Probably the most underrated film of 2006

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2012)

Simply amazing.
Where to start? Intense, dark, melancholic, but still with a strong sense of hope. Well done, with a realistic and naturalistic feel. Scary in its very plausible portrayal of our near future. A story along the same lines of Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's A brave new world. This movie has the kind of eerie feeling: "Is this really gonna happen?"... "Maybe it's already happening?". Apparently based on a book by P.D James, which I didn't know when I saw the film. Makes me want to read other books by the same author. Children of Men might be a bit too dark for some people, but it is well worth the watch. And it is not as dark as The Road, if that is a good indicator. Intelligent and serious stuff, more than just mindless action sci-fi.
See it!
