I was really disappointed in this movie. I've read the book and it was nothing like it. They changed everything. The book was... zing, but this movie ruined it. They have a 24 year old playing Doon, who is 12 in the book. It moved way to fast and the Pipes monster was a horrible idea. I usually don't dislike movies but The City of Ember is an exception. I'd rate it a 4/10. Skip it! Full Review

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

I thought the movie was great and the whole family enjoy it, the monster was a very large mole. For those of you that don't know mole's live... ound. 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
