It's like you're on a misiosn to save me time and money!
Brilliant, breathtaking, a breakthrough you never thought you could ever experience in the living room of your condo. Forget the neighbors hammering at the door wanting to 'board the train' - it's yours to fly!
It was captivating and magical!
AMAZINGLY wonderful movie, best Christmas movie since The grinch cartoon
Sweet, but boring!
4 stars. I took off one star for the hot chocolate song lol. Other than that I loved it!
Absolutely one of the best film experiences I have ever had.Truly phenomenal in the Imax format.I would see it every year if they show it every year,and I know that goes for our whole family!
This was great in 3D and even on the screen at home.
i think the polar express was a horrible movie it was boring and i almost dozed off a couple of times and im only 11!!!! it wasnt entertaing AT ALL i recommend go save your money up for ANOTHER movie
WOW!!! if you haven`t seen this movie in "IMAX 3D" you have not really seen the movie. I actually felt myself sink into my seat as the effect of the 3D absorbed me into the scene like riding a roller coaster. AMAZING I am going again.
I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BEST FAMILY FILM I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME .I HAVE`NT HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME WATCHING SOMETHING SO MAGICAL,AND ENDEARING ,IT WAS SPELLBINDING ,IT REMINDED ME OF THE FILMS OF WALT DISNEY ,WITH A KIND OF OLD FASHINONED CLASSICAL FILM EXPERIENCE,IN OTHER WORDS WONDERFUL AND I`M BUYING IT FOR CHRISTMAS,TO REWATCH LIKE I DO ALL THE BEST MOVIES FOR CHRISTMAS.I LOVED IT.
Outstanding. An excellent movie that will get even Scrooge into the spirit of the holidays..a must see!
Well I haven`t seen the IMAX version but I just watched the DVD yesterday and it was great. It started a little slow, and I wasn`t enjoying anything until after (after, not during) the hot chocolate song on the train. After that the story gets rolling and it`s a lot of fun. Great animation, aside from the weird looking mouths everyone has. But I don`t really like CGI in general so that`s saying a lot, from me. I`ve never seen do a good job at "realistic" CGI, but Polar Express looks pretty darn good, overall. Two thumbs up!
How could a train heading to the North Pole picking up kids on the way, manage to miss the whole country of Canada?
UNDOUBTABLY A CHRISTMAS CLASSIC.
Polar Express was one of the most well done "graphic display" which enhanced the story line, and character sketch to the extreme best.
All movies should be in 3d!!!
What a great movie, I really enjoyed the 3-D visual effects and the great christmas story line. The movie made me believe again and made my christmas enjoyable again!!!
What a movie! It really brought me back to when I was a kid and believed. I recommend this to anyone or any age. And the IMAX 3D experience….what can I say, but hold on to your seats.
If you don`t see this movie, it really is a shame
Amazingly done. I have a feeling that this will rapidly become a Christmas classic. I can not wait for it to come out on DVD so that I may add it to my collection, even without the 3D experience. Speaking of 3D it was fantastic. I don`t think words can do it justice. When you sit back and see the snow falling you just can`t help but reach out. A movie definitely worth seeing.
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! I would have paid $50 to see this! Robert Zemeckis is an awesome director and knows how to piece together action. For all those who have never seen 3D with Polarized glasses, you WILL be defintely amazed! This is not the old chezzy red/blue googles from the early days of 3D. The images DO pop out. You have to experience it to really appreciate it. Manny, Calgary
All I can say is WHEN will the movie industry wake up and start making more movies 3-D? This movie was nothing short of spectacular, it really feels like it`s a big turning point in movie history that won`t be fully realized until we are well into in the future. Polar Express was the perfect movie to become the first full length feature- the use of space, the computer generated "cinematography" was brilliant . Although the ticket was a bit more expensive, I would have gladly paid even more to have seen it. As an aside, I had Chris Van Allsburg (Polar Express book Illustrator/.Author) as a teacher way back in `78 in college, and I can see
AMAZING movie.. I was skeptical at first and thought it would be just a kid`s movie, but it`s not! I loved it!! I remember having the book read to me every year at christmas as a child, and its so great to see it brought to life.. The 3D effects made everything look so real too.. I`ve been raving about it to friends and family ever since I saw it.
could use a plot line
EXCELLENT
It was a really good movie.
The words "OH MY GOD!!!" just don`t even explain it. I`ve seen 3D films with the old cheesy red and blue glasses so I was skeptical... that is until I leaned back in my seat to avoid an oncoming train! It was reflex - I couldn`t convince my body that it wasn`t right there in my face. Excellent - 10s across the board!! (The IMAX theater intro alone is worth the price of admission!!! :) )
Polar Express will become a Christmas Classic! It`s a great movie for the kids and extremely realistic. Sometimes it`s hard to remember whether you watching a cartoon or actual people. Also, the film was amazing in 3D-very eye catching! I would see it again. 5 stars.
If you have the choice choose this one. Wow What a show. I watched both the imax and standard and there is no comparison. All movies should be this good. wow imax and warner Bothers came though with this one. Best amimated film of the year hands down!!!
Stunning!!! Visually Entoxicating. A Memorible Experience. Thank you!
oh my god. this movie was absolutely amazing.
I wouldn`t see this movie on a standard screen and would not recommend to most adults because its strictly a kids movie. However 3D version of this movie is outstanding from start to finish. Can`t remember the last time i was entertained, captivated and thoroughly satisfied by a big screen picture!!!!!!
If you miss this one, you will regret it!
An instant classic! I will see it again and again in 3D!
With the visual effects, the sound and the hugh 3D picture,including a wonderful story. This has to be the best movie I`ve ever seen.
Awesome. Never been to a movie with so many children in a theatre and yet it was so quiet. Absolutely for young and old!!!
it was sooooooooooooooooooooo real!!!!!11
Amazing!! Awesome!! Cool!! An "in your face" experience! EVERYONE needs to experience this classic phenomenon!
ultra creepy quasi-realistic computer trash, not suitable for any audience.
nah not so interesting
UNIQUE EXPERIENCE! I was taken back to a time long ago, and re-lived why movies are a wonderous medium. The robert zemeckis team have captured magical lighting in a bottle, like The Wizard of oZ had in the 30`s, and delieverd a masterpeice for the new generation with this great story. I m completely impressed!
The movie in itself was fabulous. Add the amazing IMAX 3D effect and you feel like your not just watching the movie but have been invited along for the ride. The attention to detail is so amazing you`ll easily forget that your watching an animated film. I highly recommend this movie its a great family outing and there`s enough excitment to heep the older kids riveted but make the effort to find an IMAX theatre. It`ll be worth it.
great movie
