How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A harrowing journey through a crumbling world where the last spark of hope becomes a target for everyone with power. Relentless, visceral, and spiritually urgent, a film about protecting what's sacred when civilization has abandoned its own future.

Reviews
There are a lot of pets in a world without children.
Children of Men is pretty much perfect. It is a captivating and realistic portrayal of what modern society could look like if fallen. There are a few twists to keep you guessing, and they all make sense and strengthen the story. My only complaint is that I want to know more about this world, a prequel and a sequel (of the same quality...).
Story was good. Cinematography was amazing.
Clive Owen was good but supporting cast made the film.
