Overrated piece of garbage

Rating: 1/10 (3 June 2008)

I had high hopes for this movie after seeing the high rating, but after it was over I was confused and appalled (mostly at the complete waste of 2 hours of my time). It started out interestingly enough, but soon degenerated into a confusing, pointless mishmash of meaningless violence. Not only is this movie unrelentingly grim, none of it seems to have anything to do with anything else. One premise is of a world with no children, and the other is of a world gone mad with violence. Unfortunately, the connection between these is never made. What led to this situation? Who are these oddly-named rebel groups (the fishes???)? What do they all want? Why is the British government doing what it's doing? You'd think with no children, there would be plenty of space available. Why is Kee really important? (there's only one of her, after all; hardly enough to make a difference in the entire world!) What do they want to do with her? WTF is going on? There are no answers or explanations. In short, this movie is a giant steaming pile of crap masquerading as arty social commentary.
