Children of Men (R) 7.5

Children of Men (2006): In 2027, in a chaotic world in which humans can no longer procreate, a former activist agrees to help transport a miraculously pregnant woman to a sanctuary at sea, where her child's birth may help scientists save the future of humankind. (8.0)

Director: Alfonso Cuarón
Writers: Alfonso Cuarón (screenplay), Timothy J. Sexton (screenplay), P.D. James (novel)
Stars: Julianne Moore, Clive Owen and Chiwetel Ejiofor

This very well made movie depicts a futuristic dystopia where the civilization is collapsing from within. Acting is superb and the sets, scenes, and the staging is well crafted. The dialog could have included a bit more about people's mindset about being the last generation on earth. The story is grim and violent but offers a ray of hope. My Rating: 7.5
