Description

No children. No future. No hope. In the year 2027, eighteen years since the last baby was born, disillusioned Theo (Clive Owen) becomes an unlikely champion of the human race when he is asked by his former lover (Julianne Moore) to escort a young pregnant woman out of the country as quickly as possible. In a thrilling race against time, Theo will risk everything to deliver the miracle the whole world has been waiting for. Co-starring Michael Caine, filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron's Children of Men "Lifts you to the rafters, transporting you with the greatness of its filmmaking. The action is swift, ferocious and spectacularly choreographed." (The New York Times)

    If you want to see a movie that provides an amazing cinematic experience, then look no further. Alfonso Curaron is one of the best living directors and he does not disappoint here.
  • Disturbingly relevant!

    I really enjoyed this film when I first saw it back in ‘06, then I watched it again on TV (edited) a few years later and I thought ok, it still an interesting movie. I watched the original version on NETFLIX a couple of years ago then it hit me. With everything going on in this side of the world (Brexit, the United States treatment of illegal immigrants, the rise of right-wing populism), this film has become disturbingly relevant. No other film from the last two decades has so clearly depicted our present state. This is no longer a future dystopian tale. If you don’t see the parallels after watching the movie, pay no mind and go hide in your bubble.

    Children of Men is one of the saddiest most depressing movies i have ever seen. The film has a dirty color palet and it's very ugly because the world that is taken place it's sad and dirty. The acting is fantastic espically Clive Own who delivers in this film but remeber don't ingore the background.

    I basically liked this flick. Good acting and some genuinely suspenseful moments. The violence was intense but not gratuitous at all. Most reviews here praise this film as a masterpiece — it isn’t. Again, it’s good and fits in well among many dystopian depictions but... The faux illegal immigration issue was a blatantly transparent partisan propaganda subplot. Certainly most people are getting sick of politically correct sermons in film, especially thinly veiled attacks on the current president’s policies. This film could have done as well if it had completely eliminated the references to poor struggling migrant victims and caricatures of cruel evil fascistic oppressors. The “cages” depicted were obviously duplicate references to the one’s seen in news clips under Trump (not acknowledging that most stock photos were actually from the Obama administration). Immigration policy (America has laws regarding immigration just like most countries) is a debatable issue but shoe-horning it in, particularly in such an exaggerated form, really bordered on cliche'. This was basically a good film, not great but, please spare us the sanctimonious propaganda. We can get that from most establishment news sources today.

    I got it because of the reviews from rotten tomatoes and the comments were all 5 stars. Unfortunately it wasn’t good.
  • I hadn’t watched this movie since it was in theaters.

    I haven’t watched ‘‘tis movie since it was in theaters. I can’t believe how well it holds up. Still equally powerful and gripping. The movie never slows down. The character building is incredible with the amount of screen time some of them actually get. The cinematography is inspirational. Love it.
  • Its ok
