Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (22 January 2007)

I thought CHILDREN OF MEN was slightly disappointing, great idea for a story and brilliant acting, but somehow this film just lacked something that I can't quite put my finger on. The birth scene looked very realistic which impressed me, but the film did get off to be a bit of a slow start! I rented the film out because I had heard so many fantastic reviews about it all saying it was a must-see, don't believe the hype! This filmed seemed more of an Action film rather than a Sci-Fi movie, lots of shooting and guns which bored me a little bit, but was very effective! Also, the ending was very sudden and thought it could have shown more! Overall, I thought CHILDREN OF MEN was an okay film with some a great cast, and a great story, but just didn't really impress me that much. 4/10.
