Overview

• The film is set in Element City, populated by anthropomorphic elements of fire,water, earth and air.
• The story follows Ember, a fiery woman, and Wade, a water man, who fall in love while attempting to save Ember's family store.
• The movie features themes of immigration, discrimination, and generational differences but fails to give them compelling narrative support.
• Though the visual effects are dazzling, the plot is predictable and lacks humor.
• The short film preceding “Elemental,” “Carl’s Date,” outshines the main feature.
