"This was fantastic! Its incredibly beautiful, the sets are super inspired and detailed. City of Ember is awfully refreshing in that it has a very efficient and satisfying plot. It doesn't try to go above and beyond, but it really nails the childlike wonder in such a seemingly bland world. "

"Great movie. Kind of reminds me of Hugo with all the machinery. I wish they made a second movie."

"When it came out, other movies took the spotlight. But I love it. Unfortunately, it didn't do well enough for a sequel."

"An amazing film that's charaters are just as captivating to watch as the costumes and sets they live in. "

"Underrated in terms of family friendly sci fi adventure films. Beautiful scenery and an interesting plot. I haven’t read the book but I’ve heard it’s even better. Toward the beginning of Saoirse Ronan’s unstoppable career. "
