Children Of Men A Disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (1 October 2006)

Having read many RAVE reviews i have to say this film was a real disappointment.The story itself is a really good idea and as a book i can see how brilliant it must read,but as i hadn't read the book the film was incredibly distorted and not very explanatory.I would have liked to learn more about the lead characters,their history,and the history of what brought the world to this standstill and the women infertility.Being a fan of both Clive Owen and Julianne Moore i felt that these roles were undervaluing their acting abilities.All Clive's character seemed to do was run and hide and make the odd joke,and we barley had time to get to know julianne's character other than the fact that they had obviously been an item and had had a child together.
