It's OK

Rating: 5/10 (23 September 2006)

This film, basically, is alright. It's not great - but it's not awful either. As an actual film, it lags out a bit, at some points it sort of feels like it doesn't know where to go. As a concept though? It's amazing. What would happen if we were suddenly unable to have children? That's the positive of this film - it really makes you think about how the world would go into complete havoc if there were no more children to make the future. Clive Owen's character Theo doesn't seem like a hero, but he pulls it off - and seems genuine. One thing that I really did like about this film is that they didn't make it too modern. Normally if films are set in the future - even if they're only about 20 years in the future, everything will be stupidly modern. Everything will be clean and full of mind-blowing technology. This film however, keeps the British roots, and keeps it real. I think the biggest technological improvement was moving adverts on buses instead of still ones. It may sound odd - but it's nice to see that for once, a film that is set in the future isn't using fake technology to make it seem like it's set in 2027. This film is OK, it's not brilliant, and can be boring at times. But it will definitely make your mind boggle as to what would happen if there was no children for the future. 5 out of 10
