Movie Reviews of The Polar Express (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: A charming tale
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved Chris Van Allsburg's book and illustrations so was thrilled when the animated movie turned out to be as good as my imagination!
Lovely music and enchanting visions tell the adventure of a doubting young lad on Christmas Eve as he "dreams" of boarding THE POLAR EXPRESS on which there are other children and the only adult around, the wily and shape-shifting ticket conductor.
They're all off to see what the Spirit of the Season is all about and if there really is a Santa Claus.
I love it so much I gave copies to all my far-flung grown children to start a Holiday tradition with their children.
Movie Review: 3-D Imagery leaves much to be desired
Summary: 3 Stars
The red/blue 3-D system used here leaves much to be desired. There's a lot of ghosting (double imaging), particularly through the red filter, and few of the 3D images really "pop." All red/blue systems have their problems, but they seems worse on this DVD. Those snow flakes that ought to be so real you can almost catch them on your tongue are a blur. The magenta/blue system used recently on the home 3-D edition of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" is much better and has much less ghosting. In all, "Polar Express 3-D" is a disappointment, especially if you saw "Polar Express" in IMAX 3-D a few years back or in several annual reissues.Movie Review: Nicer Glasses Don't Work Any Better
Summary: 1 Stars
I just wanted to let everyone know that nicer glasses don't work any better. I purchased a set of nice high quality plastic glasses hoping that this would correct the horrible double image with the cardboard glasses but it did not. The image looks exactly the same so don't waste any more of your money on that idea. It's too bad, this was such a wonderful movie in 3D.Movie Review: Polar Express DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this DVD for my 2.5 yr old granddaughter. I'm taking her on the Polar Express train ride before Christmas and I just wanted to put something in her 'memorie bank' about the trip, as well as help start a tradition for her and me. She is too young to understand the movie but LOVES to look and listen, in between running around. I love the movie as well as the book. Good way to build memories for the 'grands'.Movie Review: Horrible 3D
Summary: 1 Stars
I love this movie but the 3D is horrible. I could never get it to look right, no matter how much I fiddled around with the provided glasses. Very disappointing.
