★ 6/10

A strong premise and great cast prompted my interest, but the movie falls short of its promise. Clive Owens gives a great performance and a few of the scenes are remarkably memorable and resonant. However, there are very long stretches where the movie simply stagnates and the plot drifts away, especially towards the end.

Cuaron's masterpiece so far (including Gravity, which was gravely miscast). This film is: a) easily the best film of the decade of the 2000's; b) the finest dystopia film since 'A Clockwork Orange' and probably the best sci-fi since '2001: A Space Odyssey'; and c) all the evidence you need that Clive Owen should have been selected as James Bond in place of Daniel Craig. Heartily recommended to any...

★ 7/10

With a society almost entirely devoid of children, the worst news descends as the world's youngest person - merely eighteen - is murdered. Mankind is looking extinction in the face unless a group of anti-establishment folks led by "Julian" (Julianne Moore) and "Luke" (Chiwitel Ejiofor) can get the pregnant young "Kee" (Clare-Hope Ashitey) to safety. To that end, they recruit her unwilling ex-husba...
