Book Reviews of Children of Men, the
Book Review: New Genre of Dystopia., 13 Oct 2007
Summary: 5 Stars
Fantastically written. It describes a future dystopia with so much enigmatic character and charisma that you feel like you are literally on the brink. Character development is not slow or contrived; neither is the emotional impact. The characters have apparent flaws, stern resolve and lovable quirks, you know them, you grew up with them, you love them.
The film however is not the abysmal accolade it's made out to be; harsher to the concept of the book, took away key points, plot, even some beloved characters and character depth was lost to those who are on the main stream of the book. But visually stunning, shorter summed up narrative and less controvertial than the book. But controversy can sometimes make a book. The film follows our current contemporary society by reflecting our status as humans on this planet. Result is a more downheartened and gritty world.
