Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried lurch from car chases to shoot-outs, to a bloodless romantic interlude, while the script runs out of ideas around them, and eventually settles for a lazy Bonnie and Clyde-inspired final act.

| Oct 27, 2023

There is Hollywood-style action, entertainment, the beauty of Amanda Seyfried as the rebellious daughter of the millionaire villain... and the charisma of Justin Timberlake. Beyond that, not much more. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 26, 2023

The high concept science-fiction played out in "In Time" is as uniquely original, stylish, challenging, and enthralling as it is preposterous.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 4, 2023

After the novelty of the premise wears off, Niccol leaves his audience with a familiar scenario fueled by narrative clichés and pun-saturated dialogue.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 7, 2023

The acting is solid, if not spectacular... with a little more care and attention, In Time could have been one for the ages.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 7, 2021

To quote Cameron Crowe's depiction of Lester Bangs, In Time is a "think piece". It's just any thought process will be interrupted by some shoddy dialogue, appalling acting and muddling of tone.

The suspenseful adventure that the film prioritizes offers solid entertainment and heightened immediacy.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 30, 2020

There's nothing more precious than time. For that reason alone, I'll encourage you not to waste yours this weekend and avoid In Time.

| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 12, 2020

Overall this film isn't heavy sci fi but it is a pretty fun ride and good sci fi film with some good use of themes and concepts that are resonating with current goings on in the world.

| Original Score: B | Jan 11, 2020

All in all, In Time lacked time to get the key ingredients - as well as practically everything else that could have made it great.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 11, 2019

The film's central metaphor is so sublimely obvious it feels like it's been stolen from a forgotten Star Trek script.

In Time is worth seeing and it is clearly made with passion, but it doesn't have the underlying vitality that makes the best science fiction immortal.

| Original Score: B | Feb 8, 2019

In Time is stylistically entertaining, but the story could have been a lot more developed.

| Jan 28, 2019

Slipping on an expensive suit, Timberlake's likeable lead fits in nicely. He has good chemistry with Seyfried's wide-eyed sidekick... The action is solid too, thanks to those constant deadlines.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 5, 2018

It's original, it's compelling, and it's completely mediocre.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 10, 2018

Overall, [its] a solid, well-acted, well-conceived and well-staged science fiction film of the classic, quietly cerebral Outer Limits/Twilight Zone variety.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 4, 2018

If you're just after popcorn thrills, then In Time is not a complete waste of time, but future generations will not remember it.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 24, 2018

Interesting as the film is as a science fiction concept and dull as it is as a political allegory, the Christian understands that there is a fundamental flaw in the story, namely that W.H. Auden was wrong.

I enjoyed the film thoroughly, and realized afterward how well Niccol had drawn me into his imagined world. The first postscreening sight of a digital clock gave me the autonomic ghastlies.

| Jan 9, 2018

The final act kind of just falls apart and the big reveal about the time keeper's backstory fell flat.
