Was I watching the same movie?

Rating: 1/10 (8 January 2007)

As I went to see Children of Men, thoughts of a dark futuristic thriller danced through my mind. After all, one review called it the next "Blade Runner"... so with this thought in mind, the theater grew dark. Frankly, I was stunned at this crappy movie. It wasted 2 hours of my life that I will never ever get back.
The movie was like watching an episode of "The Prisoner" with its quiet moments then jarring 60s music. 1/2 of this movie is spent listening to some crappy music while showing landscape scenes. Ruby Tuesday song sucked. Bad editing and an utterly pointless moment at the end when unexpectedly "CHILDREN OF MEN" is emblazoned on the screen. It worked for Gangs of New York, but not this turkey. I got all fidgety desperately wanting the movie to end... crappy dialog and super-bad acting with this cast of nobodies... If I was the executive in charge of green-lighting this project, I would have quietly set the finished product ablaze - or sent it directly to DVD.
Good lord, avoid this at all costs.
