All I can say is that this was a GREAT movie. Definately suggest you guys watch it. It has you on suspense the entire time and your just freaking out most of the time throughout the movie. If you can connect with the point of the movie, its really good. Definately surprised me. You also get to see the miracle of life!!! Probably the most graphic thing Ive seen on movies for a while.

I've been told this was a good movie too, gotta check it out.

imo, it was too goddamn boring for me... not really enough killing or action. Other than that I thought it was a decent plot and it obviously sets up a Children of Men 2.

That one battle scene (the scene with the blood on the camera lens) was done in one take! crazy!

Definately a good watch. The ending was kinda bunk but I guess it was a good way to end it.

It wasn't an action movie, I think you missed the point.

I definately was intrigued by the way it was filmed, I always expected the worst, or to see some gruesome shit, I was pleasantly surprised, definately a good movie to see, if you're not looking to see gore, guts, blood, and bad story line.

I thought it was an excellent movie. I agree the ending was a little lacking but I thought that was really the only way to resolve it without the writer stepping into a situation where he had to write at least another hour. lol. I'm not sure if it was intended but I thought the corollation with the birth of Christ was interesting. I really wish I could have seen it in the theater though. The "battle" scenes would have been amazing with a big screen and surround sound. There have been movies with amazing "in the thick of it" action but it's always from one of the combatants perspectives. With this movie your sort of seeing it through the eyes of someone just trying to live through it and not fight through it.

So the question is, should i watch it with the wifey in the movies or wait till it comes to dvd and then rent/bootleg/download it online.

I was expecting more "bang bang". The plot was interesting, but the ending was too vague. over all i'd give it a B

BC240 · 01-08-2007, 11:01 AM

Awesome movie but the ending left me unsatisified
