It's busy, muddy looking, and has "uncanny valley" all over it. The character "designs," if you can call them that, are slightly (and badly) tweaked versions of the actors. What a shame. I'd rather see these great actors than the motion captured/blanded down versions. What is Robert Zemeckis doing? Has he lost his mind? <br /><br />Whatever it is, it certainly is not animation, and oddly doesn't even take advantage of motion capture very well! No wonder the press sneak peak garnered a lot of negativity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-56058594126469777472009-07-07T21:16:43.466-07:002009-07-07T21:16:43.466-07:00The movie is being made in Novato, not San Rafael....<b>The movie is being made in Novato, not San Rafael. </b><br /><br />Right, Novato.

I wish Zemeckis would go back to live action films, but that probably won't happen because he has to spend so much less time with actors this way. And he's tired of working with them even though he won't say so publicly.Hugh Hogwartsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-54796011353720556372009-07-07T08:23:50.751-07:002009-07-07T08:23:50.751-07:00I saw a trailer for The Christmas Carol in front o...I saw a trailer for <i>The Christmas Carol</i> in front of <i>Ice Age 3</i>. It's either going to be really good, or really, spectacularly, amazingly bad. If Zemeckis is going to fail, he's going to fail in the most grand, over-the-top fashion imaginable.<br /><br />So yeah, I'm interested.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-22173356476891023672009-07-07T08:16:29.763-07:002009-07-07T08:16:29.763-07:00Polar Express a brilliant movie??!?

Originally looking much like Max Headroom, his human likeness has become more believable as microprocessors have become more powerful. Today, because of the influence of blockbuster popcorn bullshit movies launched by Steven, the differences between real directors and these AI directors have become nearly impossible to detect, save for the that creepy dark soulless stare of their eyes. However, you can still detect AI directors in Hollywood - their films have absolutely nothing to say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-45695609609040016432009-07-07T06:19:59.862-07:002009-07-07T06:19:59.862-07:00the brilliant Polar Express????the brilliant Polar Express????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-90329889868488650532009-07-07T03:50:17.062-07:002009-07-07T03:50:17.062-07:00This movie look amazingly, they make like the bril...This movie look amazingly, they make like the brilliant movie Polar Express.
