I just saw the movie, in my opinion the story stands on its own, the acting and all was believably done, and the visuals were great for the environment in which the story takes place. The description wasn't exactly accurate, the girl didn't have to jimmy the lock, for it was already open. Something made clear in the first few minutes of the film.
The movie is called "The City of Ember" because the city itself is the prize jewel of the film. Taking it out leaves a rocky action film that crumbles under its weight. But leaving it in and looking at the film as a whole, it's pretty good. I think it does show one thing though, no matter how innocent a population might be, there still a nature in man to be greedy or selfish, traits seen in some of the characters.
Overall, It was interesting movie. Not particularly thrilling but the storyline moved quickly with a satisfying ending. This is a safe movie for the whole family, though real young children may not enjoy it.
