This was an average 3D childrens film. Children under 7 may enjoy it more. Overall just average compared to the Summer movies that are out. See Toy Story 3 which is much better than this film. Kids over 7 will enjoy this less as the story line is rather weak and the inevitably nothing truly memorable here.
This Movie is more fun to watch than Day After Tomorrow, but believability of driving and flying as the world crumbles around you is brainless fun.
Kind of like the old Poseidon Adventure or Towering Inferno or Die Hard. Great Special Effects, a simple to follow storyline and threat after threat and anything bad that can happen is drawn to your characters.
I went to see a movie of how the world would look in disaster and turmoil and I enjoyed the ride . I would compare it to Independence Day. With the EFX humor and action.
Both good Special EFX movie that's fun to watch period.
The movie is superb for graphics, as for this version of the story, it is true to the dark tone of the Dickens classic. The portrayal of scrooge was dissapointing, It's like watching a combination of Reginald Owens and Alistair Sims performance in one and is familiar and less entertaining than the previous portrayals. You don't get a feel or emotionally tied to Scrooge, Tiny Tim or his Nephew in this version. So at the end it lacks the feel good and warmth that the other versions provided.
