Review of City of Ember (2008) by Helen J — 17 Jan 2010
Although it had moments that it reminded me of "Logan's Run", I found the movie unique and entertaining. The young actors, especially, did an excellent job in their character roles. Bill Murray was, as he has been lately ("Lost in Translation" -- boring), was not as stellar as he could have been with his role.
Mary Kay Place's character could have been more refined if they had given her "position" in the community. We had to make assumptions. I was not bored nor disappointed by the movie. In fact, I had not heard of it before scanning flicks to watch on Netflix.
