Children of Men
Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, Michael Caine. Envisages a world one generation from now that has fallen into anarchy on the heels of an infertility defect in the population. The world’s youngest citizen has just died at 18, and humankind is facing the likelihood of its own extinction.
This had a realistic view that's hard to find in movies anymore. The way the characters were portrayed, how Owen was missing shoes and had to find someone else's thongs to wear the rest of the movie - it was great. How people were on edge because no one could get pregnant and the war that was going on around them.. it was very believable and jarring. It wasn't too pessimistic or too optimistic. I'm not going to spoil anyone, but there were mixed hopeful and sad feelings in the ending.

That definitely sounds like an interesting plot that's never been applied to movies before haha.
I might have to check it out!
sounds interesting but I'm a bit frightened to watch it.
Before I forget it, I like that phrase in your profile about "curbstomping locusts"!
Have not seen this movie. Will put it on my list.
