I wasn't expecting much from this film, but I ended up loving it quite a bit. It's a great kid's adventure, lots of mystery and action, good character development, and plenty of cool settings.Bill Murray and Tim Robbins do a fine job in their roles, but they are mostly supporting cast. It's the two kids who are the real heart of the story. I also love how the filmmakers created an entirely plausible distant future where beauty still thrived despite crumbling infrastructure. Above all, this is a movie about hope for the future.If you are looking for a good adventure similar to THE GOONIES, check this out. Great for kids, and great for folks of all ages who enjoy light adventure.

Let me point out right away that this is a very good movie. Interesting topic, good acting, visually very well done, very realistic ambience, good sound and an interesting story. The film is not the best, but it is definitely for recommend. Considering the lack of good movies nowadays (most of them are polluted by the woke and diversity trend), so this movie is good to recommend and even to watch a second time. This is certainly one of those movies that you watch and stay in your memory, in fact I'm a little surprised with such a low rating for this movie, in my opinion this is a strong seven, almost eight star movie!

I couldn't compare the movie and the book as I never read the book so to me City Of Ember was just a fine piece of cinema. For this genre it's more than just entertaining, it's just better than most of the movies in this genre. The cast was good, with smaller parts for Tim Robbins and Bill Murray but still enjoyable to watch nonetheless. The biggest part was for Saoirse Ronan, she did a very good job for a young actress. She played her character very well, to me one of the best performances in this movie. The whole cinematography was top, nice steampunk underground ambiance, perfect for this movie, good job from Gil Kenan. City Of Ember might not be very well known by the public but it deserves a bigger audience, it's easy to watch, entertaining and well made.
