I suspect this film is much less affecting on the small screen. The graphic violence didn’t bother me much. I didn’t really understand how the childlessness really mattered – everyone lives like we’re last people on earth anyway, and maybe that was the point. But, given that, then the end is meaningless.

I liked the way the film plot moved along on a smaller scale though. I like PD James’ mystery novels a lot and I think her genius storytelling is in here too. But I never read Children of Men because I don’t like future fantasy sci-fi stuff. I think I started it, maybe.

Anyway, I actually liked this and now I’m going to go read the book.
