    a solid version of the classic tale, but nowhere near the best. the acting was on point and the 3D animation was excellent to take in, but aside from being entertaining, the film misses on many things. it didnt seem to know what kind of film it wanted to be. at one moment its ...( read more)a dark and somber film, at other moments it takes you on one carnival ride like adventure scene after another. was it trying to be a dark and serious film, or was it trying to feel adventurous and fun. zemeckis didnt seem to blend the two styles well enough. overall its unique nature saves it from obscurity, but as far as a Christmas carol goes, there are better versions.

    An enjoyable animated Disney telling of Charles Dickens a Christmas Carol. Lots of attention to detail and with a slow steady pace that achieves the results Zemeckis was intending. Very true to the original (okay minus the CGI) and very Christmasy.

    First off the CGI and details in this film are phenominal, the story tells the traditional Classic tale by Charles Dickens and is brought to life superbly by the likes of Jim Carrey, Gary Oldman and Bob Hoskins.

    It?s definitely worth seeing this film in 3D if you get the chanc...( read more)e, not quite enough popping out of the screen at you moments, but none-the-less a wonderful watch.

    The rating for the film is PG, but would have to admit there are a few things there that may scare the really young a little.

    Two years after Beowulf Robert Zemeckis takes motion capture animation a little further once again with the retelling of Charles Dickens' classic tale. Jim Carrey is Scrooge in all stages of his life, and the three ghosts that pay him a visit, as well. Some other actors are easil...( read more)y recognizable, too, although some of their basic features have been changed. That seems a little off and sometimes you wish you could have seen the real Gary Oldman or Colin Firth. Then again, the animation is really pretty, sometimes breathtakingly racy like in the flights over London or the flight from the third ghost. The movie may be a bit too scary for younger children, and sometimes a bit too silly for older fans of the novel, but everyone in between should be decently entertained by this, especially in 3D, which is simply a lot of fun, in its best scenes. It's hard not to smile in the end, when the hard hearted turns into a good human, although you've seen it coming all along.

    One of the best adaptation of Dickens' A Christmas Carol - all done in stunning 3D animation. It looks amazing and is faithful to the novel. Jim Carrey and Gary Olman play multiple roles and do a magnificent job ably supported by Bob Hoskins and Colin Firth. It really put me in t...( read more)he Christmas spirit. A visual masterpiece to savour. Highly recommended.

    A rather impressive show of computer power, but unfortunately lacked that soul. It more made me want to watch the classics then watch it again. A decent effort. Impressive work by Jim Carrey as he plays... well everyone pretty much.
