Joining the show is Matt Bower who played Neal Chaffrey on TV's White Collar as Will's "lucky break", Herman is 105 and has over a century on his clock the trick is that he wants to die. He gives Will all his Time. This starts Mr. Salas on a journey to Grenwich, land of the rich and powerful, and theortically immortal. While there he meets the beautiful daughter of a powerful buissness mogul and kidnaps her to escape the Timekeepers, those who pass as law enforcment in the new age. Together, after Sylvia played by Amanda Seyfriend (who hails from Allentown PA as it so happens) learns what it means to be poor, they star on a quest to change the system and make sure no one dies before their time. "For a few to be immortal many must die." "No one should be immortal if even one person has to die." "Theres a lot you can do in a day." All in all a good movie I give it an 8 outta ten.
