ELEVEN out of ten stars!!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2005)

About an hour ago, I got back from seeing the Polar Express movie in 3-D at the new Jordan's furniture in Reading, Massachusetts. I have to say, it was without question the most amazing, monumental achievement in movie-making history that I have ever witness with my own eyes. Up until this point, I would have said the most "amazing" movie (and I choose my words carefully) was the Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (even though that wasn't my "favorite" movie, I have to admit it was absolutely amazing). Well, Polar Express 3-D blows that away.
I am a 34-year-old grown man. But I have to admit, I got quite teary-eyed during several scenes - not just because the scenes were sad, or happy, or whatever, but because they were just so AMAZING to watch, I literally couldn't handle it. I have never seen anything like this movie before. Even though it was 100% computer-animated, the scenes looked more "real" than real-life itself (if this is even possible). The colors, textures, and detail in the characters and surroundings absolutely blew away previous "wow, this movie is awesome" films such as Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc., and even Shrek 2.
But the catch is, you've GOT to see it in 3-D. You will NOT be disappointed. I will be remembering and talking about this amazing masterpiece of a movie for many years to come.
