“THE POLAR EXPRESS”
Have any of you seen this movie? It came out last year at Christmas and was released in DVD this year. I wanted to see it last year. I rarely go to movies because of the time factor plus the cost. I think the evening box-office prices are ridiculous. Plus, several years ago I made a commitment not to see “R” rated movies. I have made an exception for two movies in the 8 years since making the commitment—“Saving Private Ryan” and “The Passion of the Christ”.
A lady in our church who works in the children’s department of a public library had borrowed the DVD, which she loaned us. The theme of this movie centers around…well, I’ll let you find out, if you haven’t already seen the film. I think it is a great action film. But the thing I liked most was the animation. I personally think animated movies are awesome. The move, “Prince of Egypt”, about Moses, was an excellent animated movie. There have been others I have enjoyed.
But the animation in the movie, “The Polar Express”, was marvelous. Often throughout the movie I forgot it was animation. The eyes of the characters were so realistic.
It was a good movie and really terrific animation. I recommend it for holiday viewing but it would be good viewing anytime if you want to see excellent animation.
