Sincere, yet with a satisfying number of KABOOMS!

Rating: 9/10 (9 October 2007)

Nice detail that the mother of the future is an immigrant, and a black one at that, surely the SarahPalinesque white folksies must see the irony with that ....? Probably not. And it's maybe not an original concept, since the real Eve lived in Africa, millions of years ago. Then again, that is yet ANOTHER scientific fact they would deny .... ;)
I actively avoid knowing anything about films before I see them, choosing them on poster, title or actors or genre. Children of Men sounded like a dreary societal drama, until I read it was a SF-film. It was really a great film, and when you're watching it, you get really the feeling that it's a very expensive movie. All those extras! Amazing. Sadly, it's not profitable (yet?): it cost 76 mil to make and only gained 68 mil according to boxofficemojo. Too bad.
It's a great achievement to make such a cinematographically well-made film look so ugly. There was NO part of that world that I wanted to live in. Kudos & mad props!
The long scene at the end, is reminiscent of the beach scene of Saving Private Ryan.
War ... it's really something very, very, very bad.
