not as good as all the hype

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

The first must-see film of the year.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Not much to say here, terriblly boring, way too much pointless dialogue.

Children of men is a bleak movie- both visually and thematically. In the near future couples are incapable of having children as females have become infertile and society is in a state of crumbling when a lone black girl(who is pregnant) is the only hope of an antidote. The task of our lead(Clive Owen) is to take her to safety aided by a few others. The film looks bleak because of the saturated colors and England looks like a depressing place. The camerawork and pacing is quite good and a long tracking shot in a car is rather beautiful in its execution. The director would go on to helm Gravity and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban so the style is a constant. This is a good science fiction film more concerned on the social commentary than explosions and effects.

First time I saw this film I though it is normal action film but it came out with terrific camera angels.

I liked this flick, because of good acting and originality.However, I think there's a lack of logics. I wouldn't qualify it as a "Realistic" scene. Although now (2018) I fear some aspects seem pretty much so, currently the problems are generally caused by over population, in an exploding way, not under population. If the scenery would be reality that a problem of massive infertility would occurs (sad sad sad the faith of newborn Dylan at the end, who will statistically have to survive 18 years lonely, at the end of her life,although I cannot imagine she is really the only one; if she is born, others must have been born, maybe rarely depending on the unknown cause of infertility, but still), I would guess European governments would enthusiastically welcome immigrants, to deal with their old grey people worries, not lock up immigrants.
