The new movie "Children of Men" starring Clive Owen, Julianne Moore and Chiwetel Ejiofor is now open in limited release. General release is December 29th.

Quote:

In 2027, in a chaotic world in which humans can no longer procreate, a former activist agrees to help transport a miraculously pregnant woman to a sanctuary at sea, where her child's birth may help scientists save the future of humankind.

Anyone seen this yet?

I have watched the movie, found it quite good.

A little dark, but it does feature one of my favourite actors Clive Owen.

Worth a watch I would say.

As for Chiwetel's role not on a par with his role in Serenity



Why have they taken the sky from ME

A very good film. Maybe even a great film.

Chewtel does not feature heavily so that is not a good reason to watch it.

Starts slowly, and builds up. Finishes in a special way.

There are a few small issues here and there, but to me it is probably the best film released this year.

Damn. I am a huge Clive Owen and Julianne Moore fan but I was especially looking forward to this for more Chiwetel. Oh well... glad I've been warned that his part isn't that major.

I've seen him in Serenity and Kinky Boots... it would be nice to have a third to try and bridge? or round out that experience...

Still looking forward to it.

Try 'Dirty Pretty Things' (2002) if you want more chiwetel.

(I would say do not be put off the name, but I gues it is pointless considering I was put of by the names firefly and serenity...)

Yep, it's a brilliant film if you're into post-apocolyptic things. Is one of my favourite films, ever.

and you can watch Chiwetel in the Tsunami Aftermath mini series on HBO.. he is excellent and he got the GG nod for this too... he is all the way through it..

He is also in Love Actually, tho it is a small role, being an ensemble piece...
