The new movie coming out called In Time, featuring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried is premiering in theaters on October 28th 2011. This movie is focused on the science fiction and futuristic technology. In Time has many similarities with the movie Gattaca, because in their preview it showed how futuristic technology is implanted into new born. Basically in this movie technology eliminated old age and made it possible for everyone to live till 25 years old. Everyone has a "timer" on their arm showing how much years/time they have left to live. However, the rich is able to live beyond 25 years old, but still look 25. So as long as a person as the money to add more time in their life, the longer they live. But if you are poor and can not afford to live forever, you'll die young.
This movie is interesting, not only because Justin looks amazing in it, but also it makes us wonder...is the technology in the future really able to do this? If so, that would be unfortunate for us, because there is more "poor" people then rich people in the society and I'm going to predict that it will stay like that in the future. So with rich people living forever, isn't the population of rich people be higher then poor people? With the age 25 years being the age everyone is, I think its all based on appearance. In our society, people care too much about how they look and how to stay young as long as possible, that this technology being created isn't a surprise. But it's pretty cool how Justin Timberlake is finding ways to work around the government system. He is considered the Dystopian protagonist. I just hope that in the future the rich people will not take over the world, that would be horrible because everything would be too expensive to buy. The economy would just die.
