Review of The Polar Express (2004) by Ethan P — 30 Dec 2017
I don't quite know how Zemeckis did it, but he managed to create one of the most genuinely magical films out there, and one that fully felt three dimensional as I watched it on my definitely 2D television.
To be clear, I don't mean that I'm surprised it was Robert Zemeckis that managed to do this. I mean I really don't know what exact steps were taken to do this, and I wish more movies would do whatever this one did.
The action sequences (especially the one starring a very feathery train ticket) were so incredibly engaging. Tom Hanks' performance(s) were excellent. And while I understand why people might have issues with the visual style, I also think those people might be missing the point.
I can't believe it took me this long to finally see 'The Polar Express,' and I doubt it'll take long at all for me to track down and attend an IMAX screening.
