Quote:

No Children. No Future. No Hope.

The Children of Men envisages a world one generation from now that has fallen into anarchy on the heels of an infertility defect in the population. The world's youngest citizen has just died at 18, and humankind is facing the likelihood of its own extinction

Set against a backdrop of London torn apart by violence and warring nationalistic sects, Children of Men follows disillusioned bureaucrat Theo (Clive Own) as he becomes an unlikely champion of Earth's survival. When the planet's last remaining hope is threatened, this reluctant activist is forced to face his own demons and protect her from certain peril.

Just saw the trailer and it was unbelievable.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Pollution, genetic experiences, maybe a nuke exploded in the atmosphere and the radiation rotted their wombs, it doesnt' really matter the exact specific reason but I just took it as a general statement of the direction the world is going right now. How most totally disregard environmental issues and continually abuse the boundries of the human body in their efforts to play God. Eventually mankind will reap what they sow because it is said that it wasn't a random biological freak of nature women can't reproduce anymore, it was an external source that corrupted the natural order of things. Besides the movie is sci-fi and someone correct me if I'm wrong but don't a good chunk of sci-fi films take today's problems and turn them into tomorrow's catastrophes?

And people are hating because the end of the world is nigh. Also not to be a sap but this movie seemed to be all about hope rather than a sentiment that they're all going to die and there's nothing they can do about it.

Oh yeah did I mention Children of Men was a book? Well it is, and it probably explains the theory better than the movie would (which will innevitably have more bangbangboomfireguninfacerandomsexscene than the novel)

There's nowhere I can't reach.
