"Must see"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

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!

"It may not be the end of the world, but you can see it from here"
5 stars"

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

"Excellent Movie"

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.

Description

Children of Men

Children of Men envisages a world one generation from now that has fallen into anarchy on the heels of an infertility defect in the population. The world's youngest citizen has just died at 18, and humankind is facing the likelihood of its own extinction.

Set against a backdrop of London torn apart by violence and warring nationalistic sects, Children of Men follows disillusioned bureaucrat Theo (Owen) as he becomes an unlikely champion of Earth's survival. When the planet's last remaining hope is threatened, this reluctant activist is forced to face his own demons and protect her from certain peril.

Critic Reviews:

  • " Best Movie of the year. Cuaron just went to a whole new level with me. The class of filmmaking – the extended shots! those shots! my god! – here is astonishing. " – Jason Adams
  • " Alfonso Cuarón delivers a masterpiece that explores humanity and love in a world that's scarce of hope. " – Fico Cangiano
  • " As always, Michael Caine manages to steal every scene he's in with effortless, offbeat comedic charm. " – Mike Massie
