I enjoyed this movie very much. It was interesting and well acted. A bit predictable but the journey there was good enough.

My son has read the entire series of City of Ember books and he was dying to see this movie. I took him for that reason, although was not expexctiing to enjoy the movie myself. I was definitely in for a welcome surprise! Although a little hard to follow at first, the movie was exciting and had a great story line. Awesome special effects, wonderful cast of characters, well written script. According to my son, there were definite differences between the book and the movie, however not very many and personally, from the differences he explained to me, the differences in the movie sounded far more exciting than what was written in the book. Will buy City of Ember when it comes out on DVD.

While I haven't read the book I can tell you that I was very pleasantly surprised about how pleased I was with this movie. I also don't understand some of the mixed reviews from the professional critics as well. I like the concept and look of this film. It was time well-spent at a theater!

My 4 year old daughter was glued to the screen. I enjoyed the leason that you can do anything as long as you try and continue to persue your dreams. I think my daughter liked the action and the fact that the kids were heros. I know later on in life she will understand what the real leason was.

great sci fi for pre teens and teens. Might turn them on to te wonderful book that is the first in a series.
