me and the boyfriend rented that movie this weekend, too. It definitely wasn't what I expected.

*light spoilers following*

The back of the dvd explains that it's 2027, most major cities have been destroyed, except of course Britain. Before the movie begins, pregnant women are having miscarriages and there are no new pregnancies. The world is freaking out. There are bombings, everything is a police-like state, scaryscary. Main character dude, who used to be an activist in his early years, finds himself back with a bunch of hippy activists that are hiding out the world's first pregnant woman in 18 years. The movie goes through his adventure keeping her alive through utter chaos. There's many characters you get attached to... and well, they die. Don't get attached, or you'll cry like me and Shadow_Wanderess.

I am really glad that I got to see this movie in theaters first, the battle scenes were so intense!! It really surprised me by how good it was, I really wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did.

it made me cry a bit when the old man kept saying pull my finger but just gets shot

That movie is AMAZING!
Totally different from anything that had come out before. Clive Owen is an incredible actor.

Children of Men is so good. It's just an amazing piece of film. The cinematography, the editing, the direction, the acting - all top notch. Watch the movie and pay attention to how the movie it edited together. *SPOILER* Notice how it looks like the birth scene is in one shot. It's actually two, but the editor does it so seamlessly, you don't even notice.

Watch the featurettes on the DVD. They are amazing.
