Children Of Men

Did anyone else enjoy this movie a lot? I thought it portrayed the apathetic/chaotic sterile future very well. DISCUSS!

I thought it was kinda boring. I fell asleep towards the end.

the best scenes were the action scenes
the irony of killing the youngest person on earth was a good start to the flic

the movie wasnt what i expected. it focused too much on getting the pregnant woman to safety. i didnt even finish it, but i really liked the idea of ppl not being able to have kids anymore. i actually had that idea , but instead of being unable to have kids ppl would just choose not to and would enjoy the rest of their lives w/o having to worry about the future and all that stuff. and i thought of this before the movie came out so i was really freaked out when i heard about the movie.

I hope they make a sequel

i like this movie too, it makes me think a lot after i watch it. there are some funny party and there about some sad parts but overall a good movie. if you haven't seen it then i suggest you should go watch it now

Here are the reviews I'll put on here
Positive
Los Angeles Times: Kenneth Turan
Made with palpable energy, intensity and excitement, it compellingly creates a world gone mad that is uncomfortably close to the one we live in. It is a "Blade Runner" for the 21st century, a worthy successor to that epic of dystopian decay
The New York Times: Manohla Dargis
Children of Men may be something of a bummer, but it’s the kind of glorious bummer that lifts you to the rafters, transporting you with the greatness of its filmmaking.
Negative
Wall Street Journal: Joe Morgenstern
Bloated adaptation of P.D. James's thoughtful, compact novel.
New York Post : Kyle Smith
Director Alfonso Cuarón has a vision so mesmerizingly terrible that it alone - at least, for those who enjoy a gorgeous nightmare - is reason enough to see the film.
-the reviews there are mostly positive no red square.
