Critics Consensus: City of Ember is visually arresting, and boasts a superb cast, but is sadly lacking in both action and adventure.

Reviews

Deep Focus Review

Rotten

The story’s science fiction foundation becomes nothing more than your run-of-the-mill adventure yarn, abandoning its thought-provoking ideas for something much less satisfying.

This enchanting science-fiction story has a female protagonist who's so courageous and smart you'll wish she were your daughter...

Gone With The Twins

Fans of Duprau's novel and those who've resonated with other Walden family films are likely to find much to like here.

Worth checking out if you can forgive the flaws.
