Critics Consensus

In Time's intriguing premise and appealing cast are easily overpowered by the blunt, heavy-handed storytelling.

In Time | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Noah Berlatsky The Atlantic The film's central metaphor is so sublimely obvious it feels like it's been stolen from a forgotten Star Trek script. Aug 28, 2019 Full Review In Time | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Anna Smith metro.co.uk If you're just after popcorn thrills, then In Time is not a complete waste of time, but future generations will not remember it. Rated: 2/5 Aug 24, 2018 Full Review In Time | Rotten Tomatoes (3) David Thomson The New Republic In Time is so crammed with provocative ideas it begins to feel over-crowded. Jun 20, 2013 Full Review In Time | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Graeme Tuckett Stuff.co.nz 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 Full Review In Time | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine 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] Rated: 6/10 Sep 26, 2023 Full Review In Time | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson The high concept science-fiction played out in "In Time" is as uniquely original, stylish, challenging, and enthralling as it is preposterous.

Audience Member The idea, but only the idea, was a good one. The film, the writing, is such utter nonsense, and that in the highest degree, with major flaws, without end. I knew there was a reason why I never watched it back then. Unbelievable garbage. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review L. Gerardo H Excellent concept, but the delivery was somewhat poorly. Still, it's a good watch Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Der letzte G Die Grundidee ist spannend, die Umsetzung ist mangelhaft. Großes Manko ist vor allem, dass sich der Protagonist Will sehr unrealistisch verhält. Er scheint mit allen Gepflogenheiten der High Society bestens vertraut, obwohl er aus der Unterschicht kommt. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review Aaron C Loved this film, shame there's no sequels.Loved the idea we pay with time Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/02/24 Full Review Brian O Overall, an interesting concept. However, much of the acting didn’t stick for me. It felt unnatural, cliche, forced, and a bit cringy at times. There was a lot of dialogue dumping as well. For example, “It’s not like we have a million.” “You know what, we don’t.” This was their way of saying they were going to get a million (in time), but it felt unnatural. The actors, themselves, aren’t bad. Take Cillian Murphy, for example. He recently played Oppenheimer and won an Oscar, as many know. But, sometimes, a great actor suffers from a bad script. I believe this is one of those times.
