The City of Ember


The City of Ember - review - Part1:
Coming in October is another movie adaptation of a children’s book - The City of Ember. The premise of The City of Ember is made of the great stuff - in The City of Ember, mankind has lost the ability to live on the surface of Earth, and so in the movie The City of Ember, mankind has constructed a city (Ember); The City of Ember is miles underground for mankind’s survivors. Only catch? The City of Ember only lasts 200 years. When the time is up, presumably, the planet will be ready for humans again so The City of Ember is not needed anymore.

The City of Ember - review - part2:
Featuring a pretty good cast for The City of Ember, including Bill Murray, Tim Robbins, and Martin Landau (amongst others), this City of Emberlooks like a great movie for the scifi-minded children. The City of Ember might be just the movie to capture the imagination for kids of many ages. I’m keeping my fingers crossed this The City of Ember earns a PG rating to ensure that even the young ones can give it a shot - and of course I hope many parents will encourage their children to read the book The City of Ember before going to see the movie.
