    Good cast and an interesting premise, but just didn't feel it delivered.

    Very poor movie. No strong characters. Bill Murray is dissapointing. It plods along at a boring pace. Doesn't have much to hold your attention. Uninteresting for kids or adults

    Far better than I expected. Not just a kids movie either but it's a good attempt. Great acting by Saoirse Ronan.

    City of Ember is one of those films that had some potential and some good initiative but ultimately succumbed to the fact that it was poorly-written, poorly-directed and resulted in being flat-out boring.

    I saw this movie on the second day and actually it isn't one you couldn't see twice, there are some scenes of mild peril. It is maybe one that children would like
