Title: Zemeckis Makes Another One.
Product review: Motion Capture gets slightly better with every film that Zemeckis makes, but why in California's holy name does he keep making them? With Polar Express and this one, they are both stories which strain under his efforts to make them feature length through pointless lengthy action, over-dramatic pauses, and obvious hamming on the CG process.If you don't know what I'm talking about, then observe as you and your friends look at each other saying, "why doesn't he just get on with it?", and sigh loudly as moments are stretched intolerably. There's a "roller-coaster" sequence near the end that made me almost walk out on it. On the upside, the performance capture of Scrooge is pretty good, and each frame looks like a painting. So: hats off, Modelers, Lighting Directors, and Rigging Directors! Get out and support those guys, and look for the amazing, magical Geordie Martinez in the rigging and animation credits, and shout "HUZZAH!"
