Adventerous Score from a Relatively New Composer.

The movie City of Ember is based off a book, and while the translation into film changes some aspects of the story, the music is able to capture the essence of adventure and the dire situation Lina and Doon find their city in. The music is able to instill a sense of urgency but also of excitement, leading the characters on the most important discovery of their life.

The score starts with the Main Titles and as the name suggests, the main theme of Ember is present in this piece, but it is more somber and desperate sounding, adding to the not-so-happy feelings at the start of the story. Lina Mayfleet is introduced in the score and her theme is a fast-paced theme, envisioning her love of running. The main theme is scattered through other tracks of the score, most notably in First Day, Blackout, Map and Mole, Clockworks, Control Room, Waterwheel and Escape to Sunrise.

One Last Message plays during the ending credits of the movie and it takes the main theme and makes it end on a happy note. Throughout the score the theme changed as Lina and Doon discovered more about their city and the way out of Ember, showing the progress of the Emberites in finding a way to survive.

I enjoy this score very much and I think Andrew Lockington has great potential for future score writing. This is a fun adventure movie and the score does a great job to enhance the feelings of the characters and add depth to the scenes of the film.
