In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Children of Men (2006)
A science fiction directed by Alfonso Cuaron, starring Clive Owen, Julianne Moore and Michael Caine.
In a post-apocalyptic future, nobody has been able to have children for over 18 years. A man's ex-wife asks him to escort the first pregnant woman in years to safety.
This was a very dark film. The style conveyed the plot very well. It's a film that is years ahead of it's time, meaning that this is a possibility in the future. Why? Bisphenol A is a chemical that is used in the manufacture of food and beverage containers, money, receipt paper and ink, cosmetics and clothing. It leads to higher risks of getting cancer and it damages hormones. Some people say that it could cause infertility. Suddenly science fiction just becomes the future, as always. I'm rating this film good because I think that it was made very well and has a pertinent theme.
