The lights are going to flicker. And no, I don’t mean the lights on the Christmas tree. Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will bring you to the City of Ember when it’s released on DVD January 20th.
In an effort to save mankind, an underground city was built. Unfortunately, the city was only designed to last for 200 years and time is running out. The people of Ember are terrified as resources run dry and their precious generator begins to fail. The city’s only hope is two teenagers, Doon (Harry Treadaway) and Lina (Saoirse Ronan), who must do all they can to find a solution to the city’s structural problems in addition to eluding the corrupt politicians, including Mayor Cole (Bill Murray), who stand in their way.
Even though City of Ember didn’t light up at the box office, it could be a good option for some home entertainment. With fascinating set designs and some exciting action sequences the film must be somewhat entertaining. The story, which comes from a book of the same title by Jeanne Duprau, is a novel and rather intriguing concept. Even if the majority of moviegoers opted out of this one, I might have to spend the $29.98 due to curiosity.
