**1/2 – I need to start being a little more careful about the genre that movies are listed under when I’m adding stuff to my Netflix queue. This is about the 3rd or 4th time that I’ve gotten burned by adding something that sounded really good from the description, but ends up being a kids’ movie categorized as “Children & Family”. I don’t necessarily have a problem watching what is considered a ‘kid movie’, but in order for it to be really enjoyable it has to be less formulaic and dumbed-down than a movie like this one was. The only real saving graces for “City of Ember” were the presence of Bill Murray and the fact that it had some really nice backgrounds and design work. Other than that, it was just dull and predictable.
