Children of men needs a spanking.

Rating: 3/10 (16 January 2007)

I went to see this movie because of all the high ratings it was getting on IMDb. I was not impressed and am not sure why it's getting such high ratings.
First off this is set in 2027 so you'd think they had not killed off all the scientist and we'd at least have some idea as to why women suddenly became infertile. Gamma rays from a nearby exploding super nova or some disease or something. Instead we are told that no one understands why it happened. Not even a clue as to why it might be occurring. The best reason we are given is when someone is speculating it's some sort of punishment from God.
There is also little to no explanation as to why everyone is fighting or why all foreigners are being deported from England. You'd think that if no children were being born life would become more precious.
I also found it a little implausible there would be a hippie hanging out in the woods. He would have had to have been a very young hippie back in the early 60's.
The movie does have it's moments of interest but for the most part there are just a lot of car chases and killing. I did like Julianne Moore's character but then she's killed off way to early in the movie. The rest of the movie is just Theo trying to get Kee to a boat that may or may not exist. There is seemingly no emotional attachment between the to characters. She doesn't even know who the father is and apparently Theo doesn't stick around to help out in that aspect.
Overall, I would have to not put this movie on my list of ones to see but then since enough people disagree with me, perhaps you should see it for yourself.
