"The Polar Express", thoughts.

I love this movie. Watched it again last evening. The animation is amazing. However the Santa scene at the end is a bit bizarre and leaves me with an uneasy feeling. Any thoughts?

I liked it, I tend to turn off my mind on a lot of stuff related to Christmas as a lot of it is just fantasy. I'm a fan of animated stuff you can do amazing things with it that aren't humanly possible.

I would like to see it in 3D on a big screen. My little tv doesn't do it justice.

It is hard to get 3D these days as they quit making the TVs a few years ago and the 3D movies are slowly drying up they are making less and less of them it may be you can only get projection 3D in the future.

I thought the whole movie had an overall creepy vibe. Not really a fan.

There are a few 'weird' moments in the movie. Not sure why the film's creators felt the need for those, as the book is a very simple, lovely story with none of that included. The vagabond on the train, the creepy "broken toy" train car, the children getting lost in the city, the boy not being able to hear the sleigh bells, being forced to cross scary, high-up tracks and falling down huge chutes, the train car becoming unhitched and hurtling out of control. It's very unsettling! There's a lot of feeling of being out of control and on the edge of danger through the movie.

I still love the movie overall. It's visually gorgeous and the music is dreamy.

I love it also, but can't watch it without craving hot chocolate.. then I get that song in my head "hot hot hot.. hot chocolate". Sometimes I even do a dance while waiting for the kettle to boil. Not kidding. Christmas puts me in a mood.
