Children of Men [Blu-ray]

An often overlooked and underappreciated sci-fi classic. The bluray is far superior to the DVD OF THIS MOVIE.

This movie is simultaneously depressing and entertaining. Theo is played by Clive Owen and the setting is in England in 2027. For reasons that are not explained or likely even known, no baby has been born for eighteen years. The youngest known person is a celebrity and was recently killed. England is now under a brutal martial law and there are roaming gangs of thugs that will attack anything they can. For example, when Theo takes the commuter train, it is pelted by members of a gang. There is a strong anti-immigrant sentiment in the country, people of color are being systematically rounded up and caged, ghettoed or worse. When Theo's former lover has Theo abducted, she asks him to help her escort a young black female out of the country. At first, he is not told the reason why, when he agrees and is part of a group traveling to their destination, they are attacked by a gang and his former lover is killed. Yet, they manage to reach their safe house. While there, Theo learns that the black female is pregnant, a modern miracle to say the least. The action is brutal, England is a nation in many ways at war with itself, Theo and the woman are in the thick of a battle between the British Army and the ghettoed immigrants in an event they call “the uprising.” This film is very powerful, for in the midst of what is essentially a race war, the only current hope for the human race to continue is a black woman with a child. Another powerful scene is when Theo and his small group hide out in an abandoned elementary school. It is sad to see what should be a place of joy rotting for lack of need. There is a glimmer of hope at the end, but it is only a glimmer.

A grim but beautiful film that shows what the world would become without the blessings of family. The sound and picture quality are great for a blu ray - looking forward to a future 4k release!

I thought there was no Bluray copy available of this Alfonso Cuaron's Masterpiece An absolute MUST for every film buff

This film was one of the most underrated films of the year it came out. I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys futuristic films or political/psychological thrillers. For those of you who have already seen the movie and are just trying to decide whether it is worth seeing in HD. In my opinion the audio and video on this Blu-ray far surpass the SD or regular DVD version of the film. It is definitely worth adding to your collection.
