Almos all good

Rating: 8/10 (11 June 2017)

Children of Men is set in the year 2027 where women have become infertile so no baby's are being born and the human race is going to die out. There were parts of Children of Men that are incredible. The premise, most of the acting and some action scenes that have you on edge make this film great. This film uses lots of long takes that were at times very impressive and at time you didn't even notice it. What I really liked was that the main character, who was played by Clive Owen, could have been a hero who would save the world from this dystopian future, but instead he was written as an every man who was very relatable which made the movie much better. The fight scenes were also done extremely well, there's one in a car that looks like its all in one take and is absolutely breathtaking. Children of Men takes lots of inspiration from dystopian fiction like 1984 and Blade Runner and has parts that feel like they could fit into either of those story's as well as the tone being very similar.
Children of Men does almost everything right. There are just some slip ups in the story. There's one part in the middle of the film that didn't feel as realistic as the other parts and some characters made decisions that were a bit stupid. That only really happened for a bit and then i started to get completely sucked into the story again
If your a fan of dystopian future then you'll love Children of Men and also if you just like really good movies, just keep in mind that it's not perfect.
