Finally another movie the whole family can sit and watch and not flinch because of some foul language or actions. This was totally fun to watch and... as intriguing scenery and story. This has excellent characters and Bill Murray was perfect for his role as usual. I wish there were more movies like this to choose from. I highly recommend this movie and hope everyone else feels the same way and rates it as high as I have. Full Review

An impressive and imaginative fantasy.Full Review

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

City of Ember has almost anything one could want from a science fiction-based family adventure film: likeable characters, an imaginative setting, and a fast pace.Full Review

It's not an entirely convincing trip, but it is the sort of satisfying movie you wished they would make more often.Full Review
