Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
kdr_a This is set in dystopia men cannot have their babies. The last half scene Clive Owen and others go down the stairs was absolutely good. I was so implessed that my lips couldn't stop shaking. Children is really innocent and holiest, and therefore any people can feel it--regardless of positions, languages and wealth.I didn't realize the famous 10 minutes long takes because I knew it after watching. How peverse the director is! He shot long takes in that chaos scene. By the way, I was so surprised that VFX breakdown came up when looked giving birth scene up. The baby herself was CG!? Amazing...
Dar Star Children of Men is well crafted movie with solid acting from its lead characters. The background story is light in detail as to why man has become sterilized, but it takes the concept forward well and is very thought provoking. The cinematography is quite good and the battle scenes at the end are intense and visceral. I rate it a solid 8 out of 10.
charliekusiel Just finished Alfonso Cuarón's "Children of Men", and let me tell you, I did not see something of its scale coming when I loaded it into the DVD player. The first half an hour or so I was kinda confused, I'll admit, but eventually I caught on and got pretty engrossed in it. The acting was so phenomenal. Certain characters, such as the ones played by Clive Owen and Clare-Hope Ashitey stood out. Their performances intensified the story to an extreme point of me having to press pause and take a breather. The cinematography was also very impressive. The use of long shots were extremely effective, and at one point in the movie, a split of blood stayed on the camera lense for several minutes. These kinds of details have the film a unique style so in sync with the story. Something else I noticed that has never stood out to me before was sound mixing. They used layer upon layer upon layer to create this gritty realisticness. The sound department did a great job of bringing certain sounds out at the right time. Combine the sound, eye candy, acting and great story, and they've created not only a solid film, but a really phenomenal one. The plot took unexpected yet appropriate twists that pushed the plot and my emotions along, and I didn't see the events of the last act coming at all. But it all felt right. This was a really really good movie.
lordredblue 1. An African-American woman will not get credit on the movie poster even though she does most of the work relevant to the plot of a movie.
