I went into Boston on Thursday to see the new movie "Children of Men," based on the 1992 book of the same name by P.D James. I was pleasantly surprised, one because the movie was so good, and two because there seem to be a lot of films coming out that are worth seeing. The past few years..... eh, not so much.

I haven't been able to get the plot out of my mind for the past few days, and there are few movies that can actually accomplish that. I was.... horrified beyond words, at a story of a world that has reached the end of it's rope.

"Children of Men" is a futuristic tale, set 20 years from now in the year 2027, where we live in a world in which women can no longer concieve. To break it down, we can't make babies anymore. And what does that lead to? That's right, the end of man kind. Of course I don't want to give it away. And I won't. So don't be afraid to read on...







Clive Owen, who plays a man named Theo, risks his life to protect a young woman. What's so special about her? Dun Dun DUN. She's pregnant.

Edge of your seat suspense, and brutal, horrifying imagery make this a movie not to be easily pushed aside. I'm morally against giving movies letter grades, but I will say this:

It's good. See it.

I WANT TO SEE IT!

That sounds awesome! That is the type of movie I would see. I love sci-fi, future, creepy movies. That's pretty much the type of movies I will make as well!

Sorry, haven't been watching TV, but has this movie been previewing? Cuase I haven't heard of it.

Yeah I was some thing about this film, the tile gives it all "Children of Men" but at first I thought it would some totally freaked out film. But now it looks very interesting. But still I’m probably too young to watch it.

The partabout sterile human race except for one person seems familiar. I think I saw a live action film similar, but cannot be certain. There is an anime about a world in which years have passed since the human race became sterile. 'Dolls' are everywhere, and though they are robots, adultsseem to cherish them just as much as real children. But one of them really is a child. This is Avenger (Netflix page).

When the authorities learn that one child exists, they (of different cities) all begin searching for her. But she has a protector, who is out to destroy the corrupt government as well as defend the child. I finished watching the series a week ago, & it is quite good.

They've only recently started showing previews, previously it was only in select theaters.

I'll have a look on YouTube.
