I got the impression that Cuaran wanted us to imagine, with our own ideas, how Britain had become this way.
If you don't mean all of the above then I don't know, lalala  | The end just left too much hanging.
Not a bad film/idea but I wouldnt wanna see it again.

I can see why you might find that annoying I suppose.

Affirmative 
I thought the ending was a bit cheese, but then again we don't really know who The Human Project are, or if they exist at all, so I'm guessing that's why it ended like it did.

I dunno, a sequel could be utterly amazing.
Some brilliant bits though, like the bit where she walks down the stairs with the baby and everything just stops.

I agree, I think that is a key moment.
The more I think about it, the more is seems like a 'special' film. Quote:

I loved the fact they didn't try and explain everything.
If they started trying to get into the science of it it'd lose it's effect.
it was basically a camera following Clive Owen about for the whole movie.
Had they explained everything it wouldn't have worked the way it did.
Was there a scene he wasn't in? | |

I've seen it twice, and I can't recall one scene without him in it. Still though, he carries the film with ease. As a matter of fact, big Owen deserves an Oscar nod as well.

Aye, the fact he was in every scene was to its credit. | |
