Mark me down in the disappointed column as well. It certainly is a "watchable" film, but it doesn't deserve near as much hype as it's getting. Massive holes in the plot (Why are women infertile? Will one baby change that? What help can the "Human Project" give if its members aren't smart enough to figure out what's wrong in the first place? Etc.. ) turn this potentially interesting story into nothing more than an action/cop-chase movie... and, a very depressing one at that. I'm still unclear why critics are so excited by the one or two scenes which appear to have been filmed in one long shot/take. Live theatre and television directors have long blocked sequences to make the action look seamless, but reviewers seem to think that when a film Director does it, he's brilliant.

What you describe as "massive holes in the plot" are actually an integral part of it. They are used to create an atmosphere of confusion and uncertainty for the viewer, which helps them understand and experience the situation and emotions of the characters. Secondly, the long takes not only show a remarkable display of directing talent and timing, they also make you feel as if you yourself are there when the battle is taking place. After all, if you're running through the street there aren't any pauses for editing.
