Children of Men

Based upon a top selling novel about the future where women stopped bearing children until a discovery of a refugee being pregnant. The government tries to stop this woman from being discovered since she is a refugee but there are others that want to keep her safe. I thought it was pretty much a better than average movie but there was a few scenes where the war scene was pretty gritty and spectacular, to say the least. It was as if I was watching CNN with live coverage of a war in progress. Now that's a compliment. Great special effects. There was a few humourous scenes involving Michael Caine as a hippy but the overall feel of the movie was of frustration, doom, and despair. 8/10
