Children of Men

Rating: Null/10 (2 April 2013)

A good premise and a decent execution.
Children of Men sometimes feels too much like another Hollywood flick, what with its blazing guns and flat characters. It is not lacking stereotypes. The worst offender is the overly tangled plot, hampered by moments of outrageous fantasy.
However, some great moments made up for the shambles. In the background we see London 2027, a dystopia with flashes of technological wonder, recalling Blade Runner. A standout was the virtual Rubik's cube that Theo's nephew solves at the table.
Overall, a reasonably watchable sci-fi thriller.
