A greatly enjoyable and beautiful dystopian picture.

Rating: 9/10 (8 August 2016)

Children of Men presents a concept heavy yet very believable dystopian future, women are no longer fertile and the world is falling apart.
The film's atmosphere is established straight away, beautiful cinematography and camera-work strings together some of the best sequences I've seen, a few long shots are astounding and very memorable.
My only minor issue with Children of Men is a few instances of hammy dialogue, while it doesn't subtract much from the film it can be distracting to hear a couple of bad line deliveries.
Other than that I have no real other quarrels, the plot is paced brilliantly and everything works like a well oiled machine, perhaps more could have been explored but it may have bogged down the film in exposition. Overall, Children of Men is well up there as one of the best, if not the best, dystopian films of all time.
