movie-in time

In time's a movie that I've wanted to watch last year when it came out. Sadly, I missed the showing so now I'm watching it on DVD. I still prefer watching in the cinemas though, it's so much better with the bigger screen and sound system. 

I like the concept of in time-it's a really interesting dystopia setting, with money being the future currency and also dictating how long one can live. The rich live longer since time is money while currency is still money, and the poor die when they run out of time (money). It shows the 2 leads trying to go against the system by robbing banks for time and giving it away (kind of like robinhood in my opinion; what they're doing is illegal but they're doing it anyway in the name of 'justice' as they see it).

There are many points in this story that I can't help wonder. How did this governing system come about? Is it even possible to genetically engineer humans such that everyone stops aging at 25 and the timer on their hands will show their future lifespan? Isn't it scary to see your life ticking away on the clock (especially if you're poor and hence out of time). It brings to me the concept of knowing when you're going to die-is that good or bad? Will you live a fuller life if you know when you're dying and hence perhaps waste less time? Or is it that because you're running out of time (for the poor), you get so worried etc and live very stressful lives while the rich (with plenty of time) can afford not prioritising anything in their lives at all since they have centuries? 

Kind of like the vampire conflict isn't it. Being immortal and hence losing touch with what it means to really be a human. But what really defines human? If humans are engineered so much that their livespan can be controlled, then are we still humans? I feel that'd be more like robots.

Maybe this whole thing may just end up being an experiment (like how it was in maze runner) and then there's another world outside of this in time setting. 

Just a random speculation. Then we can have a sequel.
