Children of Men was good. This was not.
It's that man again!!

The changed too many details from the book when they made Children of Men.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

Children of Men was about Clive Owens' character mainlyI did NOT care for Neo-Eve, (maybe because she was black boooooooo LOL ) There was not much interaction between the Neo-Eve and Clive Owens character on any level. It was mainly clive owens and julianna moore for a half of the movie and then she dies,
then the movie switched over to the army protecting eve and then an internal sabotage
And as one earlier poster mentioned, we have two strong female characters in Babylon, that counterbalance a meathead that Arnie used to play.
The meathead was a pawn in a bigger game, not the main lead.

better??? this movie didn't have any sense at all! it was completely childish

Ok now I understand! The original poster has just explained to me why rubbish like "Big Momma's House" fills up the multiplex's.
I wondered who pays good money to see bad movies.

Are you kidding me? Children of Men is the only film in history to pull off a convincing portrayal of the future.

No, it's not just you.
Children of Men was put together much better since no one was messing with the directing/editing of the film and so feel more "realistic/believable" to some people. If nothing else, it was a more coherent/comprehensible, not mention well-crafted film. But I'll take cyberpunk over apocalyptic sci-fi any day.
And the apocalyptic back-story in Children of Men is just as un-realistic as the one Cyberpunk one in Babylon A.D., if not more so while the near-future described in Babylon A.D., with the exception of sci-fi gimmick/device cyber-technology, actually mirrors ours more closely/realistically.
E.g. Some people living it up while others starve, great advances in technology which are just "technical" and don't really bring peace/happiness, etc..
Why do people who don't care keep telling other people not to care?

Children of Man is alot better. The realism in that one is far more intense. I guess you would say that babylon AD is better if you like more flashy shiney over the top eplosions and spiffy gadgets that make no sense and defy all laws of fysics, then yea, babylon is better.
If youre more into raw realism and inteligent acting, Children of man will be better.
Personaly I enjoyed them both, have them both on DVD, but if I had to choose id be CoM. Babylon for a brain at zero shootemup, CoM good drama.
And i dont understand whats everyone seeing in Vin Diesel, he just another dumb muscle ? He would never be able to play Clives part in CoM and be as believable as Clive was. Remember the burial scene of Susan ? Like hell Vin can do THAT.

Any last words ?
Shut the beep up

Clive would trounce Vin. He'd drink Vin under the table, make him smoke some Strawberry Cough then stomp him to death with his kinky Carnaby Street shoes.

NO WAY NO HOW

surface loving ignorance principle reason, more a less a staple to the overall feel? what are u talking about. please, dont even try to sound intilligent if your going to finish a comment with FAIL.
i didnt even enjoy this movie that much, but children of men is just pretentious much like those who enjoyed it.

Actors are not the only principle reason to enjoy any flick but more a less a staple to the over all feel. Children of Men is a good movie because it made me feel something other than the sound of the bass from a speaker every time Vin Diesel blew something up. My conclusion: COM= Win sltcs6010= FAIL

whats with all the children of men love? your all gay. you just like it coz you love clive owen.
children of men wasnt bringing an original idea, it was just like all the other 'planet it chaos' modern post appocolyptic movies with guns. except worse because it had an ambigious ending which ment nothing.
children of men sucked dick. masterpiece?? i bet you all think v for vendetta is a masterpiece as well.

There is NO comparisonhowever, this is one of Vin Diesel's better movies. Children of Men was a very intelligent movie and I usually am not a sci-fi nut. It was appealing to more audiences than the typical far-out sci-fi flicks arejust MHO.

Children of Men was a very smart, thought provoking movie, Babylon was just a dumb action flick, with rubish acting and storyline.
Fyack Yu!

it's official "you're an idiot" if you really think this!

I saw this on cable and am really glad I only wasted time on it. While there were some interesting visuals, the actions scenes were very poorly edited, the story was far from original, the dialog was stilted, and there were so many times I thought "WTF?" that the only way I could suffer through the whole disaster was to accept that this was just a mess and see if it could get worse. "Children of Men" was a good film, this was an over-budgeted TV movie, not in the same league.

First of all, beep! It takes a lot just to register and be able to post on imdb. Second of all, you're an idiot. The only reason I registered was to tell you you're an idiot. Babylon AD, though probably not as bad as they say, still sucks more golfballs through a hose than a bagless upright on an infomercial. Now, I like me some Vin Diesel in a flick every now and again. None of that Pacifier beep mind you. But this movie is just Minority Report + Children of Men + the Transporter = Futuristic Gibber(s+hit) If you really thought this was better than Children of Men, than you should probably stop being. I doubt it's worth it.

when you say vin diesel approaches his craft in a different way are you implying that hes an actor? i never really saw vin diesel that way. thats an interesting thought.

If you view the forum as nested then you can see who everyone is replying to.

If you were directing your response at him you should have said "@ Mermaid" or something along those lines. There are dozens of responses to the OP and other posters - we aren't psychic. If you had any intellect you'd know to do that.

Wall of text? I typed five sentences in total and proper grammar was used. I realize it's more than what you're used to reading so it's all good.
