Realistic view of what we might get...

Rating: 9/10 (2 March 2007)

I did not have high hopes for this film, since I thought the story itself would be silly. I based that on the trailer I watched.
However, I was surprised that this film was very well made. The director, actors, DP and effects-people are extremely competent and have made something utterly fantastic.
Not only is it a visually perfected film - it is also thought provoking, interesting and covers a dystopia that is more realistic than we might believe.
Many will probably be upset about how certain groups are portrayed, but it is very nice to see that this is not a black/white film with "good guys" and "bad guys". It's just regular people.
CHILDREN OF MEN is a wonderful movie that is very impressive. It's dark and sad, but that just makes it so much better. Great sci-fi at its best! 9/10
