To be perfectly honest, I was unsure of what to expect out of this film. All I could say is that it would be a bit like The Golden Compass which is what it did turn out to be. The only difference is that The Golden Compass was a lot better. City Of Ember is one of those films that are visually amazing but doesn't greatly focus on the plot and characters.

When it came out, it was a huge flop but it was rather intriguing so I decided to check it out anyway. First of all, it is a quite gorgeous flick. There are some awesome sets and they have created a rather impressive world. The main issue, in my opinion, is that the movie was actually too short and all the sub-plots were barely developped. I mean, they got here 2 great actors (Bill Murray and Tim ... read more

"10.11 Tämähän oli varsin toimivaa fantasiaseikkailua, jonka parissa tämä puolitoista tuntia meni erittäin ripeään tahtiin. Visuaalisesti on onnistuttu kaikin puolin ja hyvät musiikit tukevat näyttävää elokuvaa. Ronan hoitaa pääroolissa homman tyylikkäästi ja ammattitaidolla nuoresta iästään huolimatta ja Bill Murrayta on ilo seurata Emberin pormestarina. Onhan tämä toki ennalta-arvattava ja loppukin on vähän niin ja näin, mutta en viitsi niiden takia pisteitä tiputtaa,"

" Note: Based on a series of books that I never read. The movie was plan to set up a trilogy based on the books in the series which never happen due to the movie bombing at the box office. "
