The only movie I ever considered walking out on.

Didn’t know what I was getting into when I decided to watch this movie. Had little idea of the plot; didn’t know who was in it. I was in no way prepared for the impact.

This is one of the most powerful films I’ve seen in a while. It was hard to watch at times because of the intensity. Gave me plenty to think about—about our times, about technology, about the future. I recommend it for anyone who can handle the bleakness.

I suspect this film is much less affecting on the small screen. The graphic violence didn’t bother me much. I didn’t really understand how the childlessness really mattered – everyone lives like we’re last people on earth anyway, and maybe that was the point. But, given that, then the end is meaningless.

I liked the way the film plot moved along on a smaller scale though. I like PD James’ mystery novels a lot and I think her genius storytelling is in here too. But I never read Children of Men because I don’t like future fantasy sci-fi stuff. I think I started it, maybe.

Anyway, I actually liked this and now I’m going to go read the book.

I think I liked this, only I’m not quite sure. The initial premise was interesting, the acting was good and characters interesting. The direction (by one of my fave directors Alfonso Cuaron) was great with some amazing long one-take shots. However something left me a bit unfulfiulled by the end. I either missed something fundemental in the progression of the story, or just not much really happened. Like one of the other posters here, I was a bit disappointed by the ending. Hopeful, maybe but not in a big way. Still, worth consuming.

I really loved it. I guess i could get passed the blood, and see that this is a movie about hope.

two things annoyed me about this movie:

1. the blood splatters on the camera

2. the ending

easily one of the worst movies i have ever seen. couldn’t finish.
