Yes the cinematography is great. The visuals are great. The story as a whole, didn't care for it. The end did get me. When you hear the background sounds while the bold CHILDREN OF MEN is shown. Maybe I didn't like it because is felt so close to how things are turning out in our world. I don't know... On a side note, 300 was awesome... I finally watched this movie.

Later, I tried to read the novel it's (loosely) based on, and just couldn't get into it. I saw it in the theatre and absolutely loved it.

It is fantastic. I especially love their long long "one shot" takes - ie the car in the wood scene - it's hard to believe that's a single take, but it is! There's no cutthru scene - where the camera would suddenly flick to another scene (for example most films would show the inside of car, then outside etc) Brilliant. I rented this on DVD, but would be purchasing it for my collection.
