Children of Men - got nothing else to say but that this movie is indeed as amazing as you've been hearing. I don't normally agree with critics but this is one movie that shows Cuaron is indeed one of the best visual directors out there. Every frame is packed with information (not to mention some of the incredibly choreographed shots) and sometimes it can be a little overwhelming. The premise is a little silly and some actions of some characters seem unnecessary [SPOILER] mainly those actions that seem inserted in because every character has to die in a movie like this. But I didn't find it interesting as a sci-fi movie; I think this is one of the few movies made in recent years that provoked my thinking simply with its compositions and shots. Cuaron is officially a director I'll be watching now.

I hate to say shit like this, but anyone that likes Half-Life 2 might appreciate the setting - very City 17-ish, even down to the ambiguity of location.
