A Foggy Christmas

Rating: 8/10 (20 November 2007)

"The Polar Express" isn't a regular animation movie. That said, do not take your kids under eight years old. Robert Zemeckis inspired a darker trip into the night of Christmas, more mystical and zen.
The graphics are interesting, different. With the motion capture animation it continues giving the film an eerie atmosphere. There is a crashing feeling of loneliness and obscurity throughout the film. It's very interesting to see at night; and be consumed by the excellent atmosphere. I have rare goosebumps at watching this movie, it's potent and envelops the viewer to its dark atmosphere. The technical details are fabulous, the message is rather bleak. But I'll say it's marvelously told and composed.
It's not ordinary. "Polar Express" hinders on not falling in common places, and exposing messages of inner child composition to make the movie worthwhile.
It's a relevant trip, dare buy the ticket and take it.
