WANT TO BE DAZZLED?

Rating: Null/10 (2 December 2004)

For those whose communities are fortunate enough to have an IMAX/3-D IMAX theater in their community, there's a holiday super-treat that should not be missed by you, your family and your friends. I'm referring to the 3-D IMAX version of THE POLAR EXPRESS that is showing right now in many of the IMAX theaters across the country.
The stunning technical achievement of the 3-D IMAX version of THE POLAR EXPRESS is beyond anything that you could even imagine for a computer-animated film ... you will definitely be blown away! ... particularly if you are also into technical DETAILS. You literally will not believe the stunning beauty of the audio-visual treats that await you in this 3-D IMAX version of the film. Words are totally inadequate to describe the visual intimacy of a 3-D IMAX production of a computer-animated story such as this.
It is recommended that you arrive early in order to obtain seats as high in the center of the IMAX theater as possible since the film's 3-D projection places the center of the image directly in front of those seats; i.e., looking straight-ahead instead of up. If possible, it is recommended that you experience this film during the week when the crowds of are smaller. Purchasing tickets in advance is also highly recommended where possible.
This film of the popular children's illustrated book, and particularly this 3-D IMAX version, are visions of filmmaker Robert Zemeckis. He must be a genius of a most special sort because it is hard to believe that a single human-being could guide the production of such a mind-bogglingly complex and delightful enterprise. Every aspect of the 3-D IMAX version of THE POLAR EXPRESS is infused with consistent and breathtaking QUALITY.
