That scene where they're driving through a forest and a flaming car rolls into their way followed by hundreds of screaming maniacs out of nowhere is still one of the most terrifying things I've ever seen.

Saw it for the first time like a year ago. It was really good.

The climax was amazing. Watching the girl walk her baby through what was seconds before a raging firefight, while people cried, prayed or stared in awe at the sight and sound of a newborn child. Goddamn powerful.

The single take action scenes (car chase where Julianne Moore dies, urban warfare at the end, and iirc also the part where they escape the farm) are imo some of the best and most intense action filmmaking possibly ever, definitely in modern action movies. Quick cut Steven Wright action scenes are good for the kind of superhero-beats-up-fifty-people action but I think Children of Men's extreme long takes are way way better for the kind of movie it is, which is scared shitless people just trying to survive insanely intense situations. So good.

I kept telling one of my friends we should watch Children of Men because it's all good movie and probably about to be all too relevant again but we kept getting sidelined with other movies first. Then one day I notice it on her shelf as a DVD. "Hey, you bought that movie? I already have a blu-ray copy of it to watch." "Oh, I bought that years ago and saw it in the theater but I don't remember any of it." "...I, uh...I'm going to hold a grudge against you for a long time."

A gutwrenching moment was when the girl's caretaker was told to get off the bus. Literally nothing anyone could do. And everybody knows what's happening.

Movie is a classic. I've met some people who don't like it, though their arguments are unconvincing.
