On Wednesday night, my fiancee and I watched the movie, the Polar Express. It is still Christmastide  and we both like to enjoy the season as much as we can even though the secular world forgot about Christmas on December 26th.  It was a fun movie with a somewhat thin plot, but visually spectacular. I love 3D graphic websites and this film was like seeing a whole movie done in that style. The depiction of the North Pole particularly impressed me as the way it would look if Santa really lived there: old buildings with modern intrusions like conveyor belts, speakers, and electric Christmas lights. The plot was typical Christmas movie fare, but emphasized more than most the theme of believing and faith (even if it was in Santa). It is definitely a movie I’ll watch at Christmas, especially once I’m married with little ones, if only to be amazed anew by the evocatively beautiful animation.
