Whats the dumbest premise of a movie you've ever seen?
>everyones remaining life time is written in numbers like a clock on their arm
>le poor people have not much time while the rich have centuries of life remaining
>people go to casinos and 'gamble their life away'
wow so deep. what a load of shit

The only thing I remember about this giant piece of shit is a bank heist to steal a bunch of time and my first thought was what if they just had the time installed in some way it couldn't immediately be stolen then they open the vault and it's just a normal time holder with like a trillion years on it, not even locked to the floor or chained up.

Really makes you think

Logan's Run used different colored crystals

>>213918582 (OP)
Eh, I thought it was pretty clever. Not realistic obviously, but clever enough to hold my interest, at least until the "Bonnie and Clyde" sequence started.

>>213918582 (OP)
I liked it

You only think so because it's starring JT. If it had Goose or Mark Wahlberg starring in it you'd be glazing it

>>213918582 (OP)
This was such a fucking stupid movie and I keep getting youtube shorts of it. The comments are always full of browns praising it for being so good, but I just can’t dumb myself down to their level of retarded to understand why they like it.

Southland Tales was trash too

>>213918582 (OP)
If it had leaned more into playfulness and the bizarreness of the concept, kind of like 'Brazil', I think it could have been a better hit

>>213918787
ur stupid

>Jaws... but on the beach!
Tremors is great though.

>>213918896
Tremors has the sound thing going on. Blood Beach has almost nothing

I feel there's a handful of dumb scifi movies they rotate between with the same 2-3 scenes each. Like with some Simon Pegg movie where he has god powers

When the plot leaked that the Predators were trying to weaponize autism, I thought it was 4chinz making shit up as usual.

JT is a much better actor with more charisma than le Goose.

Did I mention his best friends a talking pie?

>>213918582 (OP)
current lifeforce energy market rates?

>>213918582 (OP)
Time as currency is an interesting concept.
But executing it in non-retarded was alwayss going to difficult.
Do they ever explain where the "time" originates from? Do they have time-mine/ power plants?

>>213919032
>the only thing people remember about JT now is that britney spears wrote in her memoir that his pp was so small that she couldn't even tell if it was in or not

poor guy

>live to see the end of the universe.
I forget the specificities of how it works.

>>213918949
Yeah I get that one as well, and a few Ricky Gervais clips about problems nobody actually has like wanting to order off the kids menu at a restaurant. Founder has clips pop up all the time as well, specifically the goofy meme scene where he orders.

It was a bit on the nose but I went in knowing it was gonna be a cheesy flick due to Justin Timberlake being the lead. Had my waifu in it so I gave it a chance. I was pleasantly surprised and they did a good job of world building and the performances by some pretty famous actors was great and unexpected. I don't know why you're shitting on it so hard it was well done for what it was. I would even watch it again for a few scenes. Anon itt said the Bonnie and Clyde thing was when it drops off and I agree, but a cheesy idea done well is better than a good one done shitty imo.
Tldnr: fuck off it wasn't that bad, good even for a fair bit of it.

only females and queers would read celeb memoirs. you knowing what she wrote exposes you as a queer.

Did you think the Now You See Me 2 card scene was epic too, jeetoid?

>>213919094
>>213919162
i think in the movie you're given a standard amount of time when you turn 18. minors don't have the time thingie on their arms. but they can still starve if their parents don't have enough time currency to buy food.

>>213919385
But you get to keep the money until you are old? Not that I would take it but seems like what a shortsighted person would do. solid flick.

>>213918582 (OP)
I liked it. Girl was super hot too

>>213919328
so all surplus time-rich millionaires is harvested from teens?
Does that mean there is human farm?

>>213918715
The crystals didn't kill them, though. They just measure how old the people were.

>after a massive war destroyed the previous society the new leaders decided, that feelings are the route of every problem so they've designed a drug to surpress them and prosecute everyone who still feels
>also, the regime's top enforcers practice martial arts with guns
Only OP's movie rivals it in its sheer silliness

Finally dl'd Weapons. Has the dumbest premise unironically. inb4 it's horror turn brain off. 17 missing kids from one class would be the world's biggest news story. Even 5 missing kids would receive endless TV specials, Shitflix docus and podcasts.
Why is the witch from Field of Dreams being nominated for an Oscar? She's barely in it. This movie will eventually be hated. The buzz is like a normie spell.

>>213918582 (OP)
the foid was hot

No one cared when The Accountant did it. And Prey was nearly as shite.

>>213918582 (OP)
>hey kid what’s your name ?
>Just In TimeBerlake
I turned off the film at that point

Even if there was a 10% chance of making this an interesting premise, they ruined it by making everyone feel compelled to tell their thoughts all the time. Keeping quiet isn't lying.

Sure it is, you're keeping something secret which is itself an act of deception. Nobody would even think of sugar coating anything.
Having said that I'm sure this movie is pure trash and just thinking about it with who is in it and wrote it makes me cringe because I know it's even worse than I am imagining.

>>213918582 (OP)
I watched the film and don’t remember much besides the fact they had no real ending to the movie and it just runs out of steam half way into it
Do they give an explanation to why the “time” thing even happened ? I assume science invented a way so every human in now immortal so they added a time clock to their arm to give people motivation to actually do something instead of being lazy but …I might be completely making that explanation up

>>213920402
It’s the same as liar liar

It's not Kubrik or anything but it's pretty entertaining if you like Gervais humor

I go either way with him. If he isn't on his atheism high horse fueled by his own farts he can be pretty funny. And I say that as an atheist.

>>213920402
If he invented lying, wouldn't that make him satan?

>>213918721
>Eh, I thought it was pretty clever.
It's an interesting concept but falls apart if you think about it for a bit.
>How would the economy would work at all? Any murders would erase ridiculous amounts of currency so theoretically everything should be part of an enormous dictatorship with regulation of weaponry and people being so heavily monitored it would be impossible to even stab someone. In the movie the banks have their own military basically and they do monitor you to a degree, but not in a way that makes crime very hard to have happen.
>Sudden deaths of people with thousands upon thousands of years in them due to natural causes would basically be the equivalent of a Fortune 50 company going under.
>Once the replacement level went too low the entire system collapses as a whole. The only way it works is if everyone is breeding to Africa levels in every country all the time.
>Older people have no value compared to younger people and there would be no reason to care about them outside of altruism.
>Altruism and charity as a concept would realistically be dead because you are literally donating an absurd amount of your life in a single second to do the equivalent of donating to a charity or a homeless person. Due to the absurd cost of everything donations would be untenable.
Obviously the parallel is donating an hour of your wages (Imagine $15 minimum wage) to a starving kid but people are able to disassociate because it's money and not their time.
>Nihilism and existential dread would be way more prevalent because everyone knows when they will die from natural causes.
>People would be significantly more selfish because of knowing how much time they have.
>Such a system would never take hold within society without an outright revolt because of how easy it would be for anyone controlling said system to just give themselves infinite years and the poors basically nothing. I believe the movie implied it was man-made.

It's so hard to reconcile as a concept.

Everyone in the setting is already a genetically engineered immortal posthuman; after all this is from the same guy who made Gattaca. Note that Olivia Wilde's character is Justin Timberlake's desperately poor 50 year old wagie mother. She's clearly not getting some secret billionaire adrenochrome cyborg treatments or whatever, she was just programmed from birth to age to adulthood and then stop like everyone else. So the timer system and its derived currency is entirely artificial and arbitrary because it's to stop the world from being overpopulated with immortals.

>>213921817
I'm angrier they didn't play Four Minutes (To Save The World) over the credits

>>213922135
>>213918663
Also on the time currency being meaningless fiat, remember that after the heist Timberlake is both told that the Time he stole can be replaced by the authorities by simply pressing a button, and whatever he redistributes will quickly be drained back out of the lower class economy by raising prices and lowering wages
