Best Movies of my Life #13

Children of Men
Children of men was a British sci-fi film released in 2006 and has as unique of a plot as you will ever see in a movie. The story takes place in the year 2027 where since 2009 women have become infertile. And as you can imagine, having no children in 18 years takes its tole on the world. Governments, the economy, and social order has collapsed. The only functioning city left in the world is London, which has become a prison state, not allowing refugees into the city and any that sneak in will be exported or worse. The movie revolves around an average Joe named Theo who is kidnapped by an ex girlfriend who leads a militia group fighting for refugee rights. The former couple kicks it off again, but it's not long until she is killed in a sneak attack by an unknown group. When taken back to the militia's base, Theo discovers that the group has found the first woman to be pregnant in 18 years. A young woman from Africa named Kee. While the group wants to keep the baby a secret for fear of what the government will do to it, Theo decides to sneak her out of the country and take her to the Human Project (man's last try to discover what is causing all of this). Children of Men is a movie like no other.And it shows how even when sh*t hits the fan, people will fight until there dying breath to ensure mankind goes on.
