Movie Review Part Deux

Last night we watched the last of the three movies we rented, Children of Men. Wow, interesting premise. It's the year 2027 and the world has gone to Hell. The reason: the last baby born was in 2009 and there hasn't been a pregnant woman since. 18 years of infertility has caused the world to go mad. England, it seems, is the only country with some sort of control. Refugees are flocking to England and are being put in camps...cries of "those damn illegals" can be heard everywhere. Meanwhile a group of rebels has blamed the Government for the infertility and are planning on using a pregnant African girl's baby as a symbol. The protaganist is trying to get her to a buoy in the English Channel so she can be picked up by a boat and taken to a private research facility in the Azores called "the Human Project"......a thinktank of scientists that is considered a myth by most that is trying to find a cure for what's causing the infertility of the world. Interesting themes that can be linked back to what's going on in the world today.
