Destined to become a holiday perennial, IThe Polar Express/I also heralded a brave new world of all-digital filmmaking. Critics and audiences were divided between those who hailed it as an instant classic that captures the visual splendor and evocative innocence of Chris Van Allsburg's popular children's book, and those who felt that the innovative use of "performance capture"--to accurately translate live performances into all-digital characters--was an eerie and not-quite-lifelike distraction from the story's epic-scale North Pole adventure. In any case it's a benign, kind-hearted celebration of the yuletide spirit, especially for kids who have almost grown out of their need to believe in Santa Claus. Tom Hanks is the nominal "star" who performs five different computer-generated characters, but it's the visuals that steal this show, as director Robert Zemeckis indulges his tireless pursuit of technological innovation. No matter how you respond to the many wonders on display, it's clear that The Polar Express represents a significant milestone in the digital revolution of cinema. If it also fills you with the joy of Christmas (in spite of its Nuremberg-like rally of frantic elves), so much the better.

Very Pleased: Warner has made big bang for the buck December 2, 2008
J. Spriggs (Eugene, OR USA)
I've seen the IMAX version and it's astounding....... the 3D surface to the boy's eyeballs with veins. Utterly amazing and highly recommended. br /Do not expect that from the home version but I found the results on an high resolution laptop or an 52 inch LCD to be quite pleasing for the piddly price one pays for the DVD. br / br /Here is what I think most complaints result from re: the 3D. br /The cheap, cardboard glasses are not comfortable......Be glad they provided them for 16 bucks and two discs. A bargain. br /The red is a darker red and is over the left eye....Most viewer's dominant eye... br /The cyan is on the right and much lighter.. br /So then..... One's focus, because the dominant eye has such a darker color, wants to shift over to the right eye being dominant......(easier to see through the much lighter color) (That's why a bright screen really helps_the red then doesn't look so dark and the eyes don't try to shift back and forth... br /This shifting of dominance between left and right really goofs up peoples comfort level in trying to view the film. br /I found it greatly helps if you try to maintain your dominant eye-view through the left side when it tries to shift to the right eye... br /Once you get used to this,.....The clarity and comfort level is much greater and more enjoyable. br / br /Thank you warner for making bricks out of straw....... Our spoiled consumers just don't appreciate your valiant efforts..

I bought this movie before on the HD-DVD after seeing it in the Theaters in 3-d and it was not the same experience at home not being in 3d and now it in Blu-ray 3d with the glasses and the 3d works great with brings the movie the experience for with in was intended for not 2d as the movie itself is a very good x-mas story to watch every x-mas with the wow factor to make it fresh.
