Have you ever imagined that your life is being controlled by time? Well, this movie is all about time where the people in this place know when will they expire except for accidents or suicides that may occur to them. Just like living a normal life but they will know when they will they because of the timer that they had in their arms.

Story

The story is all about Will Salas where he lived in this world and being controlled by time when they turned 25, they will not aged after 25 but rather their time will start ticking when they got at that age. Of course, if they are below 25 years old, they can enjoy their time and not to worry about it.

Everything is being bought by time just like when you buy groceries, riding a bus, loans, and etc. Time is important that they make a living out of it. Will, the protagonist, is working at a company that makes a mini bank vault, that can store time and use it anywhere.

He encountered a man with hundreds of time in his hand drinking at a bar and making himself drunk because I think the man is wasted and Will helps him out of respect because in that area, lots of robbers will come to you to rob your time if they saw that you have lots of time.

Eventually, the man is thanking Will because he helps him. After that, the man gave most of his time to will and leaving himself for about 15mins to go outside. Then, he was happy because he has now lots of time but he was being accused of the death of the man that gave him time.

Will he be punished and go to prison or find a way and fight against the system?

Thoughts

The story is great and also the actors are also awesome. This is a story that reminds me of a system just like our country where you need to work hard just to earn a living. I am also curious on how they got to generate the time in the movie. There is also a romance that makes it truly remarkable movie.

I'm into science fiction movies and I love watching these kind of movie because of the technology. I watched this movie for over 2 times already and it makes me wonder on what if this will come true? I surely doubt it will come true because it's impossible to print a number that ticks on your hand.
