AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF APOCALYPTIC SCI-FI

Rating: 9/10 (21 April 2020)

Children of Men is a grim & gritty sci-fi Thriller but it's also so much more with it's many messages & in the face look at a not to distant future & one that feels scarily familiar already!!!
There's lots under the surface of this Apocalyptic sci-fi Thriller & probably tons of hidden messages about where we're heading but i enjoyed as an exciting & gripping Sci-fi Thriller that is drenched in a real grim & gritty sludge but mainly as a great piece of entertainment & sci-fi filmmaking.
This ain't no Neon-drenched BladeRunner, this is a dirty & raw scruffy future flick that has a sense of realism in it's cinematography & overall look of the future here in England.
This could easily be real, could easily happen & feels real.
The movie is relevant & shocking but also exciting too. Clive Owen gives a great intense performance as an ordinary guy protecting a pregnant lady at a time when there hasn't been a baby born in years, the world is in a panicked & depressed state with no hope. No one gets pregnant anymore & no children anywhere, there's a big mystery to all this & a real sense of loss & sadness, loneliness & desperation is the atmosphere in this Thrilling piece of science fiction.
Clive Owen as Theo must get the ONLY pregnant women to a safe place amongst a devastated England that has collapsed & fallen. There's danger everywhere in the year 2027 & it's a dystopian nightmare & feels like no where is safe.
The cast is excellent with the legendary Michael Caine & Julianne Moore is excellent roles.
This is probably the best movie Clive Owen has made? It's definitely one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever made.
An intense & gritty survival Thriller set in a scary world
