To what extent is The opening of Children of Men ‘cinematic genius’.

The fist 10 mins of Children and men is cinematic genius, as it does not only strait away engage the audience it also makes you want to watch more which should be the pure purpose of films. I believe the target audience for "Children of men" is between 16-35 as it is a more sophisticated scientific based narrative with some strong language. From the first 10mins i can already tell that the narrative is that the world has had 2 whole decades of human infertility and the distress this has caused upon mankind. I believe it was an extremely engaging was to bring in the narrative with the "death of the youngest" human as it automatically leaves the audience with a yearning to know why? and how? and what brang upon this tragedy?
The view this text represents is that off all, as so far the text had followed around a normal looking man around early 30's with a 9-5 job, this connotes the idea the film has been created for all and no specific class or society of people.
The CGI used during the explosion is what makes the first scene such a 'cinematic genius' as it allows the audience to experience being in that position themselves and therefore drawing the audience in.
