Review: Children of Men
In a bleak future where humans are infertile, Theo (Clive Owen) finds hope in a pregnant girl as he tries to lead her safely to The Human Project, an almost mythical gathering of scientists trying to solve the mystery of humans' inability to reproduce.
A stunning, albeit dark and twisted view of the future by Alfonso Cuaron. The awesome performances, intriguing story, and wonderful cinematography make this a great movie. The scenery and dialogue add to the dark grittiness. I am always a fan of movies set in the future. Even movies that seem slightly awkward and staggering.
My favorite parts of the movie:
the future
characters referring to themselves in the third person
coughing strawberry weed
the story
4 out of 5 stars.
