A fairly novel and entertaining concept in the time-travel sci-fi genre involving the snatching of bodies from people in the moments before their imminent deaths via some sort of temporal transport beam technology and bringing them 'back to the future' where the subjects' minds are erased and bodies sold sell to a select class of aging geriatric clientele with the means to pay top dollar. All of this taking place against a backdrop of a dystopia America decimated by devastating economic recession, toxic environmental meltdown and persist class Warfare creating a society where there are "people at the top and people at the bottom and no one in between."
By all means this movie should be absolutely fantastic and I was hoping one of my new favorites in the time-travel genre. Unfortunately the writing isn't up to par and the ideas and themes the story presents are not fully explored up to their full potential. The story lacks drama or the elements of a psychological Thriller leaving only the Sci-fi concept to carry the film. Unfortunately this is attempted with boring action scenes that did not keep me wanting to find out what was going to happen next. This movie was a missed opportunity that I would love to see remade today-only much better.
