Children of Men
Any other year Children of Men would be my pick for best film of the year. It’s easily one of the top two films I’ve seen this decade. Luckily for me the other one, The Fountain, came out just two months ago. Which one is better is a total coin flip for me. They are both engrossing, challenging films. The Fountain maybe makes you reconsider how you look at life a little more; while Children of Men might be a bit more technically impressive. But neither film is lacking in either category. If you love SciFi but are tired of the same old mind fluff Hollywood churns out and calls science fiction you have to see these films. I won’t bother reviewing them because there are plenty of better ones out there, but they both come with my highest recommendation.
