I don’t hate this movie at all, just don’t care about it, Alfonso Cuarón’s Children of Men.

Seriously, everywhere I look the movie has been praised to the heavens as a watershed in movie history and how prescient it turned out to be and all the subtle visual cues, and at first I wondered if I was watching it wrong, and have rewatched it quite a few times but it still doesn’t do anything for me. I sincerely don’t care about the plot, the characters, the cinematography or anything, it’s just a flat affect for me. I still don’t get what’s so great about this movie, and I’ve actually enjoyed Cuarón’s other movies.

Then again, a guy I know who is a huge fan of CoM once told that if I don’t like the movie for any reason then that’s cool.
