Children of Men (2006)

Cast: Clive Owen (Theo Faron), Julianne Moore (Julian Taylor), Michael Caine (Jasper Palmer), Chiwetel Ejiofor (Luke), Claire-Hope Ashitey (Kee)
For complete info, see IMDb's Children of Men page.

This movie was interesting, but seemed to leave gaps in the story a bit too much. The acting is wonderful, the costumes and sets are great, but at times the story meanders along with no clear purpose.

Children of Men takes place in 2027 in a world where humans can no longer reproduce. Most of the movie centers around the one pregnant woman trying to get to the "Human Project," which many think is only a myth. The concept was definitely interesting, though the opinions of those trying to stop Kee's plans to get to the "Human Project" weren't thoroughly explained.

This dark movie is hardly a thriller (which is where Netflix classified it), but it is an interesting drama set in a dark not-so-distant future. It's definitely worth renting if you missed it in a theatre.

Grade: B+
