Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

kdr_a This is set in dystopia men cannot have their babies. The last half scene Clive Owen and others go down the stairs was absolutely good. I was so implessed that my lips couldn't stop shaking. Children is really innocent and holiest, and therefore any people can feel it--regardless of positions, languages and wealth.I didn't realize the famous 10 minutes long takes because I knew it after watching. How peverse the director is! He shot long takes in that chaos scene. By the way, I was so surprised that VFX breakdown came up when looked giving birth scene up. The baby herself was CG!? Amazing...

kjs2525 This is one very, very scary film. I originally saw it when it was released in 2006. At the time I thought it was just an over-the-top, unrealistic, dystopian story. But after 12 years, the Trump election, many countries embracing totalitarianism and fascistic leaders, not to mention the impact of climate change on migrants and refugees, I now see how this film was way ahead of its time, maybe a future that can really happen, better than anything Kubrick might have conceived (e.g., Dr Strangelove, 2001, Clockwork Orange). Watch it, and then pray this is not our real future.

FountainPen MAJOR SPOILER AT THE END OF THIS REVIEW! An important supporting role in this movie is played by Michael Caine, born Maurice Joseph Micklewhite in London, England, to Ellen Frances Marie (Burchell), a charlady, and Maurice Joseph Micklewhite, a fish-market porter. Now he's "Sir", but from what a very close friend of mine experienced about 30 years ago, Caine is far from a gentleman. My friend was waiting for a train on a station platform in Sussex, England, when he spotted Caine walking along by himself. He went up to Caine and addressed him politely simply to say hello. Caine INCORRECTLY assumed my friend was seeking an autograph and said sternly "Ahm not signin' any or...". My friend quickly assured him he was NOT looking for a signature, Caine replied "Ah, good". A few moments later a young boy approached Caine and DID ask for his autograph; Caine rudely refused, very visibly upsetting the lad who went back to his parents, clearly distressed. It was, therefore, with some astonishment that I saw this unusual movie "Children of Men" begin with a person of world-wide fame being KILLED because he refused a request for an autograph! The movie is a one-off, very intense, disturbing, creative, but doesn't quite come off. The storyline premise is fascinating, there are many compelling scenes, but the violence is over-the-top (unrealistic gun battles), and some scenes are too drawn-out. The film cannot be termed "entertainment" in my view; it's not a documentary; perhaps it's just what it seems ~ a harsh concept of a potential future world in which women can no longer become pregnant, for your intellectual pondering. 5/10.

lordredblue 1. An African-American woman will not get credit on the movie poster even though she does most of the work relevant to the plot of a movie.
