The Polar Express movie

[Anonymous]

"Polar Express" is DOA. It grossed 30 million in the first week. The cost of the movie was 135 million and the cost of marketing was 35 million, so the opening grosses did not cover the ad campaign. It will now face stiff competition from new releases for the holidays. Tom Hanks is distancing himself from the movie and plugging "The DaVinci File", a potential blockbuster.

My wife, son and I watched it last Sunday. We thought it was great. I pulled out the book when I got home, and found that they did a great job being true to the original art work, and basic story line. We are planning on seeing it again at the Imax. I believe that it will become classic holiday movie fare, similar to "Miricle on 34th Street", "White Chritmas", etc.

Hey Ya'll

I have seen it 2 times and I absolutly love it. If I could rate this 1,000,000,000 to 1
I'd rate it 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

I first saw it at a sneek peek the Saturday before it was released, and the sturday afetr that (last saturday, by the way, I am writing this on 11-17-04) and our churches youth group is going to see it this sunday.

My gopal is to see it at least 10 times (WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO) and at least 2 timas at Imax. I think it will be a good 3D movie, as the graphics and actions are what you'd expect in the movie. It'll be thrilling to see the face of Flat Top Tunnel zooming right at you like you are skiing on it.

The wife & I took our two kids to see it on Sunday and we all loved it. We might take the kids to go see it in IMAX 3D this weekend.

And the kids want us to buy it when it comes out on DVD. Can you say "Familyi Tradition?"

Saw it Sunday with my 8 year old Grandson. He gave it 4 out of 5 stars!

What more can a Grandpa ask for?

I saw it yesterday and absolutely loved it. For me it was pure Christmas. I got chills when the train emerged from the steam cloud in front of the boys house. My kids loved it too. I imagine we'll be making an encore visit to see it again. I am sure it will become a holiday tradition in my home for many years to come.

It looks like fun - interestingly both my movie-going-age children expressed a stronger preference for its competition...The Incredibles. But we're going, dang it, if only to see that train pull up to the house on the big screen. I really want to see the IMAX version at Navy Pier but that's too much of a hassle to get to...

Have you seen it? What are your thoughts on it?
