Dreary and Depressing

Rating: 5/10 (24 August 2008)

In 2027, when all women in the world are infertile, a British woman miraculously becomes pregnant and is escorted by a reluctant bureaucrat through a desolate world of warring groups to a safe haven. A fairly simple story is tediously dragged out. The film is uninteresting and depressing, a bad combination. The objectives of the militant group that Moore belongs to are never clearly explained. The characters are not fleshed out so the viewer has no rooting interest. Owen does OK as the hero. Moore's role is so small that she shouldn't have bothered. Caine, playing an old hippie, is lively but his character adds little to the story.
