Children Of Men - Review 4/5
Tags: children of men, clive owen
Imagine the youngest human was
no more than 18 years old. Infertility plagues the earth. No one
knows the answer. The world is divided by chaos, supremest and
refugees fleeing their country in the millions in a post plagued
pandemic world.
It doesn't sound that far fetched does it? Based in 2027 Children of men attempts to give us a glimpse into the world of Great Britain. The story of a Fugi (a fugitive woman) who is the first pregnant women in 18 years, fighting for her life to show the world the first new born, to give them all hope for the future. But several groups attempt to claim the baby for themselves, as fuel for an uprising.
Clive Owen plays "Theo" a drunk, washed up gambler, with the passion for life lost, when the death of his son Dillon by the plague, ruins his marriage with Julian ( played by Jullianne Moore).
Action packed, intense ride through twists and paranoia in a post pandemic world.
The only reason this isn't a 5/5 is because I felt the camera work, and cinematography could have been a bit better. Although some of the action scenes are curve balls.
