This movie takes place in 2027 in an alternate reality where mankind has been plagued with infertility. No child has been born for
over 18 years and the world has turned to chaos. Britain formed a militaristic government and became (apparently) the only country that has kept order.
The story follows a disillusioned government agent called Theo Faron, who is given a task by his former lover. He is to escort a woman – who has somehow become pregnant – out of Britain. Theo soon discovers a conspiracy, and his mission becomes more urgent than ever.
The style of this movie reminded me of “District 9” and “The Road,” but I think “Children of Men” feels more raw and realistic than either of those. The film uses great cinematography, great acting and long scenes without any cuts to pull viewers into a world that has fallen apart.
Bottom Line – there is nothing bad that I can say about this movie, it is probably the best dystopia film I have ever seen. I would recommend it to anyone 15 and above, I give it a 10/10.
