Children of Men
Children of Men is quite stunning. Watch and learn, Hollywood, this is how to engage an audience.
Children of Men is a revelation. Whilst lacking a little in cohesiveness, it more than makes up for it with some quite unbelievably real sequences. If you at all appreciate the craft of making movies, go and see Children of Men. I enjoyed this film: I think the average moviegoer will enjoy it: Testosterone Satisfaction Rating: - very real gunplay and battlefield action, non-erotic boobs from Claire-Hope Ashitey. To enjoy this film you should: appreciate movies.

The director of Children Of Men (the same guy who did the 2nd Harry Potter movie) Alfonso Cuaron has managed to take PD James' book and give the audience a surprisingly realistic view of what life might be like in 2027, the film is not only a window into the possible future but a fantastic thriller as well that keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the film.

Set in 2027, a time when women have been mysteriously infertile for the past 18 years, Clive Owen becomes embroiled with
a group who can potentially save the species from extinction. To be honest, if you sit down and think about the plot,
there are several holes and loose ends left unexplained, but none of that matters because of the amazing quality with which
it's brought to life on screen. The cinematography is defined by a series of long continuous action sequences, which are
literally breathtaking in their realisation. One early scene features a motorbike chasing a car - the action is viewed from
inside the car, with the camera rotating to show all four occupants as appropriate (with seemingly no room left for a
camera!), all the while with the motorbike chasing, shooting, crashing, all happening in one seamless shot. Even this,
though, is blown into the weeds by an epic sequence later in the movie, set in a warzone, with tanks, rockets, buildings
exploding everywhere - again, this is all one shot, following Owen into and out of the besieged building, all the while
surrounded by realistic pyrotechnics and a cast of fifty plus. I've never seen anything like it - quite astonishing.
Director Alfonso Cuaron is probably best known for directing Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, but he's also
responsible for the Spanish movie Y Tu Mama Tambien, a very highly regarded and most enjoyable piece of foreign cinema.
With Children of Men, he proves he's a world class talent and one of the few directors who can use a budget wisely.
There are special effects employed, but they're beautifully subtle - so much so that on the face of it you'd never spot
them as effects. We're "treated" to a shot of a baby being born - and again, I've never seen it done so authentically,
visually at least. The result is so good that I genuinely don't know whether this scene employed CGI or physical models.
It's tough, then, to see it languishing in the charts in the same region as dross like
