big disappointment

Rating: 1/10 (31 October 2006)

I saw "Children of men" yesterday and it was a big disappointment for me. I heard several of my friends say, that it is a great movie and i should definitely see it.
I always liked Clive Owen, and i still think he is a great actor, but in " Children of men" he s really bad like all the other actors. They are fake, and you don t believe them.
Then I liked the idea of a "post-apocaliptic" future although thats nothing new nowadays, it seems to be quite modern. The story in the movie is very boring i think.( Woman' s really special, so man has to protect woman.) A little easy i think.
Technicly i have to admit that i have never seen some thing like that, there are several sequence shots, they are very good. I also like hand-camera, but in this film it is too much, much too shaky and used to often in my opinion.
All in all i think that it is a bad movie with a big budget, so u see nice sequences, nice pictures, but the actors are not as good as they could have been and the story is a too easy for me.
In case u see the movie anyway, don t get blended by the image or the sequence shots....
