"Nope. Woke up, felt like sh*t. Went to work, felt like sh*t."

Rating: 8/10 (11 February 2008)

In 2027, in a chaotic world in which humans can no longer procreate, a former activist ( Clive Owen) agrees to help transport a miraculously pregnant woman ( Claire-Hope) to a sanctuary at sea, where her child's birth may help scientists save the future of humankind.
So starts Children of Men. Which is easily one of the best directed films I have seen in years. Alfonso Cuarn has created an almost doc-style of filming for this film, which truly grasps you from the first scene of a bomb blast to the last. The performances in this film are nothing short of amazing, Owen finally delivers, ( that scene of him ordering coffee while everyone else is crying and stunned over the death of Baby Diego is priceless) and Julianne Moore, Michael Caine, Pam Ferris and Chiwetel Ejiofor all give everything they got.
The film is filed with so many themes: society, family, hope, fate and chance. That one can't really place but just one. But, Pam Ferris character really sums up a lot of the film with one single quote. "As the sound of the playgrounds faded, the despair set in. Very odd, what happens in a world without children's voices." There is one huge scene towards the end of the film, that will just leave you breathless. All I'm going to say is it involves a bunch of soldiers.
