Children of Men Ratings & Reviews
- flavo43November 22, 2025Children of Men is one of the most haunting post-apocalyptic films I’ve ever seen. Unlike many entries in the genre, it tackles social collapse with unsettling realism: refugee camps, authoritarian crackdowns, and everyday numbness to violence feel frighteningly plausible. The premise alone made me stop and seriously imagine a world where humanity can no longer have children, and the film never lets you escape the weight of that idea. It is deeply thought provoking, but also gripping, with bursts of raw, chaotic action that pull you right into the characters’ desperation. The long, seemingly unbroken shots make everything feel immediate and dangerous, as if you’re walking those ruined streets yourself. Clive Owen’s weary, reluctant heroism and the strong supporting cast keep the story grounded in human emotion, turning a bleak vision of the future into something still strangely hopeful about sacrifice, faith, love, and the stubborn will to carry on.
- frankpanduhJanuary 30, 2025This movie is a must watch.
- Neon GhloesSeptember 17, 2025This movie has one of the best "oners" from modern cinema... EVER! The "invisible wipe" to keep it going is also INCREDIBLE! I worked for Double Negative while this was being filmed, and our team did the work on the forest chase scene... I cannot believe how well it turned out! Lol! Literally... None of it is real! It is ALL digital comps! Nearly 20 years later, and it holds up better than I EVER THOUGHT it could! I rarely watched movies I work on until VERY recently, for lots of reasons... But this one was well put together, and the crew that did the vfx for the urban warfare scenes along with probably the best totally digital newborn baby I've ever seen... Absolutely CRUSHED IT! That looked AMAZING! I look up to digital artists of that caliber! We were just digital compositors, and some seriously impressive matte painters at DN back then! Lol! But, the assets and digital imagery they(whoever the other vfx houses were!) constructed looks SO SWEET! This was a well put together flick! It doesn't feel like any portion was left under developed, under appreciated or rushed for it's budget! The story sucks, but if you can handle not needing the entire back history and associated mystery behind the presentation, it's a great wartch!
- mickerdooJuly 5, 2025Phenomenal idea with an extraordinary execution. The setting and world is so well detailed and decorated. Supreme camera work.
- GeNoScyllaSeptember 6, 2025Pretty good dystopian movie. I would have loved more lore and exposure but I know that’s not what the writer was going with.
- Lasse ViinikainenJuly 31, 2025One of the more important sci-fi classics.
