Interesting Concept

Rating: 7/10 (16 January 2007)

The cinematography and execution of this movie is impressive. Owen plays a disillusioned unknowing hero who ends up trying to save the life of a young mother and child.
The world portrayed in the future - very bleak and oppressive is very believable. However, what I found a bit weak/hard to believe is the entire premise of why there have not been any children born into the world for the past eighteen years (Truth be told, it is always going to be difficult to replicate the entire storyline of a book into a movie).
In particular the scene where when the mother is carrying her child down through the building and all the soldiers/fighters stop fighting and look in awe - but as soon as the first gunshot was fired the Owen, the mother and the child were ignored as they continued their gun battle.
Anyway, overall an entertaining movie which I would recommend seeing if you can palate the premise behind the movie.
