Children of Men

Children of Men

2006

Alfonso Cuaron directs this film version of P.D. James's classic dystopian novel (and Oscar nominee for Best Adapted Screenplay), a futuristic drama set in a world in which humans have lost the ability to reproduce and subsequently face certain extinction. Things change when a single woman mysteriously becomes pregnant, prompting a conflicted government bureaucrat (Clive Owen) and his ex-wife (Julianne Moore) to join forces to protect her. Michael Caine co-stars.

No children. No future. No hope.

User Reviews

  • An excellent Sci-Fi film about the not too distant future. A definite must see film. Clive Owen is excellent, and Alfonso Cuaron is in top form.
