Wow this movie blew both Frank and I away. It was VISUALLY stunning and the music score was excellent. One of the most original movies I have ever seen. Absolutely breathtaking action sequences. Clive Owen was brilliant.

Plot summary:  In the year 2027, the world is in chaos, and childlessness is the human condition. The world's youngest citizen has just died at 18, and humankind is facing the likelihood of its own extinction. Set against a backdrop of London torn apart by violence and warring nationalistic sects, Children of Men follows an unlikely champion of Earth's survival: Theo (Clive Owen), a disillusioned ex-activist turned bureaucrat, who is forced to face his own demons and protect the planet's last remaining hope.

Children of Men was bleak, depressing, contained some dark humour. We were impressed with how "dark" the movie remained throughout.  Too often in Hollywood movies follow a typical "formula." Children of Men choose not to follow the typical formula making it even more original and interesting to watch. No lead male and lead female falling in love, no sex whilst in a dangerous situation, no shying away from what's obviously uncomfortable film matter, etc.

A very memorable movie that will likely not be forgotten anytime soon. It is deserving of some Oscar nods.
