Children of Men: One of the 2000's Most Underrated Movies.

Rating: 9/10 (7 May 2017)

I remember watching this cult-classic YEARS ago on DVD with my best- friend; we were having a sleepover at his place and we watched this movie on his MacBook Pro. And this was remarkable; in every sense of the word! Children of Men looks at what would happen if humanity ceased to reproduce: but suddenly there's ONE woman in the whole of the UK who's pregnant with the first child conceived in years. It's a fantastic premise for a dystopian sci-fi movie and it delivers with the grittiness, the somber tone, and Clive Owen's remarkable lead performance. Children of Men is not your typical alien-invasion sci- fi; it's a grounded affair into what happens when society is on the brink of total collapse, and then there's the smallest yet biggest glimmer of hope: a soon-to-be-born child.
Why was this a flop at the box office? I have no f###ing idea why, but it deserved a WHOLE LOT MORE than it initially grossed.
Anyway: Children of Men is one of my favourite sci-fi movies!
