A visionary masterpiece!

Rating: Null/10 (17 February 2016)

Watching this movie ten years after it was released, i got the feeling of watching a current documentary of what is now going on right in Europe: Third world immigrants invading the biggest cities in Europe by the thousands? check. Countries around the world with failing governments being ruled by militias and chaos? Check. UK being controlled by a militarized police state? check. European cities suffering never-ending random terrorist attacks? Check.
Very few other movies have managed to predict the present of our troubled world with such accuracy .
One of the few things this movie purposely or accidentally failed to predict is the real reason why world is in such a state of chaos, namely the war that the American neocons and the NATO puppets are currently waging against Russia, Syria, Iran, etc. No fertility crisis was needed to create such a dystopia around the world. Another thing that this movie got wrong is that in the real world most Europeans are against (and protesting) the invasion of their countries by "refugees" or "fugees" are they are called in the movie, As as consequence of this, protesting European citizens are now being arrested by the militarized police state for opposing the European banker's"multicultural" agenda.
The aesthetic decision to create a sci-fi movie with documentary-style production was brilliant. Couple this with top-notch acting, great direction and story telling and you have a brilliant piece of visionary film-making. The movie's now famous car scene has already entered the canon of cinema's great long one-take wonder sequences.
I have to laugh at all the geniuses that 10 years ago gave this movie one-star ratings, mocking the plot and premise of this movie as "implausible" and nonsensical. Unfortunately, reality has proved all those who (for whatever reason) didn't understand this movie, wrong.
Children of men was way ahead of its time, and clear proof of this, is that today, ten years later, even network TV and game companies have jumped in the "conspiracy theory" and dystopia bandwagon with countless TV series and games about citizens resisting the police state, etc.
Children of men is easily the best science fiction movie of the 21st century, pushing the technical boundaries of science fiction film making; standing way above the current wave of Hollywood tired and brainless superhero and never-ending sequel crap movies.
