City of EmberThe plot:For generations, the people of the City of Ember have flourished in an amazing world of glittering lights. The story follows two children, Lina Mayfleet (Saoirse Ronan) and Doon Harrow (Harry Treadaway) living in this city.Unfortunately Ember's once powerful generator is failing ... and the great lamps that illuminate the city are starting to flicker.

I love science fiction and this movie introduces a novel I haven't heard about before. Besides the movie itself looks quite good. I'll be happy to discover the underground City of Ember in October!
