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!

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.

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.

User review rating: 0 November 25, 2005

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!!!

User review rating: 0 March 10, 2005

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!!!

User review rating: 0 March 08, 2005

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.

User review rating: 0 January 30, 2005

If you don`t see this movie, it really is a shame

User review rating: 0 January 12, 2005

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.

User review rating: 0 December 20, 2004

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.

User review rating: 0 December 18, 2004

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!!!

oh my god. this movie was absolutely amazing.

User review rating: 0 December 08, 2004

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!

User review rating: 0 December 02, 2004

An instant classic! I will see it again and again in 3D!

User review rating: 0 November 30, 2004

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.

User review rating: 0 November 28, 2004

User review rating: 0 November 24, 2004

Amazing!! Awesome!! Cool!! An "in your face" experience! EVERYONE needs to experience this classic phenomenon!

User review rating: 0 November 20, 2004

ultra creepy quasi-realistic computer trash, not suitable for any audience.

User review rating: 0 November 20, 2004

nah not so interesting

User review rating: 0 November 18, 2004

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!

User review rating: 0 November 17, 2004

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.
