Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2013)

My experience with this film was the most high level of reality. From start to finish it is adrenaline and pure excitement. "Children of Men" is the definitive extremely realistic experience of a sci-fi movie.
The story begins with Theo Faron (Clive Owen) a journalist who lives in a near future in the year of 2027. A future where pregnancy in women's no longer exists. Theo lives in a chaotic and dangerous London where there is an insane persecution against illegal immigrants, placing them in "concentration camps". Theo walking in another normal day, he is suddenly captured by masked men and taken by a van. Theo wakes up and finds himself captured by his beautiful ex-wife Julian (Julianne Moore) who is wanted for terrorism because she works with the "Fishers" one rebel militia who fights against the government, helping immigrants. Julian says she needs Theo's help arranging passes out of the country for a young black woman, receiving 5000 pounds in return. Theo through some powerful contacts get the passes and makes a date with Julian and the young woman to deliver the passes. On another day like any other, Theo awakens, go attend a race of dogs and meets with Julian on a bus. From there, Theo and Julian head to a car and deliver the passes for the young and promises to help carrying her to a farm on the border of the country. During the trip, everyone laugh and have fun, suddenly appears a burning car in the middle of the road blocking the way and an army of hungry thugs starts attacking their car. During the attack Julian gets shot in the neck and dies. Later they manage to arrive on the farm. When Theo is ready to go back to London, he is called by the young Kee (Clare-Hope Ashitey) who wants to show you her secret, a secret that can save the world, she is pregnant. Now Theo is in the middle of a civil war and the only hope of the life of humanity.
The idea of the story is excellent, and the way that Alfonso Cuarón (director-writer) and four writers, explore it in a tremendous reality and at the same time with elements of futuristic sci-fi giving a fantastic delivery. Along with moments that can be funny and entertaining with normal language and released as of today, alongside with strong emotional charges extremely strong that the audience faces throughout the film.
But the technical aspects of the film are AWESOME. We are faced with a real huge production, giving us scenarios, places and landscapes frighteningly huge and realistic. And the direction of Cuarón is breathtaking. It literally puts the viewer in each scene, increasing the tension and suspense with every minute that passes, and the concern for the fate of the characters becomes really personal.
One of the best sci-fi ever made, a direction and writing extremely superb, excellent performances (especially by Clive, fantastic as always), a future.... that I really expect that doesn't happen.
