yay! a children of men thread! i watched it a few weeks ago, but i didn't know there were fans here! this movie is definitely the most important and significant movie in a very long time. i think that the future in this movie is portrayed very realistically, and possibly the one where we're gonna experience a few years down the road. people should watch this. and all the unanswered questions aren't really there for you to ponder upon, it's just there for facts, you know what i mean. like the reason all the women are infertile, even the people in the movie don't have a clue, it could be pollution, etc. plus, like i said it's just meant to be there to shape the bigger storyline and theme. and also, so far, this movie has one of the best cinematography i've ever seen. pan's labyrinth should not have won that best cinematography award at the oscar's!

QUOTE(QuickFire @ Mar 12 2007, 05:14 PM) Hey I started the Pan's thread before I watched it... I've watched it since and it's a very good film, just overrated. People are attacking me in that thread lol! In the years to come CoM will be regarded as a classic. dude, CoM is soooo goddamn underrated it's disgusting. okay, probably not that underrated, but it's frustrating to see it not doing well at the box office, i hope the movie will do well on dvds. i'll sure as heck buy the original once it comes out.

Dont see how that makes it underrated at all. oh really? my bad then...  i would say it'll go on as a sleeper hit and i think it'll definitely reach a cult status. maybe it's just cos i was basing my opinion off of the fact that it didn't win any oscars. but oscars are overrated anyways.
