ONE OF THE GREAT SCI-FI FILMS OF OUR TIME!! Children of Men Full Reaction Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects - Save & Invest In Your Future Today, visit: https://www.acorns.com/rejects Children of Men Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Roxy Striar & John Humphrey as they plunge into Alfonso Cuarón’s haunting dystopia Children of Men (2006). In a world where human infertility has led to societal collapse, disillusioned bureaucrat Theo Faron (Clive Owen, Sin City, The Bourne Ultimatum) is roped into escorting Kee (Clare-Hope Ashitey, Africa United, Resident Evil), a miraculously pregnant refugee, to safety. Along the way, they’re shadowed by Julian Taylor (Julianne Moore, Boogie Nights, Still Alice), the fierce former activist intent on safeguarding humanity’s last hope, and pressured by militant enforcer Luke (Chiwetel Ejiofor, 12 Years a Slave, Doctor Strange). Veteran activist Jasper Palmer (Michael Caine, The Dark Knight, The Cider House Rules) provides crucial refuge—and the film’s bleak, immersive vision of 2027 Britain is punctuated by stunning long-take set pieces: the devastating car ambush, the desperate street massacre in the refugee camp, and the epic Bexhill Beach battle shot in one continuous, unbroken shot. Don’t miss Roxy & John’s breakdown of these iconic scenes, the film’s relentless tension, and its powerful themes of hope, redemption, and the fight for humanity’s future! #ChildrenOfMen #CliveOwen #JulianneMoore #ChiwetelEjiofor #MichaelCaine #AlfonsoCuaron #SciFiThriller #DystopianCinema #LongTakeScenes #MovieReaction #ReactionReview #RoxyStriar #JohnHumphrey #Film #Movie #Movies #Cinema #React #ReactTo #Reaction The Book of Eli (2010) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/GWtZWbF9rTY Civil War (2024) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/JNkCoNREc9k Sinners (2025) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/cu1bcprLdYY Arrival (2015) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/MmhmHevTD3Q Snowpiercer (2013) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/8t-VNRr2WlM 0:00 Leave a LIKE! 02:08 Children of Men Reaction 33:51 ACORNS 35:27 Children of Men Movie Reaction 01:00:39 Children of Men Review 01:28:37 Patreon Shoutout Follow Roxy Striar: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWhirlGirls Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/roxystriar/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/roxystriar Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Aparrel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ POWERED BY @GFUEL Visit https://gfuel.ly/3wD5Ygo and use code REJECTNATION for 20% off select tubs!!

It was Michael Caine’s wife in that photo. The headline said something like, ‘MI5 deny any involvement in torture of photojournalist.’

The idea that Clive Owen wasn't nominated for an Academy Award stuns me. Some of his quiet moments are heartbreaking.

I've worked on few movies and to this day, you still see crew members wearing the Children of Men crew jackets. They're all really proud of this movie

i watched "Children of Men" blind and was blown away by the experience, one of the best film experiences of all time. Such a clever, simple, sci-fi concept and execution that respects the audience's intelligence and humanity. Wish we had tons of movies like this.

Did you notice that every time an animal was in a scene, they were drawn towards Clive Owen. They sensed he had a kind soul.
