Guest leelee. Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Is this movie based off of a book? The plot line sounds like a book I've seen before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarkAngelInLove Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 First off this is a very beautiful cast: JT, Olivia Wilde, Amanda Seyfried, Matt Bomer, and one of the actors from Big Bang Theory! I love the concept of the plot line because it's not that different from our reality. Rich people taking advantage of the system is obvious. Immortality and clocks on our hands don't exist, but if you study sociology or occasionally read the news, you would understand where I'm coming from. Your Life span determined on where you are socially is nothing new. People who live on or below the poverty line do have shorter life span and are more vulnerable to diseases because the rich have the power to tell the corporations (and government) where they should built their power plants and where their freeways. Rich class also have better access to medicine and healthier expensive (organic) food, while the people below the poverty line have to use the ER as a place to have a check up and can only afford McDonald one dollar menu.

JunMiYoung Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 The plot is rather intriguing and I will definitely give it a shot when it hits the theaters. Hopefully it is as good as it sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rforest Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 it's such a good thing to be a known musician--so many movie opportunities. Not a JT fan and don't respect him as an actor yet, but the plot is so interesting. Time as currency? I'm sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest res0nate Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I'm really glad Andrew Niccol is back, the man directed and wrote some really fantastic films the past 15 years. Hopefully Timberlake doesn't screw the film over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flowerpetals Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 The plot sounds very interesting but I'm not really liking the cast. It just seems really... weak. I don't know why but I would definitely like it if Marion Cotillard was in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest toGETherONE Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I like JT as a growing actor, however I wish he didn't have any lines in the movie. Kinda ruined it for me watching this trailer. I still love him as a singer much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xosandy Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Agreed that the plot does sound interesting and fresh. I haven't seen any of Justin Timberlake's movies but maybe he'll surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MqN Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Gattaca is one of my favorite movies of all times. This is a slight reminisce to Gattaca so I'm torn between watching it and ignoring it because JT is utterly poor in acting. Argh, why?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butterflyeffect Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 So I watched it... and was rather underwhelmed. I felt that many scenes were either unnecessary or cheesy. Matt Bomer and Justin Timberlake should have traded roles. lolol Overall it is decent though. I'm still quite fascinated by the concept. I thought it was really sad when Olivia Wilde's character died ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bk. Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 It wasn't bad. I just wish they went a little deeper into the plot, and made the characters more complex. Especially, Sylvia's dad. I really loved Amanda Seyfried in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asianbarbie Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 JT and Amanda Seyfried were pretty good as a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jisol Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 watched it the other day. love it. it's a good popcorn flick, the whole concept could have been much more intricate though it would have made a fantastic series; nevertheless very enjoyable movie, alex pettyfer's appearance was pleasantly surprising, he makes a rather good mini villain ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
