A great movie

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2006)

I did not expect too much when I was about to see this movie, hadn't heard anything about it really. I didn't even know it was based on a book by P.D. James, an author I like but I didn't read this book (yet). Well, I was surprised - it is an excellent movie, really. There are good actors, quite a few of them are totally unknown to me but I consider that more of an advantage. Seems a bit strange this movie hasn't received more PR - its not a low budget SF movie. The story is good and you really don't need to focus on what it was that made the world go unfertile, if you do that you kinda miss out the point of this movie. For me personally it was a totally convincing picture of how wrong things could go... if you take in the aspect of what humans are willing to do against other humans. The only reason I don't give the movie a higher rating is the ending. Sure it might get you thinking about things but I'd like to have known what happened to the girl and her baby...
