It takes place in a world about twenty years from now that has gone to shit. Violence, disease, and death are everywhere; all women across the globe have become infertile. The world's youngest citizen, an 18-year-old boy, has just been murdered, and humans are on the verge of extinction.
Set against a backdrop of London torn apart by violence and warring nationalistic sects, the world this movie creates is stunningly real and scarily believable.
Also the climax of the film features the longest, most unbelievablely awesome steadicam shot I have ever seen in my life.

Much better than Dreamgirls.
And also less singing.
..and yet, no worthwhile Oscar nominations. I hereby declare the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences: a joke. Little Miss Sunshine? Give me a break.
