MOVIE REVIEW

City of Ember opened to a pathetic amount when it was released in the fall of 2008, to the point where few people have even heard of it. The movie, about a society that has lived underground for 200 years but is now facing destruction as their generator begins to fail, is a surprisingly entertaining and imaginative picture that will entertain children and adults alike.
