Review of City of Ember (2008) by Simon V — 21 Apr 2009
Stunning visuals with a nice use of colours to brighten a drab setting coupled with exquisite sets, goes a little way in saving this movie. negatives include a storyline that seems very rushed, stop and go action, and a mystery that is all too easily solved.
the way out also seems a bit ridiculous, a river would be heading down, further into the ground, but they seem to have risen with the ride in the boat. also, isn't the river a little too crazy for a "safe" passage out?
