Children of Men – Awful
OK, I won’t give away the story here, but I was as unimpressed as I could have been. Finally a movie comes along with a slightly unique idea and this gets passed aside as an afterthought while guns and chaos are in the forefront. The story of the world where women have stopped being capable of child birth ends up clumsily falling into an admittedly scenic version of Mad Max, ruining any sense of depth into the souls of the characters who inhabit an earth where procreation is indefinitely suspended. A lot of people I have talked to enjoyed this movie, I felt that it was a colossal waste of time. This stars Clive Owen who was fantastic in “Closer” and Julianne Moore. Judge for yourself. This is based on the book by PD James.
