Children of Men

Powered by Gregarious (42)

I don’t know where to begin. This movie was very strange. The movie is based on a world where women can for some UNEXPLAINED reason cannot have children. There are “terrorist” groups that supposedly support the cause of finding fertile women, yet bomb people and kill people for no apparent reason.  I had a hard time understanding this movie because they never told you why women couldn’t have children anymore and why when a woman from Fiji was impregnated she had to hide from everyone.   Then, they went into some kind of prison for immigrants to get to this boat that was going to give this pregnant woman freedom and it reminded me of saving private ryan.  Wall to wall combat graffiti on the walls tanks etc.  By the end of the movie you still didn’t know why women couldn’t have children except this woman from Fiji and all of the stars and main characters that you decided to watch the movie because of are dead.

They were onto a good idea with this movie, but went the WRONG way.  I think it was a waste of my time and money to go and see this one simply because none of it made sense.  The action parts were good, but it was mainly because of the story line that this movie turned out so poorly.

    Yeah. From the previous and the stuff I’d heard on KNX talk radio in the morning I really thought that this would be a good movie, but I was actually pretty disappointed, though I think the concept behind the plot was really cool, I think the execution itself was pretty poor. I’m disappointed to be honest because I actually had really high hopes for this movie. Guess We’ll just have to go see Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan next time.
