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

Linda Cook

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

It's difficult not to become immersed in the fun of uncovering clues and discovering secrets in a society and landscape with few caps on creativity.

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.

The movie benefits from solid performances from Tim Robbins as Doon's dad and Martin Landau as Doon's elderly boss. The design teams successfully bring the city to life.
