Movie of the year

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 2006)

Tired of popcorn snapping "big mac" movies that leave you half empty and hungry for some real brain food? Ever got the feeling spy kids VI is getting more attention in Hollywood then anything with substance? Well look no further.
Children of Men is a disturbing, captivating thrillride that leaves you wondering what the future is going to be for mankind.
Al Gore shows us that if you put a frog in boiling water it will jump out, but if you put it in cold water and slowly boil it, the frog will stay: this is the boiling water.
It is beautiful, spectacular and most of all hopefull movie. There is a big message in this film, its not about the characters or any particular detail., even thought it is full of fantastic details. It is a film you should go see without as little preconception as possible. Thats how I got to see it, just thought it might be fun after seeing "inside man" and got the surprise of a lifetime. Caught by surprise I was sucked in completely for the first time in years.
In a way I think people should not read any reviews of films these days. Plots are so thin and build for such a shallow audience pretty much any word might give away whats going to happen.
But children of Men will not disappoint because it is not specifically about the plots, its about a feeling.
It is there to let you know we as humans have always got the choice: sit in a bar and smoke the world away or change it to make it the paradise we have been promised for ages.
If you are looking for a film that can stirr your soul, this is the one. If your looking for yet another cinematic cheeseburg: your better of with Rocky 39.
