Especially in the power of seeing the baby in the middle of a battle where everyone stops and sees that little thing.<br /><br />And then... the fighting commences.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-7850058434782134532012-05-04T10:14:57.453-07:002012-05-04T10:14:57.453-07:00Great review.

I really love this movie and it's one of the examples I always point to when I am explaining to someone the difference between "sci-fi" and "science fiction". Children of Men is the latter.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-157420678897973532012-05-03T14:00:59.047-07:002012-05-03T14:00:59.047-07:00@Dan-Thank you.

We just need to put in some effort.<br /><br />@Sati-It's pretty much one of the best dystopian films ever made. I think it just kept getting better towards the end because of the stakes that is happening.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-21618017077284556612012-05-03T06:12:44.674-07:002012-05-03T06:12:44.674-07:00What I love about this film is that it changes one...What I love about this film is that it changes one element - the ability to give life - from our universe and it believably shows what would happen - it's pretty much the same world, only bleaker, darker and hopeless. It's really a great film, though I found the last act to be dragging a little.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-26544215889474989152012-05-03T03:58:17.046-07:002012-05-03T03:58:17.046-07:00Definitely one of the best post-apocalyptic movies...Definitely one of the best post-apocalyptic movies of all-time because the look and feel of this movie. It's s dreadful and you feel like this world is slowly dying right in front of our eyes and it's so damn depressing, but it works and makes you think: could this ever happen?
