child of..?

Rating: 1/10 (8 March 2008)

I have to say this movie really was a big disappointment to me. The movie had high ratings and someone recommended it to me. I was very curious about the idea of massive world wide infertility. The plot, the acting and all the lose ends combined with the non-ending end made this movie deserve not more than a 0.
Okay so mankind is almost extinct and the whole world has become crazy. So what happened? only one word said in the movie: "The Flue". That didn't explain the weird hippie like behaviour of the immigrants and why they where fighting. That means that no one knows what caused this problem and the world needs saving. Then the miracle happened; a child is born! So now what? Well if you have mother, father and child and you immediately start figuring out how and why this child is born there might be a chance that A This is just a coincidence B neither the mother nor the child have the answer, but the father of the child or his grandparents have the answer C the child and/or mother have some magic blood and the world is saved. What if the father has the answer? No one knows who he is. So why children of men as a title and not child of unknown man? I admit the action was not very bad, but the acting was. The end was unsatisfying and meaningless. I rather saw the world end than not knowing anything about our future.
