Great film from Alfonso Cuarran.

Rating: 7/10 (26 September 2018)

The premise of Children of men is this: In the near future couples have become incapable of having children because females have become infertile. Society is in a state of crumbling down when a lone black girl is found to be pregnant. She is the only hope of an antidote and it becomes the task of lead(Clive Owen) to take her to safety aided by a few others. The film looks bleak because of the saturated colors and England looks like a depressing place. The camerawork and pacing is quite good and a long tracking shot in a car is both breathtaking and artistic in its execution. The director would go on to helm Gravity and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban so the style is a constant. This is a good science fiction film more concerned on the social commentary than explosions and effects.
