Disney's A Christmas Carol, a multi-sensory thrill ride re-envisioned by Robert Zemeckis, captures the fantastical essence of the classic Dickens tale in a groundbreaking 3-D motion picture event. Ebenezer Scrooge begins the Christmas holiday with his usual miserly contempt, barking at his faithful clerk and his cheery nephew. But when the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come take him on an eye-opening journey revealing truths Old Scrooge is reluctant to face, he must open his heart to undo years of ill will before it's too late. (Walt Disney Pictures)
My second 3D film this time in a different cinema. I got a head ache watching it which cleared up soon after, it may just be due to my not being used to wearing glasses rather than the 3D effect.
I went in with quite low expectations and enjoyed it immensely. The animation and use of 3D seemed to work really well here plus the story was told in a more serious tone than I was expecting. My only quibble was when his change of temperament happened it didn't quite convince me there is something missing there to make that work. However I admit that during the final moments a tear rolled down my cheek.
