Shocking

Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2011)

I've seen this movie a couple of times. It always shocks me. Not only is it based on an intense, vigorous plot but the acting is impeccable, the scenario makes it all look so realistic. The film clearly depicts the desperation and anarchy that would plague the world in an event of epic proportions such as a worldly disease, only that in this case, the malaise is infertility. People are getting older and the human race is less than a century away from extinction. It is no doubt a very crude, violent film. World economy collapses due to the disease and immigrants swamp the UK. In response, the army and police forces round them up in Gestapo fashion to be thrown into a slum-like ghetto next to the cost. A violent terrorist group attacks the government and civilians for no particular reason other than augmenting the present state of chaos. In this hostile, decaying environment, a solitary pregnant woman seeks help to flee from chaos into the hands of scientists who are struggling to find a cure for infertility.
