I did like this movie quite a lot. I found particularly interesting how the future was protrayed as being onyl slightly different in terms of technology and such. It is something that is kind of coming into its own in modern scifi cinema. For example, A Scanner Darkly didn't try too much to make it the OMFG FUTURE. They had a couple fo different things, but nothing too completely different technologically. It worked really well in Children of Men though.

I noticed that, how there was nothing fantastic about it. It occurred to me that knowledge of your impending extinction might do a thing or two to halt sceintific progress. Then again, we never really explored the "cleaner" areas of the world, so maybe all the doodahs and doohickeys were reserved for the privileged. I know one area that saw definite progress was "life extension", what with all the plastic surgery and god knows what else. I guess "life reduction" got the same treatment too.
