Justin Timberlake's 'In Time' & 10 Other Really Perplexing Movie Premises

Initially, Justin Timberlake's new sci-fi action flick was referred to as "Now." Apparently, though, that title didn't effectively communicate just what the movie involved, which isn't exactly surprising because just what the movie, now referred to as "With Time,Inch is all about is kinda high-concept and confusing. Go for us (and JT) for just about any second. In this film future, overpopulation will be a biiiiiiig problem, so scientists determined the best way to slice and dice an individuals genome to the level where aging stops when you're 25. Since people like living and shouldn't die youthful, time is nearly the brand new currency, something acquired throughout work and spent like cash. Just how time might be acquired, stolen and saved an eye on around the fancy neon clock inside your arm (additionally to why everyone afterwards is actually damn attractive) is not really referred to. And why if it's? Confounding high-concept plots certainly are a Hollywood staple. In this sense, "Over TimeInch joins the sometimes glorious, sometimes grating pantheon of movies with really perplexing premises. "The Jacket": An amnesic Gulf War veteran takes an experimental drug, locks themselves in the morgue chamber and has the ability to travel 15 a substantially very long time, where he finds out he might be dead in one timeline while not another. Or something like that like this. Somebody revoke Adrien Brody's Oscar. "Primer": An excellent low-budget time-travel flick so sciencey you will need a PhD or two tabs of acidity to understand it. "Lost in Space": As if the vista of Joey from "Pals" becoming an action hero isn't perplexing enough, this adaptation introduces another-act time-travel plotline making less sense than Herman Cain's tax plan. Why, Gary Oldman, why? "Beginning": Really the only factor much better than this dream-within-a-dream-within-a-bunch-of-other-dreams movie happens when the hell Christopher Nolan attracted everything off. "Donnie Darko: Can it be too harsh to convey that anyone who thinks this is often a fantastically produced work where suburban alienation and sci-fi mindf--k dovetail to make a generation-identifying film is certainly a fool? Well i suppose. The film can't make sense. As well as the rabbit factor is silly. "Detention": Just watch a clip after which it attempt to explain just what the eff that movie is about. "The Thirteenth Floor: This is often a prime instance of an undesirable-good sci-fi film. Don't request why nobody in this virtual-reality story never traveled outdoors of town to discover oh shiz! they live in virtual reality too. "Johnny Mnemonic": Who'd allow any sensitive information being posted for safe-keeping into Keanu Reeve's brain? Maybe if David Fincher or David Wain remade this movie, it might be darkly creepy or darkly absurd, there's however grounds Robert Longo has only been allowed to produce one movie since it. "The Fountain": It'd take a lot more caffeine than could be acquired at our local Local coffee shop only to summon up enough energy to sum up what's goes reduced this time around around-hopping movie aboutwell, honestly, we're not able to. Deal with it. Every David Lynch movie ever: I'm speaking about, amiright?!
