Great meaning

Rating: 7/10 (6 November 2004)

Let me start off by saying that I loved the book ever since I was younger. I have always thought that it carried a beautiful meaning that needed to be shown in the movie in order for it to be considered The Polar Express. The movie is wonderfully done and quite enjoyable. Of course the visuals were purely amazing and just breathtaking. That was plainly obvious. And I know that additions needed to be made so that this could be made into a movie, but some of them were unnecessary, and I was waiting for those scenes to be over so that the good parts would be shown. Then again, I knew what was going to happen. But judging as a movie, it was great overall. It is not only about Christmas, but about the things in front of us that we choose not to see. The film is great for children as well as adults who carry the Christmas spirit in their hearts =)
