Movie #106 - Children of Men

Children of Men
Universal Pictures
2006 - Rated R - 1 hr 49 min
Director: Alfonso Cuaron
Starring: Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, Michael Caine

Here's a bleak futuristic movie for you... yikes.  Although I admit upfront that this one is disturbing and tough to imagine (but probably not that unlikely), it's still one that I really do enjoy.  No babies at all, not for 18 years.  Wow.

And then a chick gets pregnant, has no idea what that's all about, and all hell breaks loose.  Lots of people die for this little baby too... it really puts the fragility of the human race into perspective, you know?  It's dark, it's sad, but it's just soooo good.  And don't even get me started on Clive Owen, who is seven flavors of awesome in this movie.

Just watch it, seriously.  This one will make you think.

  1. This one makes a great double feature with "Blade Runner" they both have a very similar general tone.
