Glad to see so many liked, I was stoked when I saw a preview for its general release...should be getting out to see it this weekend.
I'm a big fan of any movie remotely like this one (Blade runner, Gattica, Logan's run, you name it) and when I saw the special during the BSG finale I immediately wanted to see it.

Children of Men is excellent, and I beg you all to see it. Really inventive science-fiction movie-making, and I'm sure Joss would approve. Chiwetel's excellent in it as well, and his character has a fair few layers.
Sadly, Universal have screwed the marketing up ala Serenity though, as the film has taken very little in the US with minimal advertising and some badly judged trailers. So I'd take it as a personal kindness if you all bop along and see it.
Remember to stock up on cheery Calvin & Hobbes to read afterwards though, as it does get a bit grim! :)

Someone at Universal enjoys SciFi :)
I saw it . Chewie , I didn't even recognize at first . Good job with the role ! Went to see it for the Michael Caine character . Mr. Caine himself did not disappoint . Not a Clive Owen fan , myself .
Still a good , thought-provoking film . Thanks to 'Versal for takin' risks . Not as great as it might have been . But , it makes one think . Always a good thing .
