This is a great film. It is one of the best, most realistic sci-fi films ever made. And there within lies the problem: it's TOO realisitc. I felt so uncomfortable watching this film because it was SO realistic. I almost couldn't bare it. I'm a tough guy, and I adore suspense and intensity, but I think I finally met my match. This was overwhelmingly intense and frenetic! It was exhausting trying to get through this film. But that's probably the most surprising part: I really liked this movie. It was bold, brutal (and parents, I mean BRUTAL; please don't let your kids watch), and highly realisitc vision of a dying world in the near future. This was a true masterpiece in sci-fi film making. But it's hard to say that I loved it when it was so hard to watch. Though afterwards, despite the gratuitous suspense and overwhleming sense of dread, there is a glimmer of hope. A glimmer that both makes you cry and puts a smile on your face. Bravo.

This film is what sci fi was meant to be. This is a brilliant post-apocalyptic scifi film. A very dark view of the future where women cannot give birth anymore and the entire human race is corrupting. Violence: Extreme. Characters are shot and killed and blood present. The whole film has a very dark and upsetting tone to it. Language: Some infrequent swearing Sexual content: None Drug Content: A character smokes pot

If you think this is a sci-fi film, I suppose I should envy your optimism--or maybe not. I think this nightmare is right around the corner, so 'Children of Men' terrified me. The idealistic revolutionaries turn into murdering terrorists, no better than the police state thugs they're fighting against. Now what? The cinematic violence sets a new benchmark for intensity. We're left with just the faintest glimmer of hope for humanity.

This movie was great from beginning to end. It kept my interest and it was fast moving.

Didn't really see much correlation between the civil "war" and the fact that people are now (in the future) sterile.

This was a Great plot or Story which was wasted by lame movie making, My 14 year old and I agreed that the idea was real good but the movie was boring despite all the violent action. this story could have been presented in a much better way, still a good message for teenagers. Parents should accompany their children.

I think that this movie is great for older teenagers because it will make them think about what is important nowadays and how they want their future to be.

One of the most visually stunning films I've seen in awhile. The camera work makes you feel as if you were in the gritty, harsh places the characters go to. For those expecting the movie to follow the book, beware, it doesn't! At times the violence was a bit overwhelming but it was important to the story. I LOVED the way they ended the movie!

This movie really makes you think what allowing the machine to grow could do. To me this movie will stand out in the ranks among films like Donnie Darko, The Island, and thinking thillers of the like. I would hope that people take some feeling of skepticism away with them and use it as a filter when they watch the evening news. Ah the power of propaganda. But even in the end of this movie, there is a possibility of a brighter although uncertain tomorrow. I would definatley suggest this film.

For me it wasn't scary at all, but it may be too scary for children.

i have to read to my daughter and son

If you have ever played Half Life 2, this movie's style will look very similar to you. The graffiti-lined crumbling walls, the controlled, dictated cities, and the desperate rebels all give a tense, cold atmosphere to the movie as the human race is closing in on extinction. It's very bloody and violent, most of it being gun violence. Brief nudity, nothing too bad in that department other than the childbirth scene as stated. Something you might wanna see if you're a fan of Si-Fi action!

An excellent film, very violent but that makes the film better as it makes the future seem more realistic. There is a lot of swearing and the violence is gory, the strongest scene being a man being scene with his legs bleeding. I advise only to show to 12+.

First o fall id like to say that CSM didn't tell about a womens visible breast's.The violence in this movie was very graphic evrything from cows on fire to people getting shot at point blank range.The language of this movie was pretty bad it was "F" this to "F" that also plenty of s*$t's d@!%'s and everything else overall it was a good movie but you should be at least 12 to watch this movie.

I dont know why they liked the F Word so much. They used It a LOT! Anyway There was a lot of violence. Lots of shoting and like the review says a very graphic birth scene. People were chased, killed and it would VERY scary for little kids. Besides all of this, i thought it was entertaining i didnt want to stop waching. I think this movie should be for teens and adults only.

I thought this was a great movie but the violence was very intense and if you are a very sensitive kid you wouldn't be able to watch this. I did think it had a great story line and some scenes are realistic but are quite disturbing.All in al it was one of the best movies I had ever seen.

This movie was based on a creative story that is not a happy one. The violence and drug/alcohol references in this movie are disturbing. Kids who are sensitive should take caution before deciding to see this film.

This wasn't a horror movie in anyway at all, but it was just creepy thinking that there could be infertility. The movie was very good, and is probably okay for 15/16+. There's lots of language and lots of violence with some (extremely) graphic gore mixed in. Overall, and very good film.

Children of Men is an intense, powerful, and mind-blowing film...it was amazing! Everyone should see it, it's a masterpiece, no doubt about it. As far as content goes, parents should definitely watch it before their kids do, but it's not nearly as bad as CSM makes it seem. The violence is intense, but realistic, and none of the violent parts are just tacked on there for the sake of it, they actually add to the story.

Great movie. I am 13 and was able to handle the violence, but then again, I consider myself more mature than many my age. Besides the violence, the f-word is used very frequently.

This is a great story!! I especially love the ending!! I thought that i wouldn't end up liking the movie because of all the violence but i ended up loving it!!

My parents and I just saw this and it was one of the best films in recent years. I think if parents take their children to see it, it will lead to a discussion of the parallels between this and the bible, what events could've caused this, and could it really happen. I think the only think that may make you hesitate is that they use the f-word a lot, and the violence. There is a lot of explosions, dead bodies, people being shot and violence against people at a camp for illegal immigrants. But all in all, very good and I predict it will win some oscars.

to me it really didnt make alot of really good sense a little
