Read the book! Don't bother with the movie. If I were Jeanne DuPrau, I'd be insulted. If I were Caroline Thompson, I'd be embarrassed. She completely missed the themes, symbolism, and highlights of the novel. My friend had not read the book and said it was "so-so." The group of 30 adults and kids who did read the book, 100% disappointment. The changes they made were unnecessary and didn't even make sense. I was hoping for better.

I loved this movie. It had many similarites to the book and some differences! If you read the book City Of Ember,you'll love this movie!

I really enjoyed the movie. I found it to be a clean non violent movie I could take my grand childeren to see. and I really enjoyed that there was NO foul language. and full of adventuer.

This movie was so great I can't wait to see it again. I coould watch it many more times. There is so much excitment and adventure. I also read the book series which was also very good. Tell everyone you know to go to this move with you because thet will have so much fun and will be on the edge of their seats the whole movie. It is also a great movie for first dates because it is scary, romantic, funny, adventurous and age appropriate for anyone. But go see this movie cause it is insanely good and everyone will like it. Oh, and parents, it is a great movie for you to go see with all of your kids all ages will love it, even the boys. GO SEE THE CITY OF EMBER NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -NOBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been waiting for this movie for about 2 years, and from what I saw in the trailer it looks everything and more of what I thought it would be.
