Bizarrely convincing vision.

Rating: Null/10 (24 February 2007)

The year is 2027. Since 2009 the human race has no longer been able to procreate. A former activist (Clive Owen) meets up with an old flame (Julianne Moore) and involves himself in the activities of an underground movement that seeks to protect the first pregnant woman in 18 years to appear on the planet. This a bizarrely convincing tale that may be science fiction but in today's world of ever growing dangers and the threat of a possible all out global war unlike any other brewing, 'Children of Men' seems like it could not only happen but the fascism, terrorism, idealism and conflict contained within its frames makes for some of the most visionary work of the year.
