Why is this call a sci-fi ? It gave me the wrong impression that there is technology involved. I was rather disappointed. Not very well scripted

ONE WORD SUMS THIS MOVIE.........BOOOOOOORING! I ALMOST FELL ASLEEP! CLIVE OWEN`S ACTING WAS GOOD, BUT THE PLOT WAS WEAK, PAM FERRIS WAS A SURPRISE; BUT NOT A BELIEVABLE CHARACTER AT ALL! DON`T WASTE YOUR MONEY, SEE BLOOD DIAMONDS INSTEAD!

Best film I have seen in years. Intensely bleak, but hopeful in that you see humanity at its best in such a hopeless setting. A strong commentary, too, on the cultural numbness setting in our society towards the value of human life, war and everyday living. There are so many implications in the film that can easily be related to the world we now live in (and I commend the makers of this film for helping us see them). Incredible!

A bit boring and a lot of lose ends.

A bit slow and depressing. Ok overall. Definitely not an oscar winner.

In previous review, I meant Claire-Hope Ashitey (NOT Chiwetel Ejiofor) was terrific, for a newcomer, but again, her script was lean. It was a typo! ;)

A dark, apocalyptic feel. Michael Caine did a standout job in what little role he played. Julian Moore`s script didn`t allow her to stretch her legs. Clive Owen kind of sleepwalked through it, but he`s great to watch. Chiwetel Ejiofor was terrific, for a newcomer, but again, her script was lean. Acting talent is not the problem here. This screenplay couldn`t possibly be a true facsimile of the book, as the book was a best-seller. One gets the feeling that there is a lot more under the surface of this movie than is displayed, possibly due to the transition from paper to silver screen or maybe from so-so directing. Maybe a really good

Not so great. The concept was sound and very interesting but they fell short on portrayal. A renter unfortunately

Children of Men is an overwhelmingly sad commentary on today`s society. It is unbearable to think that millions of dollars were spent on the making of this 90-minute horror show. What will I remember about this movie? I will remember scores and scores of brutal killings; the gratuitous violence; the pointlessness of the enitre film. Stay home and play a board game with your family and use the money you saved going to this movie to surprise someone you love with flowers or give it to charity--call it your contribution to a better world.
