City Of Ember

 

USA 2008, 95 minutes
Dir. Gil Kenan
Rating: [G]
Genres: Family / Fantasy, Adventure

 

Aroview: Dystopian children's fantasy set in an underground city of the future that is threatened by eternal darkness but whose leaders protect their citizens from knowledge of a habitable outside world.

Two teenagers discover the truth and plot to make their way out of the cavernous city to the sunlight above ground, also having to battle a mutated mole-creature en route. Top flight cast and production give levity to a gloomy story that spends too much time in the 'dark' to engage young children, though their older siblings will be sufficiently intrigued by the otherworldly concept and its labyrinthine setting.
