The Polar Express
(2004)
Directed by Robert
Zemeckis this film based on the book of the same name has voices from
Tom Hanks, Daryl Sabara and Nona Gaye. A young boy unsure if he
believes in Santa or not any more is invited to take a journey on a
magic train to the North Pole.
Putting together a
simple Christmas movie this film does a good job of layering in some
hints of darker stuff under the surface. At times it does feel a
little bit like the plot has been padded out to fill the run time but
the film does have some charm to it. The computer animation is decent
but does show it's age a little bit as techniques have moved on.
3/5
