This movie is a fantastic family movie. The characters are likable. Lina is one of my favorite characters. The movie has lessons that children as well as teens can learn. The movie holds the viewer on the edge of their seat as they follow Lina and Doon on their quest to escape from Ember. The movie is great for all ages and very clean.

This film is a great for family nights. Action and adventure give this edge of your seat film the ability to hold the attention of all viewers. The characters of Lina and Doon show great courage when tasked with the mystery of exiting from Ember. On many occasions, Lina and Doon, can also teach valuable lessons on the courage to leave the darkness and step into the light. I loved the movie and the actors were great. Doon was just the way the author pictured him and Lina did a great job as well. It is definitely a great movie. If you are looking for a clean family film, City of Ember is one of the best.
