Children of Men

Tali: Children of Men is the kind of movie that makes you hold your breath in anticipation and it isn't until the end of the film that you realize you've bitten all of your fingernails in excitement. Set in the not-so-distant future where everything that could go wrong has, Theo (Clive Owen, yum) is thrusted onto mission to escort Kee (the only pregnant woman on earth in almost 20 years) to a safe haven that may not even exist. This is one of the best films I have seen in a long time. The stakes are constantly raised and the futuristic world is set up in such a way that you truly believe this can happen in our world too. The dystopic take on the new world is so depressing and miserable that all you want out of life for those two hours is for that baby to be okay. OH! and it has Michael Caine as a long haired, pot-smoking hippie (FTW).

Leo: When I was originally recommended to watch this movie by a few friends, some of them mentioned "like V for Vendetta". I love V for Vendetta, but I'm very pleased that this was nothing like it. The war scenes in this movie were incredibly well done and it was at the same time on the line of unrealistic and too realistic / close to home - but it did not cross either line. SPOILERS AHEAD It's hard to think what could have been better in the movie, when Julianne Moore died I was surprised more than anything and I'm generally not easy to surprise. She was listed as one of the main actors and everything. She probably didn't even have to die plot-wise, but when she did it set the mood for the entire movie. Everyone I was watching it with looked around wide-eyed and went "holy........shit......". Great movie, everyone should see it.
