From the director of Forrest Gump,The Polar Express and Cast Away comes a classic tale of the miser Ebenezer Scrooge in 3D at an Imax near you.That sounds fascinating right.The idea of seeing the story which you once fell in love with in your high school curriculum.The story with a wonderful message.The story with the snow,the carols and the ghosts.That actually sounds fascinating.But unfortunately it's not.
Well no doubt the play has been brilliantly scripted.Zo Charles Dickens!We all love 'A Christmas Carol' and would love to recite the same to our children and grandchildren.And even the idea of making a movie out of it is also not bad.But there wasn't much scope for that.Perhaps that's what Robert Zemeckis thought and eventually made this animation flick in 3D.
Now if you are selling it as a 3D flick, you need to give the crowd some mind blowing cinematography and breathtaking visuals.This seemed to be a big miss.The movie at the start is very dull and slow.The part when Scrooge comes out all nice after the ghost experience is really exciting to watch.Those who love 'A Christmas Carol' as a story will anyhow like the movie.Overall it is a movie for kids and their parents.
