Mov Rev: Children of Men

I really liked this film, the ideas behind it are very close to a short story I wrote, so I obviously find the subject matter interesting. I thought the storyline was good, interesting characters played well by a mixture of well known and new faces, the action scenes are very intense with some great effects and camera work. The whole thing is very gritty which I liked and all the clever futuristic gadgets and news clips all seem very plausible and add icing to the cake. Michael Caine is excellent (as usual) and Clive Owen is definitely growing on me, though not enough yet to forgive him for the dire King Arthur.

8 out of 9

Better than King Arthur, not as good as living in a world without all those annoying children.
