Profile of City of Ember

The mood of City of Ember is exciting. The plot centers around saving the day, a heroic mission, and heroes. It is a family, adventure, and fantasy movie. Stylistically, City of Ember is nonlinear. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. It is based on a book. City of Ember is especially suggested for a family outing and kids.

Summary of City of Ember

For generations a massive generator has sustained the needs of the underground city of Ember. But the generator was built to last only 200 years, and as its lights start to flicker and fade, it remains to two youths, Lina Mayfleet (Saoirse Ronan) and Doon Harrow (Harry Treadaway), to follow a cryptic series of clues that will restore light to to the place.

The Onion (A.V. Club)

Ember is seldom riveting, but it's consistently compelling, and its uncompromising literal and metaphorical darkness renders its climax enormously satisfying. Full Review

Chicago Tribune

If older kids and adults seek out this picture, which 20th Century Fox and Walden Media clearly aren't sure how to sell, they may well find themselves drawn into a subterranean world of considerable imagination. Full Review

Ember City is pretty neat filled with eccentric characters & oddball technology. A thin plot with a weak ending still results in a fun watch worth a look. View in a darkened room for full effect. Read and rate it
