Movie Reviews

TV Guide Magazine - 9/10 by Cammila AlbertsonA fun and moving family film with a subtly dark feel rarely seen in kids' movies since the '80s, City of Ember succeeds despite its shortcomings, not only because of its fun and inspiring story, but because most of its flaws are things kids won't notice anyway.
Filmcritic.com - 9/10 by Bill GibronWho authorized such a wonderfully rich yet exceedingly grim adventure? And who exactly will show up on opening day?
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Laura Clifford...dismal, dramatically inert...the film plays like Bee Movie in a bomb shelter.
Minneapolis Star Tribune - 9/10 by Colin CovertSplendidly cast, intelligent, graphically inventive romp.
Aisle Seat - 9/10 by Mike McGranaghanI found City of Ember to be one of the most pleasant moviegoing surprises of the year. Imaginative, exciting, dramatic, and even fun.
San Francisco Chronicle - 9/10 by Mick LaSalleThe story, based on Jeanne Duprau's novel of the same name, is beautifully constructed. It builds until it reaches the point that it's one edge-of-your-seat moment after another.
At the Movies - 9/10 by Ben MankiewiczIt's an unfortunate end to a promising movie.
Orlando Sentinel - 8/10 by Roger MooreBoth light entertainment and smart, subversive literature, urging the young to think for themselves, question authority and make their own destiny.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Michael PhillipsIf older kids and adults seek out this picture, which 20th Century Fox and Walden Media clearly aren't sure how to sell, they may well find themselves drawn into a subterranean world of considerable imagination.
ReelViews - 8/10 by James BerardinelliCity of Ember has almost anything one could want from a science fiction-based family adventure film: likeable characters, an imaginative setting, and a fast pace.
