"Children of Men" envisages a world one generation from now that has fallen into anarchy on the heels of an infertility defect in the population. The world's youngest citizen has just died at 18, and humankind is facing the likelihood of its own extinction.

Set against a backdrop of London torn apart by violence and warring nationalistic sects, "Children of Men" follows disillusioned bureaucrat Theo (Owen) as he becomes an unlikely champion of Earth's survival. When the planet's last remaining hope is threatened, this reluctant activist is forced to face his own demons and protect her from certain peril.

MOVIE REVIEW

January 1st, 2007. Leave it to this day, New Year's Day, for me to see what could be the best movie of 2006. Children of Men, the new movie from Alfonso Cuarón (Y Tu Mama Tambien and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban), is sensational, a tour de force of drama, suspense, political commentary and even humor.
