Synopsis

No children. No future. No hope. In the year 2027, eighteen years since the last baby was born, disillusioned Theo (Clive Owen) becomes an unlikely champion of the human race when he is asked by his former lover (Julianne Moore) to escort a young pregnant woman out of the country as quickly as possible. In a thrilling race against time, Theo will risk everything to deliver the miracle the whole world has been waiting for. Co-starring Michael Caine, filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron's Children of Men "Lifts you to the rafters, transporting you with the greatness of its filmmaking. The action is swift, ferocious and spectacularly choreographed." (The New York Times)

    intelligent thriller

    06 December 2008
    Directed by Alfonso Cuaron, Oscar-nominated Children of Men is set in a nightmarish future in which humankind is facing extinction. Disillusioned civil servant Theo is faced with the dangerous task of transporting a young pregnant woman named Kee to safety, as she carries the hope of human survival. It's certainly powerful stuff - dark and uncompromising, Children of Men paints a chilling picture of a chaotic and bleak world. It's more intelligent and original than the average mainstream film of its kind, but also manages to be highly entertaining. Well-developed characters, a nicely crafted plot, and great special effects make Children of Men a film that leaves a lasting impression on the viewer.

    10 September 2008
    It's a weak and fairly dull script with a MacGuffin that simply makes no sense (i.e. what difference does it make if the woman gets to the boat?). Add in the charisma-void Clive Owen, who manages to ruin just about every film he's in, and you've got a slow moving film with characters and a cause you neither believe in nor care about. Not worth watching.
