In the dramatic thriller "Children of Men," humankind is facing the very real possibility of extinction. The world's youngest person drops dead at the age of 18 and because of a bizarre infertility defect, people can no longer reproduce. But there is one chance humankind can survive. A woman is discovered to be pregnant and it's up to a reluctant champion to face down those who threaten what could be humankind's last remaining hope.

The premise sounds interesting - I'll bite - and it doesn't hurt that "Children of Men" features a first-rate cast including Clive Owen, Michael Caine and Julianne Moore. The film also has a critically acclaimed filmmaker at its helm. Alfonso Cuaron ("Y Tu Mama Tambien," "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban") directed the movie and adapted P.D. James' novel with co-writers Timothy J. Sexton and David Arata.
