When Does "In Time" (2011) Take Place?
"IN TIME" is a science fiction film written by Andrew Niccol that released October 28th, 2011. So when is "In Time" set?
It takes place in the year:
We know this because Philippe Weis states that he's "25 for the 85th time" establishing he has experienced 84 extended life years. As the system for transferring time before death between bodies has not been invented in the real world and he has not aged since being 25, we know it is at least 84 years ahead of our world, which at present, is 2026 AD. So it’s at least 2110 AD.
2169? AD
We know this because Philippe Weis states that he's "25 for the 85th time" establishing he has experienced 84 extended life years. As the system for transferring time before death between bodies has not been invented in the real world and he has not aged since being 25, we know it is at least 84 years ahead of our world, which at present, is 2026 AD. So it’s at least 2110 AD.
2,026 + 84 = 2,110.
During the in-universe mockumentary "The Minutes" (2012) a geneticist is asked, "So, uh, how old are you and what do you do?" and replies, "I’m 206 years old. I'm a genetic engineer." and then after being asked, "Is it true you participated in the engineering of the aging gene?", replies, "I was just an assistant. 18. At the time." So it has been 188 years since the first person was gentically engineered to stop aging. Again, we can only calculate from our real-world present, currently 2026 AD. So it’s probably at least 2214 AD.
206 - 18 = 188
and
2,026 + 188 = 2,214.
