Vividly realistic, atmospherically tense, visually absorbing, emotionally gut-wrenching, and uncommonly involving futuristic dystopian film that eerily mirrors our current society with all its injustices and inhumanity. Alfonso Cuarón's magnum opus and one that will be remembered as one of the best of its decade. A masterpiece through and through.

At times I wish the picture didn't have such virtuoso camerawork, as those visuals can take away from Cuaron's intellectual and visceral adaptation. By heightening our modern-day extremism, economic inequality, and environmental collapse he's created the best science fiction dystopia ever put to film. And the personal arc is profound, with the hero starting as an alcoholic and ending as a man who uses a liquor bottle to save humanity. One of my Top 10 films ever & worthy of all the praise.

What Cuaron does perfectly here is bring the dystopian near-future to life. You could study certain scenes for hours and continue to pick out revealing tidbits. There's also some elaborate camerawork, decent enough acting, and a few surprises. Overall I liked it, but I wasn't all THAT impressed. The story was neither as moving nor thought-provoking as it could have been. Too much of it was action scenes and chase scenes. Also the whole "HOMELAND SECURITY" thing made me roll my eyes.

Although the year depicted is 2027, Cuarón seems to have jumped the gun - the film's complacency and consumerism, fatality and nihilism, terrorism and nationalism, fits all-too snugly into the (a)moral fiber of 2017. The film's unrelenting anxiety gives it both urgency and, strangely, authenticity. The film's future is Now, and it hurts.

Sometimes there will be an asinine argument about whether or not popular entertainment can be artistically authentic anymore, either formally or aesthetically. Children of Men succeeds at all of that, primarily because every single thing about it is emotional. The way it is shot (beautifully immersive), the focus on and perspective of Theo (empathic) and the story that is told (inviting to an ethics dialogue).

Harsh, brutal, extremely well made and not all that far fetched. Well, humanity becoming infertile maybe but there's adverts on the radio NOW about hiring illegal immigrants. Good old EU... Anyway, some of the cinematography in this is just STUNNING. The one continuous shot about 25 minutes in to the movie....I can't work out how they did it. Gonna have to buy the DVD just to find that out. Michael Caine is fantastic in this, as is the rest of the cast. The futuristic tech is subtle and

One of the most incredible and heart-stopping movies of the decade. Captures an apocalyptic world better than any other film, due to its incredible technical achievements. The art direction crosses Bagdhad with Times Square, and the cinematography gets so personal its unlike anything I've ever seen. Clive Owen gives his most human and heartfelt performance to date. With this film, Alfonso Cuaron has positioned himself among the world's most talented directors.

I was very impressed. I can't really say anything is wrong with this movie. It's 100% haunting and apocalyptic. Curon is a very effect director and writer. Fantasy or not, this felt very real to me. It also has a few great performances and suspense. Underrated and for sure worth watching.

I find it hard to believe that someone could not appreciate this. I could talk about this film for hours. Simply put: "Children of Men" is a masterpiece, a term I rarely use, and the film will be remembered for years to come. You would only have to see the two long take sequences to acknowledge its quality and Alfonso Cuarón's sheer talent as a director.

Stunning action sequences and great direction in general. The acting was mixed, Owen and Caine were excellent but many key roles in the film were either mediocre or even rather poor. One of the important parts of the film was the setting, although I've seen so much of totalitarian societies like this that the setting didn't feel fresh or exciting at all. The largest flaw is that I think Cuarón could've been a little braver and explored more with his film.

If you want some of the most epic one-take action sequences ever put to screen, simply give Mr. Lubezki a call. I'm not really a fan of the novel, and the ending of the film has some problems, but the masterful execution makes the not insubstantial shortcomings of the script seem almost negligible, and the attention to detail in the world-building by Cuarón and Co. makes their dystopian vision one of the most accomplished science fiction films of all time.

I liked it. The ostensibly matter-of-fact view on the totalitarian regime is thin and transparently didactic, but there are some seriously good scenes that make up for it. Some was a bit rich, but understandable in the world created. I was left feeling that the rather original and interesting premise was let down by too many attempts at profundity with mediocre execution. Action scenes and sound design is great though.

I remember being very impressed with Cuaron with Harry Potter 3 (he shaped the visuals for all the movies after it) and I was stunned with what he did here. The most convincing post apocalyptic look a film has ever had and one of the most visually impressive films ever made especially all the insanely long single take shots.

Due to many hours of playing Fallout, I am a sucker for this stuff. I'm not biased in saying though that this was a great movie. Caine gives a great supporting act but Owen blew everyone else away. The camera work and action sequences were another high point. I'll probably re-watch it very soon as I just enjoyed it that much.

A tense and frustrating sci-fi film that presents a lot of questions about the future and challenges today's world - COM is one for the discussion table. The women of the world have become infertile and the search for a remedy drives people mad in a world at war. Not only is this one of the most tense and fiercly acted films of the past 10 years, there is also incredible camera work; namely one unforgettable scene that goes over 5 minutes without a cut or stopage in filming.

Magnificent. This movie operates at a level so far beyond most everything you see these days -- you simply can't take your eyes off it. It's technically stunning, proficiently acted, and oh-so tense. The movie's concept seems laughable at first until it smacks you across the face with just how dire a situation it is -- you really feel the weight of every death with life in a vacuum. The Long Take through war-torn streets is legendary, rivaled only by Atonement's Dunkirk shot. SEE THIS MOVIE.

Cuaron trains his literally unblinking eye -- those fucking tracking shots! -- on the carnage fostered by war, nationalism, and our basest, most self-preservative tendencies and rejects the nihilism of our age, suggesting that even in the bleakest dystopian wasteland hope will never die so long as Tomorrow -- the possibility of grace and absolution -- exists.

The opening relationship rekindling between Clive Own and Julianne Moore feels like it moves too quickly so I think there was some editing there. Aside from that this movie is amazing.

This is what post-apocalyptic (pre-apocalyptic?) sci-fi is all about, son! The star of the show is Alfonso Cuaron's directing and the sensational cinematography and camerawork.

With flawless direction and amazing cinematography, the thing that lets this film down is an incredibly bland, typical story progression underneath its interesting premise. The acting is really also nothing to write home about; the most important actress in the film is actually pretty bad. The ambiguities in the story are almost too overwhelming, and the present day political message has become an almost too-often occurrence in films today. Definitely worth watching, but vastly overrated.

Thought provoking and surprisingly profound cinematic triumph displaying an apocalyptic nation in unparalleled depth. Thanks to some excellent direction Children of Men provides long smoothly flowing action scenes, further intensifying the rapid build of tension in a mysterious yet sometimes disturbingly familiar environment. Packing old school subtlety and modern action almost indistinguishably, it provides a fascinating viewing which always leaves the viewer pondering. Amazing.

This is a strange movie for me, because while I admit it's a good movie, with good acting and brilliant camerawork, it left me largely uninterested in the story or the characters. It's rare that I watch a movie that I recognize as a very good piece of film-making and yet it overwhelms me with a sense of sheer indifference to it. There was one scene, near the end, that truly moved me and yet, despite this and all of its artistic accomplishments, I can't bring myself to rate it higher.

Fairly straightforward plot, but the acting, direction and cinematography set this miles above most movies. The camerawork is mindblowing, and Cuaron gives the entire movie a tense feel without making anything too over the top. It feels real, it feels visceral, and because of this, it can overcome its somewhat cliche plot to feel moving as well.

Because there are so many things to praise about the film, I will simply pick my favorites. The cinematography, often comprised of extremely long takes, brings you into the intensity, increasing the thrills. The story is unique and captivating, and the acting could not have been better by the leads. The mix of action, drama, and a surprising amount of comedy thanks to Michael Caine, make Children of Men a must see. Awesome!

Legit, realistic sci-fi. A gritty, bleak dystopia that feels all too real in its global despair and oppression, augmented with paranoia and distrust of others. The whole film is about glimmers of hope and humanism surviving beneath all that, and it's balanced perfectly. Intellectual, philosophical, and political concepts ultimately support what is a strongly emotional narrative that's affecting and sincere. Love the cinematography; Emmanuel Lubezki is god.

Like many of the greatest sci-fi flicks, this one is purportedly about a future dystopia, but the conditions we see there are strikingly similar to the present-day real world, especially in the brutal refugee camp sequence. It's not an accident that this film came out in 2006, when the sectarian violence brought about by the invasion of Iraq was reaching its bloody pinnacle. Great film portrayal of our grim present and future.

After I read the summary of this one I was curious and felt that I wouldn't want to see anything demanding anyway. Well, that was the wrong choice for the evening then. Like every good SF movie should, CoM portraits the contemporary society much better than many other non-SF films ever manage to. Some scenes are unbelievably brutal, some twists are downright evil. Also people killing each other off while humankind is about to vanish presents a case of super-fine irony.

A visually powerful film, with some of the most impressive cinematography and set design in recent years.

Work of art. Set in futuristic England where national warrants are on full power and where justice and society is languishing, Clive Owen miraculously gets entangled into saving a young woman's baby - where the world at stake because in that world human race has lost ability to reproduce. Beautifully shot, aesthetically arranged, showing a fractious human kind, this is one hell of a movie. Each frame reflects another one with scissor like precision which all blend to create this gem.

11 Agost 2011 - Creació complexa, imaginativa però versemblant, aclaparadora, crua i moltes altres coses. Fotografia interessant i singular. Clive Owen segueix delitant-me, però moltes altres interpretacions interessants. Poderosa.

Great! A film that surprised me for appearing to be genuinely improvised and really gave a feeling of realism.

One of the most beautifully shot movies I have seen. The story is original and the acting is amazing. Anyone who hates this movie can suck it.

Amazing performances, thought-provoking script, action and reflection. Even if you are the type that finds screaming children analogous to kryptonite (like myself), I defy you not to be moved to tears by something in this modern dystopic masterpiece.

Easily one of my favorite films of all time. I've seen it several times and will probably see it several more. The camera-work in this is simply astounding; the breakneck tracking shots through war-torn streets, guns a blazing in all directions, are oscar-worthy in themselves.

Better than the book. Amazing. The scene in the apartment building is stunning. Better style and more intense than Blade Runner.

One of the best-designed, shot, scored, and imagined films of recent memory, this film, while imperfect, is inimitable. Owen and Caine are both great, though some of the supporting acting, not to mention the dialogue, can get a little clichéd and treacly, but it's never bad enough to diminish the incredible imagination and veracity of the movie. The long shots are absolutely breathtaking, and the tension is often quite literally unbearable. I wish it ended about 30 seconds earlier though.

Criminally misunderstood and underrated, this is the story of a jaded, cynical man finding something worth living and dying for. This is not a superhero story, this is an average guy doing everything humanly possible to protect lives while wearing only flip flops. While darkly funny, I find it inspiring and incredibly hopeful.

This is an incredibly powerful film, which can almost be seen as an allegory or parable. Cuaron's world-building is wonderful, and the little details truly make the film. Plus there is some incredible directing (THAT TRACKING SHOT). All of this adds up to an arresting film, that resonates in the post 9/11 world.

This movie is great, it's depressing, exciting and the storyline and the acting is great. Alfonso Cauron has made a very good movie here. Cauron is one for doing scenes in one entire take (One of the shots goes for over 5 minutes, it's incredible.)

This is the second time I saw this movie and again I must say I'm impressed. The director finds a perfect balance between suspense and social criticism, at once succeeding in catching all the action while at the same time unveiling the desperate social conditions in a seemingly nonchalant way. Clive Owen once again shows he's a terrific actor in a role that fits him best and Michael Caine makes his secondary character shine. Finally I have to remark that the the surroundings look incredible.

Grim, grim movie. The acting isn't the point here, the anarchy and the quest are. But the bravura action serves as a stark background to the clarity that Clive Owen brings to his transformation.
