Character mistake: When travelling between zones, they go 12 - 10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 5 - 4. Which is the only route you can take that includes zone 8 as shown. This is silly as there are quicker routes such as 12 - 7 - 5 - 4.
In Time (2011)
1 character mistake
Directed by: Andrew Niccol
Starring: Amanda Seyfried, Cillian Murphy, Justin Timberlake
Other mistake: Will did not have enough time to place into the pot at the poker game. For those at the end of a hand, they each have contributed a minimum of an equal percent based on the number of people in the hand. There were potentially 5 people at the start of the hand, and Will did not have enough to cover 20% of the final pot. He would have needed well over 200 years available, and we know he had a little over 100.

Suggested correction: It's suggested that Will was at the table for a while, and we, the viewers, return later to see the stakes have increased. This is established when the camera shows his wrist as having over 250 years available, when he entered with barely over 100.
Sylvia Weis: I didn't mean to shoot him, I wanted to scare him.
Will Salas: I think you did both.
Trivia: Olivia Wilde plays Justin Timberlake's mother in the movie, even though she is three years his junior.
Question: We see in the movie that the time is like money but where is the "time" generated?
Chosen answer: When they turn 25, their built-in clock starts counting down from 1 year. Since time is the currency, they must then work and contribute to the economy, in order to earn time and survive. The government gives that one year of time to each person, as both a population control measure (if they don't work and earn, they'll die) and an economic incentive.
