Brilliant film-making!

Rating: 9/10 (14 October 2006)

I would certainly like to see more films like this one. This film had the feeling of the movie "12 Monkeys" by Terry Giliam - yet Alfonso Cuarón is a more sophisticated director than Giliam. Cuarón thrills you all the way. This movie is built to the smallest detail. I will not forget the amazing one-shot in the car, as the characters were being attacked - so intense! Amazing shot. I enjoyed the storyline - that in the future women can no longer have babies - I think it's brilliant. My problem was that the movie ended quite poorly. No answers or theories were given as to why women cannot have babies - or to why only a single woman miraculously managed to get pregnant. Like many futuristic movies, this one carries lots of criticism on our world today, which is fine by me.
