Film Review 1)The story takes place in 2027, England. After 18 years of global human infertility the world has collapsed. The United Kingdom is the only nation with a stable government. There is a war going on between British government and countless immigrants who seek their way into the country. Theo Faron, the main character, is kidnapped by a militant immigrants' rights group ‘the Fishes’’. Their leader of the group turns out to be Theo’s wife Julian Taylor from who he has been separated for many years. Julian offers Theo money to acquire transit papers for a young refugee named Kee. However, the bearer must be accompanied, so Theo agrees to escort Kee in exchange for a larger sum. One of “the Fishes” member drives them. However their car is unexpectedly ambushed by a gang and Julian is killed. They escape to “the Fishes” safe house. Kee turns out to be the firs pregnant woman in 18 years. Kee tells Theo that Julian wanted him to get her to the "Human Project". “Human Project” is an independent group of scientist who are looking for infertility cure. During the night in the safe house, Theo hears a conversation in which “the Fishes” intend using Kee’s baby as a political tool to support the coming revolution. Theo and Kee escape to the house of Theo’s friend Jasper. They come up with a plan to board a ship from the human project which will arrive offshore from Bexhill refugee camp. “The Fishes” discover Jasper’s house and break in to capture them. .Before escaping with Theo witnesses the Fishes murder Jasper. They finally get to the Bexhill refugee camp. At the camp Theo and Kee meet a woman who provides a them a small room. That same night Kee gives bith to a girl. The next day, a war breaks out between the refugees an... ... middle of paper ... ...ons seems to be. At the end of the movie the director gave viewers a choice. When the ship comes to pick up Kee it is not clear whether people will find a cure for infertility or not. We can decide whether there is hope in the end of the film or not. Based on the message portrayed in the film, there is a chance that the story will have a happy ending. Even if the chance is small, we now know that there is hope in every situation. 6)I liked everything about the movie. The plot and the choice of characters were good. I was interested the whole time while watching the movie. The movie made me worry about the main character and really experience his feelings. It felt like I was going thought that adventure with him. The film is an excellent dystopian strory and is definitely worth watching if you like dystopian fiction. I would rate the movie 5 stars out of five.
