A very poor film apart from a good performance by Mr Caine!

Rating: 1/10 (30 September 2006)

We went to see the film on opening night after seeing the trailers and reading some positive early reviews. The subject is of great interest to us and we expected a well researched and cohesive storyline at least on par with a typical TV drama. This film was nowhere near as good as the dramas shown on television and less exciting and thought out than a typical Spooks episode. The storyline of the film lacked credibility and was disjointed often leaving me with a sense of frustration. The lead up to the essence of the film - the extinction of mankind through infertility - was not dealt with at all. There were scenes in the film which were ridiculous ... 30 seconds shot of a pair of sandals being put on etc etc. A number of scenes weren't credible at all and we generally felt little connection with the characters. We left the theatre with a sense of being conned by the postings of the early critics but now find reviews from 'real' people who appear to share our disappointment. Feel free to watch the film, perhaps on DVD, but it really isn't worth the money or your time to make a trip to the cinema!!
