This aired on the SciFi channel last night, managed to catch most of it. Apparently the
reviews were very good upon it's initial release. The battle scenes are exciting.

Quote:
Children of Men is a 2006 British dystopian science fiction film co-written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón. The Strike Entertainment production was loosely adapted from P. D. James's 1992 novel of the same name by Cuarón and Timothy J. Sexton with help from David Arata, Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby. It stars Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, Pam Ferris, Claire-Hope Ashitey, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Michael Caine.

Set in the United Kingdom of 2027, the film explores a grim world in which two decades of global human infertility have left humanity with less than a century to survive. Societal collapse, terrorism, and environmental destruction accompany the impending extinction. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom—perhaps the last functioning government—persecutes a seemingly endless wave of illegal immigrant refugees seeking sanctuary. In the midst of this chaos, Theo Faron (Clive Owen) must find safe transit for Kee (Claire-Hope Ashitey), a pregnant African "fugee" (refugee).

The single-shot car scene was pretty cool, but I thought the movie was just average.

It's a brilliant film. Would take my best of the year for 2006, but unfortunately for it, that's the year of my all-time favorite film, so it gets shunted to the side. Still incredible. Cuarón's one of the best directors working today.

Hey, man, I like Talladega Nights: The Legend of Ricky Bobby as much as the next guy, but your all-time favorite film? Really?

Fantastic movie, I think it suffered because it didn't get enough press at the time.

It was okay. I really didn't like the ending.

I thought it was very good.

Spoiler:
Even if the scene itself could have been directed better, there was still something very poignant about when all the soldiers saw the baby being carried past them, and they all stopped fighting for that moment.

It was plain and average, from the hype I had expected better. Perhaps it would be striking to those never exposed to the genre.

Yup, that's us, a group of waifs naive of the science-fiction, post-apocalyptic, and social SF genres...
