Review of City of Ember (2008) by Stuart S — 08 Sep 2014
City of Ember tells the story of an underground city set in the far future and 2 kids who are trying to solve a map of how to escape the city. The world itself is not realistic and gritty like some films but rather childish and almost like a theme park.
While the tone of the movie does have some tense moments it stays fairly light hearted and feeds to the adventure minded kid. It can be enjoyed by adults as well and the whole mystery aspect of it all keeps you watching and wanting to see the end result.
The visuals in the film can get boring and when things do change you can tell it didn't have the largest budget. Some of the acting is bland but the 2 main actors played their parts well and really added to the excitement of what was happening on screen.
If you have read the book definitely check it out and if you enjoy a fun, light hearted adventure this should be a good watch for you to.
