Children of Men ( Blu-ray )
In the year 2027, the human race has lost its ability to procreate and society is rapidly descending into chaos. Alfonso Cuaron's adaptation of PD James' gripping novel is a dazzling noveau-noir actioner with Clive Owen as a cynical former activist forced back into the fray when a young woman is found to be inexplicably pregnant and desperately needs safe passage out of a besieged London. Julianne Moore co-stars as Owen's right-fighting ex, and Michael Caine is his bedraggled old mentor. A stunning and viscerally-charged glimpse of a terrifying future.
