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 The World of The Polar Express

 The Polar Express on Blu-ray July 20, 2008
Not only is this a great movie for all ages, but owning it on Blu-ray is fantastic. I have had the standard DVD for a few years but the Blu-ray DVD is truly several steps up in picture quality. The colors are more vivid and sound is outstanding!
Fabulous May 5, 2008
I love this movie. It makes you feel like you are there or would like to be there. I don't need to just watch this at Christmas time any time is good if you need a pick me up.
Great movie May 5, 2008
Children and adults love this movie. I have a, 2 and 4 year old who love to watch it. We also purchased the soundtrack and we all love it. Wonderful movie!
Love it, but not for it's plot May 5, 2008
I don't think this has an exceptional plot. I don't think it's exceptionally thick. I do, however, LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that it gives me that warm fuzzy Christmas feeling just thinking about the movie. For that I give it an A+
Christmas Magic April 26, 2008
I LOVE this movie! I could watch it 10 times in one day and not even get tired of it! It was heartwarming and my favorite Christmas movie. I think it is great for all ages. If you are thinking about buying this stop thinking and just buy it! I love this movie (I think I've said that enough) I watched it a year ago on the T.V. and when Christmas came around and I couldn't stop watching it! Heartwarming movie about believing in Santa Claus and also about being in the North Pole!
