I feel this is a perfect example of a good movie ruined by the last 5 minutes of screen time. I mean, I get that the Child Allocation Bureau was meant to be the Big Bad here, and a predictable one at that, but the writers seem to have somehow forgotten mid-writing that they created a very valid reason for someone to build that organization up. Humanity was facing extinction, and that's not a thing that goes away just because you find out that you've been going about it all wrong. Honestly, that last scene in the Matrix-like nursery ruined it all for me, and I had very much enjoyed this movie up until then. It's hard to root for the Good Guys when they're actually the ones who will bring about the destruction of our world.
