The world's youngest citizen has just died at 18, and humankind is facing the likelihood of its own extinction. Set in and around a dystopian London fractious with violence and warring nationalistic sects, Children of Men follows the unexpected discovery of a lone pregnant woman and the desperate journey to deliver her to safety and restore faith for a future beyond those presently on Earth.

It unfolds in the best way possible (minus the fact that almost all my favorite characters died). :P Very emotional at times, harsh and gritty attack sequences and deaths, believable characters, perfect pacing, and an appropriately dark atmosphere. Pretty scary that something like this COULD happen at some point. X_X

The characters were an awesome little variety too. Pretty much all of them stuck out to me in some way.

The deaths are often very shocking and sometimes in the background. Some fates are left unseen, you never find out what happens to them but since this is a pretty harsh chaotic movie and the tone is somewhat hopeless at times, its a no brainer that most of the characters whose fates are left ambiguous probably didn't survive.

I really loved this movie. I agree with everything jon said. The attack sequences was so gritty and brutal. Deaths were extremely shocking and well done. It definitely had very emotional moments. I agree most of my fav chars died too and in the most emotional way. I loved all the characters. I rooted for them and was sad when something happens to them. The atmosphere was perfect. This was done well and I agree it's scary that this can actually happen. Keon needs to see this too. It's freaking great. I can't say anything bad about it.

Don't click on this keon,

Rewatched this earlier today with Robby after picking up a cheap copy at the flea market. Still just as great a film as I remembered it. He was also pretty shocked by the timing of some of the deaths. I wonder if the climax was really filmed in one take. I noticed that the blood on the camera kind of disappeared after a short time which was odd.

I want to rewatch this with marvin. I want to see his reaction. I can imagine him being shocked at the death order.

This became one of my favorite non-horror films. Must get the dvd.

Get it! Its super cheap and has some decent stuff on it. Can't believe it didn't get a 2 disc special edition (at least I don't think it got one).
