City of Ember (2008)
6/10
Missed opportunity
18 February 2009
I went into this movie without knowing anything about it or about the book. It started of good in my opinion, a city under the ground because above ground humans made a mess of it all.... And that's about all I liked about this movie, you never get to hear why exactly they went underground which is a shame and why they have to stay there so long. Plus the story started real slow and never quite seemed to pick up speed, it was like watching a high speed chase involving snails and turtles. The actors were good but the story the characters had just weren't that interesting and I never had any feelings with them. It was like all the actors in the movie had an equel role in the movie and that role was not to stand out to much.. All in all a shame because I really liked the setting.
