Yes it is. This is basically the Nativity Story in the context of a dystopian future. Joseph and Mary in the war zone.

Ah, I missed the part in the real Nativity story where Mary slept with a bevy of men and had no idea who the daddy was. Of course these screenwriters did try and make a poor joke about a virgin birth before revealing this (bit of racism there as well; why is the black momma written as a slut?) Thanks for reminding me of yet another of the ways in which an apparently pretty good SF novel was butchered on film.
