CITY OF EMBER MOVIE
It's not a horrible movie in any regards. And so, if the characters are bland, the movie is bland. And keep in mind, this is a movie that relies on its characters to keep moving. Probably the best character is Martin Landau's and he's only on screen for about fifteen minutes or so. Tim Robbins, one of my favorite actors, really served no purpose and thus his presence was nothing more than an unnoticed luxury. Bill Murray, commonly an interesting actor, was rather boring as the movie's major villain. It's a shame, for there are some great actors, including a few favorites of mine. The characters are all typical, two-dimensional figures who simply exist to fill up screen time and move the dull plot along toward the ending. I was yawning twenty minutes into the film and I did not stop until the credits began to roll. The film did not spark any interest for me. What they did not succeed in was using this set and its characters to keep us entertained or even generally interested. So the filmmakers accomplished their task at making a convincing looking, end-of-the-world city.
The streets are dirty, the people are often unwashed, and their living conditions are by our standards, deplorable. The city's name is clear in its appearance. There are some nice special effects sequencesexcluding this gigantic, over-sized star-nosed mole that serves as one of the film's boring antagonists. Visually, City of Ember is an acceptable accomplishment. In the movie, there is no explanation and so it seems to us that they just decided to build the City of Ember just for the experience. This is the reason why the small number of people construct a giant city underground. According to one of my peers, in the book, it describes that humankind becomes locked in an intercontinental war and is quickly wiping out all life on the planet. It's based on a book by Jeanne Duprau, and while I have not actually read it myself, I can tell there was a lot of imperative material left out when they adapted its content into a script, resulting in many glaring plot holes and enormous questions that do not get answered for us at any moment during the film's running time, which is considerably longer than it needs to be. The film tells the story of an unspecified moment in the future of humankind, where a few hundred people move underground and construct a subterranean city and after a while, their power supply is beginning to fail and two young children must seek the way back to the surface, which, for some reason, is forbidden. City of Ember is one of those films that had some potential and some good initiative but ultimately succumbed to the fact that it was poorly-written, poorly-directed and resulted in being flat-out boring.
