A disturbing vision of the future

Rating: 5/10 (23 October 2006)

This film presents a very disturbing future. A mystery complaint causes all the women in the planet to become infertile. Rather than worrying about the end of mankind the planet seems more interested in the death of the youngest person. The world has descended into chaos and Britain is close to being a fascist state. Yes, this is a very disturbing vision of the future, but somehow it didn't ring true. I'm all for suspending belief when I go to the movies, but it just didn't ring true to me. I certainly hope that's the case anyway.
The plot is slightly disappointing, but the acting and the action clips make up for this. I've always been a big fan of Julianne Moore and this film sees another fine supporting performance. Michael Caine also puts in a good performance and Owen in the lead role is very competent. Well worth checking out.
