I didn't like it

Rating: 3/10 (20 November 2006)

The idea was great the execution weeeeeeeeeeell not so much :-( Between now and 2026 there's such short period of time that it is very unlikely that anything even close to what is depicted in the movie would happen. Also not much has been said on how the situation evolved into being a war between immigrants and .... who is on the other side British citizens or the government? Who is the leader, is there still democracy or - human rights hardly exist. What is that? Is is Britain or Guantanamo? Infertility affecting all, Hmmm that is interesting but how is that gonna happen.
I also lol'ed at the German immigrants in the caged areas. Is it a shout out to Germany in any way?
For me the movie was too shallow tapping on certain issues (immigration, racism, Muslim -Christian conflict) without providing the audience with some depth and a glimpse of the multilayered problems - and points of views - that are behind.
Ultimately it came down to good guys and bad guys (even if you could argue that the bad guys meant good). Cliwe Owen looks good but there's nothing else in it. My all time favourite actor Michael Caine is sadly not given anything to show. I hope that when he receives his lifetime achievement awards here and there the Pull my finger line (it wasn't even funny)will not be included in the short movie summing up his highs.
