Too many plot holes

Ottilie 2022-04-19 09:02:21

I really like the atmosphere of the underground city created by Shimmer City, but the plot is average and there are some loopholes.
Most importantly, why should the plan to escape the city be kept secretly sealed by the mayor, and will it be made public from the very beginning? Let everyone in the city know that 200 years is a time limit and will return to the ground later in the future.
When the city was built, didn't everyone know that the city was doomed to die?
Moreover, 200 years is not a very long history, how can these people forget it?

    Why do you want to live underground for 200 years, and a good movie is ruined by this loophole...

    I love the narration and plot at the beginning and end, I hate the special effects in it, too

  • Doon Harrow: The Generator's our only source of power. If it goes, we all go.

    Loris Harrow: That's dramatic.

    Doon Harrow: Dad, this place is falling apart. I will not sit around while Ember collapses. I am getting in to that generator, whatever it takes.

    Lina Mayfleet: Why would he risk being thrown in jail, when everyone knows it's against the law to go out there?
