Civilization As We Know It

A film that I have been anxiously awaiting the release, arrived on US soil yesterday. "Children of Men" adapted from P.D. James novel set in 2021, when women no longer have the ability to procreate and the youngest person on the planet dies at the age of 18 years, 11 months, 7 hours and 16 minutes (or somewhere around there). The entire world is in a state of destruction & warfare, which we witness here on English terra firma. Although the film strays some distance from the original novel on a few details, most probably for cinematic & time reasoning, what it stays true to is spot on. Hope where there is none. This film has everything from light hearted moments you'll chuckle at, to tension that will make you hold your breath for 20 minutes and great acting to boot!
