Directed by: Andrew Niccol
Starring: Amanda Seyfried, Cillian Murphy, Justin Timberlake
Revealing mistake: When serving on the bridge, there are multiple shots where skid marks from previous takes are visible. (00:44:20)
Revealing mistake: When Wil is showing Sylvia how to shoot, and she fires, Justin Timberlake can be seen wearing earplugs. When the scene cuts, he no longer is wearing them.
Plot hole: In the last car-chasing scene, the timekeeper had switched his car to chase them, then how could Justin Timberlake get the timekeeper's salary (a day's time) from a car that the timekeeper picked up from the streets?
Suggested correction: I think it is the car of another time keeper. Hence, it may have a time transfer system.
Raymond Leon: I don't have time. I don't have time to worry about how it happened. It is what it is. We're genetically engineered to stop aging at 25. The trouble is, we live only one more year, unless we can get more time. Time is now the currency. We earn it and spend it. The rich can live forever. And the rest of us? I just want to wake up with more time on my hand than hours in the day.
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.
