Our critics review will be added soon.
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.
I was disappointed while watching when I realized that this movie is actually for kids:(
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.
Better than your average kids movie. Interesting concept, good performances from the actors. Definitely worth seeing.
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
