City of Ember
October 11, 2008Review in a Hurry: That ol’ liberal Hollywood bias is translated into a kiddie flick that’s Brazil for tots. Two hundred years after humanity is forced underground, one girl’s tenacious spirit unlocks the secret to her people’s future.
The Bigger Picture: The details are fairy-tale vague in City of Ember, and the fascism is PG-rated. Two hundred years after the mysterious Builders created a vast underground city “protected for generations to come,” food supplies are running short, and the generator that keeps the place humming is on its last legs.
The adult population, blissfully ignorant, go about their business, questioning nothing. “Ours is the only light in a dark world,” they believe, singing hymns to the Builders and discouraged from imagining what lies beyond their subterranean city.
