Children of Men

Set in the near future (2027), all females in the world have gone infertile. They youngest person in the world is 18 years 5months.
Civilization is collapsing all around the world but England soldiers on through strict laws and expelling all immigrants. The story is based around a young female refugee who has become pregnant.
Due to being a refugee the expecting mother is being brought to a group called The Human Project so her and her baby can be properly taken care of without the English government's interference.

This movie is truly under appreciated. The acting is great, the sets and the visuals are truly stunning. But the one thing that sets this film apart from anything else i have ever seen is the cinematography. The average person at first glance is not going to notice, but there are scenes that involve hundreds of extras, explosions, full speed running through buildings and it is all done without a single cut. There is a scene in a small vehicle where the camera is able to do facial closeups on everyone in the car without a cut, while there are 100's of people throwing rocks, Molotov cocktails, and gun fire. In an average film these kind of shoots would be no big deal because you can re-film the small mistakes and just piece it together. But what 90% of the people who i have made watch this movie don't realise is that these scenes are done in 1 take. You cannot fake a single continuous steady cam shot. One of the final scenes you feel like you are in the movie as an invisible person following everyone around. The ability to do this is a testament to the actors and actresses in this movie. And if you think they do fake it, there is about 30 seconds of one of the long "no cut" scenes with blood splatter on the camera lens (the blood is digital and disappears once they enter a building).

Why should you watch this movie?
Because it is a masterpiece of cinematography. (Awards: Nominated for 3 Oscars. Another 20 wins & 24 nominations)
