Children of Men is set in 2027 and the human race is about to face extinction. The movie came out in 2006 and was directed by Alfonso Cuaron, the director of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, he has done a great job of making the world look like its lost all hope. The movie is set in England, it begins when the worlds youngest person who is 18, is killed and the world is in grief. the story of the movie is that for the past 18 years no one on earth could have a child which is threatening the existence of the human race. The world has fallen into chaos and the English government is blaming anyone who is not from England and throwing them into camps. On his was back from seeing his friend, Jasper (Michael Caine), Theo (Clive Owen) is kidnapped by underground resistance group called the Fishes led by his former lover, Julian (Julianne Moore). She ask Theo to help her escort an African immigrant out the country. As the story progresses you learn that the woman is pregnant and if the government finds out they will kill her and keep the baby. Theos soon finds out that the the Fishes second in comand, Luck (Chiwetel Ejiofor) has killed Julian and wants to keep the baby for the Fishes and uses him as a tool against the government. Now Theo has no one he can trust and isn't even sure if his way out the country is really there or not but with no choice he has to keep on going.

This movie is quite scary because it shows what a lose of hope can do to people and what the world has turned into. There where some scenes in the movie that made me feel really disgusted for instance when Theo is at a train station and there are cages on the platforms filled with immigrants begging for food. Just seeing people do that to each other made me feel really uneasy. There is one part of the movie that I love and think is one of the most heartwarming scenes i have scene in any movie. There a huge battle going on between the Fishes and the government army inside a immigrants camp, with most of the Fishes killed the battle still continues until the people hear the cry's from the baby and everyone stops for a while just to see and touch the baby. This scene was really well done, you could feel the emotions and the atmosphere completely changes.

This movie has a story line that keeps you at the edge of you seat all the way through, the scenes all look like there real and actually happening. This is a great movie and i would advise people to watch this one if you can.
