The Polar Express (Full Screen Edition) Review
We ordered this movie b/c we couldn't find it in stores anywhere-out of season- & my daughter's other DVD hadn't gotten scratched & was not working. The movie was delivered before it indicated!
The Polar Express (Full Screen Edition) Overview
When a doubting young boy takes an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery that shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe.
The Polar Express (Full Screen Edition) Specifications
Destined to become a holiday perennial, The Polar Express 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. --Jeff Shannon

Slow Movie - Stephanie Fowler - Lebanon, TN
This seller provided me with a perfect copy of the movie BUT the movie is just not a great movie. I bought it to add to my holiday movie collection and was disappointed. It puts the kids to sleep. Just not that great. Tom Hanks puts them out.
Great movie, fun bonus features - A. S. Montgomery - St. Louis
This is a great movie and the kids enjoy watching the bonus features. Great animation and picture quality
