The aging and mottled water supply and gas supply pipes, the generators that are overheated from time to time, the dampness and darkness unique to the underground city, the bronze color and blackness unique to the underground, the river and the sun will not be seen in a lifetime, the beetles are bigger than humans, there are no telephones and computers, and the garbage is in the so-called wasteland. The suburbs are piled up, everyone has their own responsibilities, the almost socialist way of working, simple and humble, isolated from the world, fortunately, there are only small beliefs, the crisis of food reserves, the longer and longer power outages, the panic of people, no Thought-changing self-deceiving residents, selfish mayor of Noah's Ark and his allies of the rat who reside in the generator room.
If you want to watch a movie with high IQ and rich plot, or a sci-fi movie with dazzling special effects, this may not be the best choice, but if you want to stitch together all the memory fragments of all your childhood adventures, all The exploration and survival of dungeons, scenes and nature in sci-fi movies, all imaginary fantasy/charm and magic about dungeons, indescribable mystery and unknown, the special effects of this movie can all be satisfied! Excellent enough to be proud of, so that all the slots and bugs can be ignored.
City of Ember's first film didn't live up to expectations, and the second and third may never be. Everyone's childhood is short and precious, followed by passing years, white horses passing by, rushing for a living on weekdays, no matter how tired you are, there is still a trip/adventurous trip in your heart, breaking the dream of suppressing life, but there are very few that can really be realized. Little, so being able to see this film when I was still relatively young is not only full of joy, but moved to tears for a moment.
If the theme of the movie is to encourage people to think independently, to break out of the cage, to survive in a desperate situation, then I really see more than that.
