Really made me stop and think

Rating: 7/10 (4 February 2019)

This is not one of my favourite movies by a long shot but it really did make me stop and think. It was powerful and unsettling, at times quite shocking. At times it was so very relevant to what is happening in our world today. You know when you can quite stop thinking about a movie, well this is how I feel. The plot is a simple one, life where there is no fertility and the oldest person is 18 and people just seem to have given up, descended into chaos and lost all humanity. The lead Owens is great as Theo, the reluctant hero. Before I started watching I thought he was going to be the action hero type but he is simply just a normal guy, depressed, grieving and just not really sure what's the point. The cinematography is outstanding. It really is just gripping without being a ten out of ten movie. It kind of gives you a bit of hope in a bleak way, that in some there is still humanity and compassion. Watch it and just pause a moment after to reflect.
