It's a gripping movie with a message. But then, I'm biased towards sci-fi movies of the Dystopia variety and watch these types of movies of the few movies I do watch.

I've really gone off anything that is too much based in reality....I think we see so much this every day. Although your description does intrigue me....

I needed something serious, real, and gritty after all that sugary cuteness :) I know what you mean about seeing to much of this in reality. Children of Men is difficult to watch. You worry for Theo and Kee the whole time, wondering if they'll make it to their destination. It seems that no one can be trusted, and those who do help them are punished. It seems bleak and depressing. But the message that rings throughout the movie is that there's hope for mankind, even if it's just a small glimmer of it. There's a really powerful scene near the end where for a brief moment, there is peace between soldiers and rebels, when both sides whose purpose in life is to kill each other are united at that one moment. It's amazing. Tonz- Before Children of Men, I had watched two children’s movies (Happy Feet and Charlotte’s Web), and a musical (Dreamgirls).
