Children of Men reviews

Amazing storyline, very convincing set etc. Probably one of Clive Owen's best performances. Genuinely one of my favourite movies. The Blu-Ray quality is of course exceptional.
The highlights of this movie are: the original and engrossing plot, Clive Owen's performance, and Michael Caine's perfor­mance. Must watch!

Great movie, highly recommended for dystopia sci-fi fans. The long takes are a marvel in itself and well worthy of repeat viewing.

There is a lot to like about this film. The documentary style camera work, the grim distopian art direction, some great performances and a decent story line.

Set in the near future in a world where no children have been born for 18 years, this film is highly original. Society has begun to collapse into disorder and chaos, and a hard-bitten journalist is forced to re-evaluate everything in his life when circumstances put him in charge of protecting a young girl who is pregnant. The acting is excellent from all the leads and there is a great cameo by Michael Caine. The special effects, creating a near future world, are impressively subtle and although the film contains graphic violence it is entirely within context.

To be honest I was expecting a 3 star movie from Children of Men, but this is truly a masterpiece that is under-rated. It shows the problems that could arise due to infertility for 18 years. It is a post-apocalyptic movie. And great performances by Clive Owen and Michael Caine (especially Caine). An awesome storyline with a very realistic feel to it. After watching it I give it 5 stars easy!

A bit far fetched but good watching
