Reviews

eboosel The best well done animated movie ever which has had family's so ohh ahh ohh hot chochalete

Cake15 I saw The Polar Express when it was first released with my family. I remember that my dad loved it and I thought it was TOO long. I still dislike it and think it's too long. The message of the story is that you need to "believe in order for things to happen" sounds like religious based instead of Christmas based. Believing in something doesn't mean that it's true, it doesn't mean that something or someone exists, and it doesn't guarantee that you will get what you want.

archer191273 If you feel the Xmas spirit like I do, you'll love this film and your kids will love it more! My daughter and I watch this flick every year near Christmas and it never gets boring. Robert Zemickis captures the Christmas spirit in this beautiful film about a boy who is struggling to believe in Santa Claus and gets chosen to take a ride to the North pole on board the Polar Express. An enchanted train that takes on an adventure that will be the night of his life. The visual effects are stunning and Tom Hanks is his as usual great playing several characters. This film renews the good old days of those Rankin Bass cartoons that we all loved for many more generations to come. Anyone who wants to make the holiday season special for their kids must get this movie. It is very special to myself, my daughter and any child who watches it. Well done and amazing!! Please make more Mr Zemeckis!!

Greenzombidog This is a children's film. Yet it is full of the kind of monsters that haunt you at night while you writhe sweat soaked in a bad dream. The death mask like faces and cold dead eyes of the creatures in this film are soul shrivelling and yet these creatures are the children we take our journey with. Each time one of them speaks their lips peel back to reveal gnashing teeth. Their emotionless faces hold a kind of unfeeling malevolence that is fear inducing. Couple this with the fact each of them has a voice of an adult it takes you to some surreal place where everything seems somewhat sinister and unsafe.The angular empty world this movie takes place in exists on another plain. Cold and flat and devoid of any believable life. It is somewhere I would dread to wake up in. The elves are terrifying spindly little legs and goblin like faces. They are more like how you would imagine Rumpelstiltskin to look. Their appearance is more of something that would steal your soul than build you a toy.Permeating this film is Tom Hanks, speaking through several of these characters like some eternal element. The big brother of this vacuum world. A puppet master using these automatons for his own ancient devices. But at the same time he is also the voice of our Hero boy. Is this some internal struggle a part of this all-seeing presence fighting against itself. I don't know. But what I do know is that at night sometimes I see the faces of these hellions in my nightmares and so will you if you view this harrowing piece of celluloid.
