Children of Men is the type of movie that never got the plaudits it deserved upon release but has since been built back up as the incredible drama it’s always been, and those who want to check out the 2006 movie for the first time have a few options on how to stream, rent, and buy it. A science fiction masterpiece from the 2000s that went remarkably underseen when it first arrived, Children of Men is set in the year 2027, where 18 years of human infertility have led to war and global depression.

Arguably Alfonso Cuarón’s best movie, Children of Men, was critically acclaimed when it first premiered in late 2006, but in retrospect, it seems dramatically undervalued. It earned three Academy Award nominations, though it didn’t win any, and was not nominated for Best Picture or Best Director, and was shut out of the other major award ceremonies. While it has a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, it only earned $70 million worldwide at the box office (via BoxOfficeMojo). For those who want to check out the under-celebrated Children of Men, there are plenty of options.
