A bit late this one, but hey ho...
We went to see Children of Men last Tuesday, as we hadn't been to the cinema in over a month (shock horror!). It appeared to be the only decent film out at the time and all the reviews were raving about it.
IMDB gave it an 8.0 out of 10 for example.
The storyline itself is great and makes you think if there is something the modern man is doing, that will eventually prevent us from reproducing. But what is really great is the directing and camera action. For example, there must be a world record in there somewhere, as one scene clearly lasts for 5 minutes or more, without a single cut. Clive Owen manages to move through the action, explosions, gun shots etc. without messing up for what appears to be forever.
If you're looking for a film to see over the next week or two, then this should be it. Many have said it is the film of the year - I disagree, but it is definately one of the best. I reckon the top spot will go to Clive's other hit, Inside Man.
Tonight we're off to see The World Trade Centre, but I already know the outcome of that film. Click looks good too, so I might make a third visit on Tuesday.
