Very forgettable film. I watched it a few months ago, and I can't even remember what I don't like about it, I just know I don't like it.

We enjoyed this movie so much we bought it! My kids are aged 13, 16, and 17 and they enjoyed it as much as we did! We actually heard there was a second book in the series and are looking for it.

What a great movie. I watched this movie with no expectations going in and I am very pleased. I was so impressed with Ronan. There has been a buzz about this little actor and wanted to see her in a movie. I didn't know she was in this until she first appeared in the film. The movie has a fun little story. I won't give anything away but one point I love about it is the movie does not explain why city of ember exists and very little backstory at all. I like that it's a mystery and you have to use your imagination. There is also a little jab at politics in general which is nice too. I recommend this movie.

Yes, the ad said just like new....and it was. Still wrapped and better than buying at a store because we saved allot of $$$$ We just love shopping with Amazon

My 9 year old and I recently read the book and when we found this movie at the library, we were fairly excited. If you want to watch this movie because you enjoyed the book, don't waste your time. She hated it and criticized nearly every scene. They are faithful to many of the minor details in the book such as the characters names and the cities location and the fact that there is a box with directions on how to get out of the city. Otherwise the rest came right out of the directors head; I honestly could not tell if he had even read the book when he made the movie. I highly recommend avoiding this movie at all costs, it really is that bad.

After seeing Saoirse Ronan's performance in Atonement, I was disappointed to see how shallow her acting can be. None of the characters are multi-dimensional and the plot is very straight-forward, a little outlandish, and predictable. A good adventure movie for young kids though.
