1. City of Ember | Rotten Tomatoes
City of Ember is visually arresting, and boasts a superb cast, but is sadly lacking in both action and adventure.
For generations a massive generator has sustained the needs of the underground city of Ember. But the generator was built to last only 200 years, and as its lights start to flicker and fade, it remains to two youths, Lina Mayfleet (Saoirse Ronan) and Doon Harrow (Harry Treadaway), to follow a cryptic series of clues that will restore light to to the place.

Monster House director Gil Kenan makes the leap into live-action feature filmmaking with the earnest but awkward fantasy/family film City of Ember. Based on the best-selling novel by Jeanne Duprau, City of Ember is set in an underground society whose time is quickly running out. The titular city was built two centuries prior as a refuge from humanity but now the massive generator that gives Ember life is falling apart. The people of Ember will soon find themselves trapped in the darkness. Two youths, Lina Mayfleet (Atonement's Saoirse Ronan) and Doon Harrow (Harry Treadaway), take it upon themselves to rescue their doomed society.
