Very odd, what happens in a world without children

An absolute revelation, Children of Men surpasses all expectations.
No film ever set in the future has ever looked so realistic and genuine thanks to mind blowing cinematography (catch the scene where blood is splattered on the camera and remains there for a few minutes).
Tackling touchy subject matters including terrorism and immigration, COM never shies away from controversy and through significant religious symbolism offers immense hope even in the face of extreme futility.
Thought provoking, intelligent and intensely entertaining, Children of Men is one of the best movies of the 21st Century.
