City of Em-Bore

This just barely touches the peak of my interest simply because of how everything was done in a very slow paced manner. Although the characters were almost as colorful, it just looses the likability factor with how the story started from an uphill spurt to a speedy downhill falter. And this was really disappointing because I really wanted to like this film. Also the unfolding of some sequences is really half-cooked at times you can't seem to get what they're trying to tell you. The only thing that was somewhat redeeming about City of Ember would be the city itself. The look of the place is pretty good and cinematography as well was not too shabby for a film like this. Overall this movie would’ve been better if you’re holding the remote and pressing the fast forward button as much as you could to save yourself from some of dull moments you need not to see.
