Synopsis

Children of Men
Y Tu Mamá También and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban director Alfonso Cuarón returns to the helm to tell this futuristic tale in which society is without hope since humankind lost its ability to procreate. The year is 2027, and women can no longer give birth. The youngest inhabitant of the planet has just died at the age of 18, and all hope for humanity has been lost. As civilization descends into chaos, a dying world finds one last chance for survival in the form of a woman who has become inexplicably pregnant. Now, as warring nationalistic sects clash and British leaders try to maintain their totalitarian stronghold on the country, a disillusioned bureaucrat (Clive Owen) is brought back into the fold of activism by his guerrilla ex-wife (Julianne Moore). Reluctantly, he takes on the daunting task of escorting Kee (Claire-Hope Ashitey), the refugee who represents humankind's last hope for survival, out of harm's way and into the care of a mysterious organization known as The Human Project. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Charlie Hunnam, and Michael Caine co-star in this adaptation of author P.D. James's gripping 1992 novel. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A must own for Sci Fi lovers and great acting!
January 5, 2011
This movie is one the best Sci Fi's I've seen in years. The story, acting, directing and cinematagraphy is wonderful. The story really builds up and doesn't let go. There's one scene that is shot continuously for at least five minutes during a chase/shooting scene. It really is amazing. Blu-ray really looks good and the sound is nice. A must have.

One of the best movies out there
July 26, 2017
This movie completely exceeded all expectations I had for the film! This movie is a dystopian film that completely blew me away. Highly recommend it. Do not watch if your easily offended by foul language, gun violence, or brief female nudity.

great movie Posted by: OrGaNiX from: on first i should say, if you liked this movie in theaters then go out and buy this on HDdvd you won't be disappointed. all the great sound and video quality you would expect are here, but the video may not immediately blow you away. because the palette of this film is so dark, many scenes don't pop they way they would in other movies. not a con really, just letting you know what you're getting. for get that "wow" factor associated with HD, pause on just about any scene. you can see pores in skin, the weave of fabric etc. good quality digital transfer, you're losing nothing here. if you liked it, buy it.
