what did you think of children of men?

Question

rate from 1-5 stars what did you think of children of men?

Answer 1

I give it 4 stars - ****.
It was beautifully filmed, I cared about the characters, there was an element of meaning to the film that didn't preach but still spoke to what is happening now. For a film that was so dark in some ways, and quite violent, it also had a strangely uplifting effect.

I saw it with my son, who is 21, and he really liked it, too.

Answer 2

4 stars, probably almost 5. I think the movie was amazingly done, great effects, great storyline, great characters. The birth scene looked sooo real. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. It's scary to think that that is actually what the world COULD be like one day.

Answer 3

Entertaining, and the camera work was very engaging. The plot felt a bit rushed, and failed to capture much depth beyond the two main protagonists.

I was particularly fond of the jabs at the Patriot Act, Homeland Security - and particularly the torture scene taken from the U.S. Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal at Abu Ghraib (the hooded prisoners when they are entering the refugee camp).

Answer 4

5 stars. I think it was an accurate picture of what our world could become in the next 30 years.(without the infertility thing...that was made up).

Answer 5

1 star - I didn't like it. It was totally different then I thought.
