A masterpiece. Taught in film schools. On everyone's top film lists. And some of the most complex scenes ever filmed. An instant classic.

Hands down the greatest experience I've had watching a film on the big screen

Incredible movie. The scene where the fighting stops and the soldiers kneel as they finally register that they're standing before a miracle, a baby, never fails to get me tearing up.

i walked into a movie theater to watch any movie, this was playing. i never saw a trailer, knew nothing and it might be the best movie i ever saw in a theater.

P.D. James was 72 years old when she published this book. After a long career being known as a crime fiction writer, she crafted this utterly compelling story of the near future. Then to have it be turned into a masterpiece of a movie, by the incredible Alfonso Cuaron, during her lifetime.

The direction is incredible!

They do show (or at least imply) how the Fishes tracked Theo to Jasper's, but you have to be watching very closely. In the scene where Theo first takes the train to meet Jasper, the guy sitting behind him on the train is one of them, so they already know that Jasper's house is somewhere he would go to hide. It's not something you'd be likely to notice on first viewing (because at that point in the movie he's just a random guy that doesn't do anything to call attention to himself), but it's there.

I had just assumed they had a tracker of some sort on all their vehicles

There's an important detail that happens after the credits in this movie: as the music finishes playing, you can hear the very distinct sound of children laughing and playing. The implication is supposed to be that humanity's reproductive capability will eventually return, either because of the Human Project's research or because Kee was the first of many women who will 'miraculously' regain their fertility.

The thing is, it could be thought of in the reverse and its the last ringing memories of a now dead human world... although i think most people go with the positive hope.

I had forgotten how stressful this movie is. It isn't a full-throttle action film, but it beats them all for sheer tension. And I love that it's gritty and realistic, but hopeful; the best of us will triumph over our worst nature.

One aspect of this movie that I rarely see mentioned, and which I credit for being the key reason it excels in building tension, is that the movie never strays from Theo's point of view for even a minute. We never get any exposition that he doesn't or see anything that he isn't aware of. Therefore, we never know what his adversaries are doing when they're offscreen, and don't know what to expect around the next corner. While most movies would use foreshadowing to present tension, this one repeatedly builds it naturally by keeping Theo, and the audience, in the dark and utterly unprepared.

​@@mintjulius275compare the views this gets to other "classics" they've covered. I think it might be due to the fact that it's not American. Quite a few movies have had to change to appeal more to the lowest common denominator American audience. Master and Commander had to change the war the book is based on so that America wouldn't end up portraying the "bad" guys in a movie. I'm not saying this is all Americans simply the studios tailoring movies to appeal to the largest home audience who tend to only watch America based movies starring people they know and relate to. Children of Men was a hard sell initially for that audience but more and more people are finally getting round to watching it so it's reputation has grown steadily over the decades

This movies is fire 🔥🔥

Alfonso Cuaron did right leaving Harry Potter after the 3rd movie. Usually when you see a small budget director going from small budget to big budget, he usually wants to stay in the big budget territory, sometimes making sequels or similar movies. Cuaron avoided that, and instead used his experience on big budget movies to explore other genres and try different things. I love a director that explores different genres. Is usually what leads to a lasting career.

Probably my favourite film. Masterclass in filmmaking and supreme world building.

I remember years ago when college professors used to offer students academic credit for either watching the film or reading the book.

Those super long takes must have been so hard to time and plan out, but man do they make the tension so heavy. This film, along with "Arrival" and "Dune: Part 1" are all pretty much tied for me as the best sci-fi films of the 21st century, and of all-time when you get down to it. This is the only one of those three I never got to see in the theater. I just missed it recently at the New Beverly, but hope to see it on a big screen one day.

One of my absolute favs of all time. The two fav scenes for me are when the nurse remembers how it all started and when the war stops when they see the baby. I weep at that part every time. “It was odd. When the playgrounds died.” Holy fuck that was powerful.

This movie is excellent. In my top 20 sci-fi films of all time

You were 100% right about TLOU, Neil Druckman actually mentioned being inspired by this film.

Love that you guys watched this movie, it’s one of my all time favorites ❤️

The scene with Theo and his brother was set at Battersea Power Station... you can see a huge floating pig in the background, this is a reference to the cover of Pink Floyd's album Animals, which has an inflated pig floating over this building. There's a famous story of how it got free of it's tethers, and floated off (even forcing Heathrow to cancel their flights), before landing many miles away, giving new meaning to the phrase 'when pigs fly'!

16:12 Peter Mullan, the guy who plays "Sid" was "Mother Superior" from "Trainspotting". Maybe he's familiar from there?

Definitely worth checking out the behind the scenes for this movie, the car ambush scene is an incredible one shot with a crazy camera rig, same with the ending scene as Theo moves through the city.

One of my favorite films of all time.

im suprised yall didnt notice the dreaded guy we all hate is Charlie Hunam. king arthur, the gentleman, sons of anarchy, they had so many good actors in this film

For the three MVPs, Jasper, Miriam, and Marichka ✊️

Even the rebellion and Sid, using them for their selfish purposes, the journey still wouldn't happen without them. Jasper, Miriam, and Marchka were guardian angels though

The actor playing the fascist guard is Peter Mullan, Scottish actor. He's been Ozark, Westworld season 2, and a heep tone of gritty British pictures.

Between the amazing cinematography and social commentary, this film is criminally underrated. I think most of us felt the same way with this story that is stress inducing. Great reaction!

Sons of Anarchy fans are probably nonplussed to see Jax Teller with dreads and a Geordie accent :)

Incredible movie with incredibly long scenes without cuts (or a few hidden cuts). I liked you reaction and subscribed! 👍

The predictive programming in this movie is off the charts. It was made 18/19 years ago. It was released 17 years ago. Scary stuff for sure.

When I first saw this movie years ago I got so emotional. Great film.

"Everything happens for a reason" is a way to dismiss the relevance of something important, saying it didn't matter. If somebody's death "Happens for a reason," then his death didn't matter.

at 21.53 theo throws his right flip-flop in the air in the corridor, we see his flip-flop flying while he says: damn it! haha

Bexhill's still pretty much like this on your average Friday night.

U kiddin me... This is awesome... One of my absolutely fav!!

This is my favorite movie that somehow no one I talk to knows about. I have to hold back tears every time.

Emmanuel luzbeki is a genious behind the camara

The one shot , no cut shot was awesome ..

I love you guys comments at the end of the reaction. very interesting!

Easily one of the great sci-fi films of this century

I felt like some of the edits were frustrating, like you missed opportunities to showcase some of the more emotional, bigger plot points but it was so easy to see how much you were both drawn into the movie. Loved seeing you swept away by the story and how genuine those reactions were.

Congratulations. You just watched one of the greatest masterpieces ever created.

The tasty stork joke makes me laugh every time. This is my favourite Michael Caine performance.

The movie is a masterpiece. Great reaction!

Did you notice that the battle scene is 1 shot, when the blood went on the camera the director shouted "cut" but it was so noisy that they kept shooting and that's what I'd in the film

NOT fair..afrter everything Theo did to save that woman and her baby, he deserved to live..Poor guy was just a journalist looking for a story and instead died and hero...One of the saddest, underrated movies I've ever seen (Although it's highly ranked by sci-fi crtics as one of the GOATs)

i don’t believe jasper is theo’s dad, theo and julienne probably befriended jasper and his journalist wife in their youth when theo was a political activist

She reveals that she's pregnant in a barn...like? Mary and Jesus... The animals really like Theo, what job has you working with animals...? Anybody? A Shepherd... see where I'm going with this? I'm not even christian/catholic

If you lived in a world where folks are unable to have children for 18 years, your mind would probably break to pieces too.

@@MegaMerdeux Well it is called "Children of MEN" not "man" as in human or as is often the case the mother is seen as the "...of child" which kind of reminded me of "I am Legend"... the end of the book is where the title of the story comes from yet countless movies made and NOT ONE movie stuck to the original ending of the book lol so the title becomes meaningless !! Weird... not angry... just find it odd. I understand it needs to be dramatized and people are more sympathetic to females in peril but the book would have made a great movie as was. Dunno where you get the "angry" from ?

I saw this movie a long time ago and I didn't particularly like it that much. Don't get me wrong, it's incredibly suspenseful, has some great action scenes, and the cast is fantastic across the board, but it's just too depressing for my taste. It's strange, you'd think a movie about a future society where people can longer carelessly breed like locusts would be much more feel-good and utopian, but goes in the other direction. Also, I still don't understand why Luke wanted to kill Theo. Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention, but that never made sense to me.
