brains of children

Rating: 1/10 (30 January 2008)

There is nothing worth saying about this movie except don't watch it. If you are looking for a somewhat political sci-fi movie set in the future rent Brazil. Brazil is a GREAT movie. Children of Men is a TERRIBLE movie. Hope that comparison helps somehow.
Maybe I'm being a bit hard on this film. I mean it would have been good if they had just included things like a plot, the slightest bit of cleverness/irony/thought in their political references, or even just something a little bit more entertaining than an old hippie hooked on strawberry cough weed. They should have just thrown in a good knock knock joke somewhere so we could of at least had a giggle, although I suppose coming up with a knock knock joke would have required 3 to 4 times the amount of thought that went in to making this entire film.
No, I'm not being hard on it. The movie sucked.
