Director Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump
, Back to the Future Trilogy
, & Who Framed Roger Rabbit
) brings the beloved childrens story to the big screen. The 3D animated version of "The Polar Express" is done by a man who has a gift for this particular style of movie.
"The Polar Express" stars the voice of Tom Hanks (Angels & Demons
, Saving Private Ryan
, & The Green Mile
) as multiple characters in this movie, and as always Tom hanks does an amazing job.
The movie is dazzling in its own way with how incredible it is on a visual sense. The story is unique and was always a favorite of mine growing up as a child. Witnessing "The Polar Express" on the big screen was quite a marvel.
I can not say the movie is absolutely perfect, and by no means is this ever going to be the first pick come holiday season for most people, but I hope that you do not overlook this movie as a choice to be had come holiday season movie time. It is defiantly a movie that the entire family can love and the story line is timeless.
Robert Zemeckis is an exceptional movie director and should be appreciated for his ability to take chances that go over and above the standard in the Hollywood movie scene. Zemeckis might not always create the perfect movie, but more often then not he delivers some amazing movies and ones that will forever be remembered.
It is time to sit down with the kids, with your loved ones, or even at school before the holiday time off kicks in and enjoy the marvels of "The Polar Express".
