chilling film

The plot was awesome, the suspense was intense, the acting was flawless, but what sets this film apart from others is that this movie has, without a doubt, the BEST cinematography i've ever seen. If it doesnt win at least the Oscar for cinematography this year, they'd be robbed.

Nearly all the edge-of-seat suspensful scenes (and this movie has a lot of them) are shot in one conti... read more

Alfonso Cuaron shows us in this film that he is the master of long takes, and few cuts. Brilliantly cinematographed and directed, with a most excellent cast, this is a wonderful film. The bonus feature is something I rarely watch, but everyone will be curious to watch the production of one particular scene involving Kee's character, played by new actress Claire-Hope Ashitey. This is definitely THE... read more

This film seemed to be released with very little fanfare across the UK and I was apprehensive about seeing it at first. I thought it would be just another film about totalitarian carnage, fresh off the back of V for Vendetta. However, this film isn't generic at all. It's utterly chilling and particularly close to home when you live so close to some of the locations in the film.

Description: With its almost relentlessly bleak perspective of the future, Alfonso Cuarón's film doesn't make for pleasant viewing. But it's an exhilarating experience because the picture is an incredible dystopian drama that lacks all of the typical trappings of the genre. Set uncomfortably close to the present, it paints a frighteningly realist ... (more)

"It expanded to wide release on January 5th, 2007, a weekend where the only opening competition Code Name: The Cleaner, Freedom Writers, and Happily N'Ever After. But this is a case where a couple of strong hold-overs continued to impress. Night at the Museum won the weekend with about $24mil, and The Pursuit of Happiness finishing in second with $12mil. This left Children of Men to third with $10mil. I guess around the holidays, people don't want to watch films about bleak, dystopian futures. T"

" The Plot:With its almost relentlessly bleak perspective of the future, Alfonso Cuarón's film doesn't make for pleasant viewing. But it's an exhilarating experience because the picture is an incredible dystopian drama that lacks all of the typical trappings of the genre. Set uncomfortably close to the present, it paints a frighteningly realistic picture of the future. In 2027, every woman on earth is infertile. With the loss of their ability to have children, the world has also lost hope. "
