Super cool set design and interesting post-apocalyptic world. The story is very simple and the clearly adult actor of Doon threw me off.

Good movie. My kids had to watch this movie for a school project. The kind of homework I like to help out with. Solid movie

Just awful. This movie insults the intelligence of the viewers. It’s even worse if you’ve read (and liked) the book.

Featuring decent production & a great supporting cast(tho sadly misused),"City Of Ember" starts out promising but ends up forgetable 5.5/10

It keeps the same wondrous tone of the book while translating well onto screen.
