Additional Information
MONSTER HOUSE director Gil Kenan takes the helm for this children's fantasy about two young heroes who attempt to solve an ancient mystery in time to prevent their underground city from being swallowed by darkness. The City of Ember was built over 200 year ago, deep below the earth, where the destruction of a mass-scale disaster couldn't reach it. Equipped with a massive generator and vast supplies, the people of Ember have thrived happily for generations -- but the city wasn't meant to be lived in forever. The generator is breaking down and the supplies are running out, but two centuries in isolation have robbed the Emberites of their knowledge -- nobody knows how the electric lights work anymore, and nobody understands that there's something beyond the city besides darkness. Nobody, that is, besides Lina (Saoirse Ronan) and Doon (Harry Treadaway), two teenagers who still have the hope that everyone else has lost to ignorance and apathy -- not to mention a sheet of instructions left by the Builders themselves explaining how to leave the city. But the 200-year-old paper is falling apart, and pieces are missing. So with the lights threatening to flicker out for the last time and leave Ember in darkness forever, Lina and Doon set out on an adventure through the streets, sewers, and dark caverns of Ember to put the pieces back together. To solve the mystery, they'll have to get inside the Builders' heads, and avoid the grasp of corrupt Mayor Cole (Bill Murray), who wants to keep Ember the way it is -- no matter what the cost.

Good feelgood film to sit down with a box of chocolates on a cold night.
Excellent adventure film for both children and adults. If you ignore the fact that most of the residents would not have made it out by the method supplied by the builders it is well worth the watch. I believe there are a few other books that follow on where the story left off, but it doesn't look as if there are any plans for a follow on which is a pity.

Good, clean imaginative story for young people who like challenges.
A young persons movie (up to +-15) but lots of imagination, and a believable story line. Three young people escape from a underground city, which has existed for many years. How they did it required some special effects, but thrillling never theless.
