Highly Realistic & Highly Entertaining.

Children of men is a movie that would surprise anyone who appreciate perfection when seeing it, i don't know why nobody recommend it to me, after Gravity blown up, i decided to follow Alfonso Cuarón previous work and i end up here, and i'm glad i did, it was brilliant movie from start to finish.

Set in the far future, it's a tale of a chaotic world where human no longer have the ability to procreate, and the youngest man ever to live is 18 years old, and it's gotta be the most realistic expectation of the future ever to put on a film, because you know what, fuck technology that most movies focus about, the earth is dying and people are changing to the worse everyday, and this movie baldly shows a possibility of what could actually happen, a world with repels and conflicts, a world were government collapsed and no longer have the ability to control anything, major cities have fallen down and destroyed due to armed conflicts and the only one standing is London when this movie happens.

The movie have one of the best opening scenes i have ever seen, an explosion that looked so real, it's disturbing, with Clive Owen in a leading role, the movie follow this man as he travel to his friends house Jasper (played by Michael Caine) where he likes to stay out of the city, and his ex-wife Julian is the leader of a rebel group, who just found a pregnant women, and they're trying whatever necessary to keep her alive until the baby is delivered, so theo takes the role of protecting her escaping the armed conflicts.

Children of men shows you what people would do to gain control after the government falls, it shows you what people are willing to do just to survive, and it was filled with so many hidden messages, that it's still blow my mind every-time.

The movie employs the cinematography in a mind-blowing way, that everything seemed so realistic, it's like they created an entire city just to make a movie, and the conflicts were fascinating, i mean, i haven't watched conflicts this realistic since Black Hawk Down and that movie was beautiful.

Although, the movie had a dark tale, it's still shows you a hope within a deep desperation and many, many messages that need a second watch to fully appreciate.

Overall, it was mind-blowing movie from start to finish, and i'm also gonna go out on a limb here and say that this movie is better than Gravity by miles, fuck the mainstream standards.

7/10
