Childhood's End

REVIEW
This is a 3 parter TV series by Showtimes. Same company airing Homeland and a few other nice TV series. Furthermore it is based on the book by Arthur C Clarke who as you know also wrote 2001:Space Odysey
Thou its a 3 parter each parts is about 1 1/2 hrs long (as long as 1 movie) so that would be 3 movies seen.
The movie is SyFy produced. Well you know how shitty can their movies be. 1 point added - if it is action mvoies. If not, like this one, its pretty nice thou you can see that the Spefial Efx not that top notch at all.
At the beginning of the moive thought that it would be straight forward Sci Fi. But towards the 2nd parter, it become like a religous movie and horror too. It has many sub plots and many characters too in it so as to make it this long which I am pretty sure they are also from the book.
A bit dragging at times but what holds it together is the storyline. After all its about the end of the world for godness sake.
Its a previlege to know who was the last man on earth and how he become that person. Like other books or movies of the same theme - We need to start taking care of this earth before we are given or last chance. Fantastic 4 (the old one) 2 - with the silver surfer in it (or is it 3?), Interstellar and The day the earth stood still deals with this theme.
