Children of Men
Did I tell you to watch Children of Men? Well yes I did, in my recommended box, but you probably don't read that, anyway I'll say it again.
It's a fantastic sci-fi flick, portraying a dark dystopian United Kingdom anno 2027, in a world where women are barren - they can't have babies.
It stars Clive Owen in the lead, who is such an excellent actor, and Michael Caine and Julian Moore supporting.
The cinematography is superb, such beautiful shots and so much care for the details (like making a shot look just like the cover of Pink Floyd's Animals album, complete with pig and chimneys!). Besides that the story is very exciting (based on a novel by P.D. James), and the effects magnificent.
I would describe it as a mix of A Clockwork Orange, V for Vendetta and The Golden Child (!).
Praise praise praise
Go see it, or get it somehow...
