One of Greatest 3D Christmas Movie for all time, another one is Polar Express 3D. Excellent 3D CG, especially watch it in IMAX 3D.

I did not like this movie at all. It seems Disney is working a little harder on their special effects than the movie quality these days. Both of my kids said they did not enjoy the movie either. It's said when a remake can not live up to the 40 year old original. Trust me when I say, and this from a person who likes most every movie he sees, skip it, it sucked.

The new Christmas movie is in theaters, with Charles Dickens's story. It's funny to listen Jim Carrey who make the voice of an old man. The 3D effects are very good. You feel like you are flying. The characters are unique and a touch of humour brings color to the movie. For the best sensations, don't sit on the back of the movie theater. Also, it's a familly movie. The teens risk to not like it. At the end, the main character, «Scrooge» has a big transformation. He starts as on a old and a greed man and he finishes as a good and happy person. The movie shows a beautiful moral. Perfect for the december celebration.

Great remake of the Classic. Animation and 3D superb! Much darker than I thought it would be based on the cast (Carrey, Hoskins, Elewes, Firth) Both my 9 and 7 year olds found it too scary in parts. Overall, I enjoyed it more than the kids.

AMAZING movie. It's supposed to be animation, so considering how well it was animated, it was incredible. A MUST see. Jim Carrey's performance was great as was Gary Oldman's. Followed the Dickens' story very well, well directed and put together. Must see!

My 6yr old son and I went and though we did enjoy the story, he did feel it was quite scary at times; mainly the ghosts. After seeing the movie, I would recommend it to older children - over 8.

If you want see a good Christmas movie go see ' A Christmas Carol '. In this movie you can feel the emotion of Scrooge the principal character :sadness, happiness and frighten. The animation it's very good but the effect 3D is not bad because things don't jump on our face, just the character is not on the screen. The dialogue was excellent and very funny. I think the movie is a little bit scary for kids of 5-6 years old. The story is not original because it's similar to another movie and that makes me disapointed.

This is the first time "A Christmas Carol" scared me and actually made me jump! Amazing 3-d Effects and Graphics. Took my 10 year old, some parts were a little too scarry for her, but we did enjoy the movie! Not recommended for younger children though...

A tasteful, high quality update of the Dickens classic. Jim Carey & Gary Oldman deliver superb performances and the 3-D effects add magic to a great holiday story.

Why is it a masterpiece you ask. Computer animation is todays canvas and oil. It is the work of many artist and programmers who have taken 0 and 1 and created a whole new medium. This story is a classic and is held dearly by the green lighters in Hollywood and thank all the Ghosts of Christmas, that they made this version. Enjoy and Happy Holidays to all.

This was my first 3D movie and I loved the effects and the Christmas Carol is a really good story. It was not new to me since I watch the movie every year anyway, it was the best adaptation of the book which was the directors goal.

I was so disappointed. There is way too much animation and special effects. I believe that it takes a lot off of Jim Carrey's brilliant acting. I wanted to see Jim Carrey, but it felt as thought I saw a caricature of him.

I'd like to rate it 6.5. Jim Carey's character was well done. Scary parts for young children and followed the book exactly. Seen the play live and compared to a live play it is a 5 out of 10. Good show for the holiday's and worth it as point 5 as was in 3D I saw it with my husband. Go see it for a holiday night out.

This was an excellent adaptation of the story. Saw it in 3D which really added to it. It’s a classic story and the latest adaptation did not disappoint! I only wish we saw it closer to Christmas.

My 15 year old and I really loved it. The effects were awesome. I think if I hadn't seen the original Alistair Sims version every year for at least 40 years, I might have enjoyed it slightly more and gave it a 9-10. Knowing how it ends is just a drawback of re-makes. I will own the DVD. Do not expect young children to enjoy it. There are periods where it is drawn out and little ones will lose interest, not to mention some pretty scary and goulish scenes.

Very well done. The animation and the 3D enhance the “nightmarish” elements and are a perfect media for retelling this story. A couple of misses - I would have liked the connection between the death of Scrooge's sister and his animosity towards his nephew to have been retained and I agree with others when they say that the end was far too rushed - we are not given a chance to "love" Scrooge and his devotion to Tiny Tim as the years after his rebirth unfold. But, on the whole very well done.

I was expecting much better from Disney and Carrey... so I was dissapointed. The ghosts were annoying and the x-mas future one was much too hard to understand for kids - definitely not a kids movie. I loved the animation however and the Dickens town was very well done - the 3D effects are also wonderful. Unfortunately, NOT one to add to the x-mas movie shelf we have at home :o (

My husband and the kids went. Hubby was falling asleep, did not enjoy at all. I on the other hand thought the graphics was amazing. The Christmas Carol of 2009 is good, but at the same time it was not heartfelt like the black and white version it was more of a colder version of Scrooge. (Even though it was cartoon) Overall for my opinion 50/50. My 12 year old did not like it , but my 11 year very excited about all the action.

I'm always fascinated by these graphics; just can't imagine the effort it must take. This graphical rendition of an old story was a nice change in the sense that this version gives the tech prominence. However sometimes it went over the top with too much action causing a loss of continuity and keeping to the "moral of the story". Nonetheless, nice to have the people version and the graphical verson.

Very good remake of an old fav. Worth the money to see the new tech. 3D was also new and improved and made it more interesting. May be too intense for small kids.

This is a good movie, up until the mid point. Then it does stray in its presentation of the original storyline and I felt that it shouldn't have. I suppose a director can take some poetic license but it was unnecessary. This is a classic story. I also felt that the epiphany part of Ebeneezer's life at the end of the movie was cut far too short. From the time he wakes on Christmas day to the closing credits, it was a whirlwind. It would have been nice for the audience to savour his newfound joy for life. As for Jim Carrey, his voice for Ebeneezer was an exact mirror image of Alastair Sim from 1951. The accent and inflections were almost identical. I would even imagine that the director could have simply dubbed in Sim’s original lines from the first movie into this 3-D replica. I am not sure what purpose it served to have the first two ghosts use Carrey’s voice and face as well. It pulled me away from the character Scrooge’s soul searching. I found the same thing when I watched Carrey’s role in the Grinch. It seemed more about him than the character being he played. I like Jim Carrey but sometimes he is over the top and distractive. As with all other 2008 3-D movies the effect is spectacular and not over done. And I had a first today…I actually went over and told this young guy to turn off his cell phone. He was texting for 30 minutes straight. I think I will bring a small flash- light in future and just shine it in their faces. Care to join me?

I think this movie was great. It gave a good feel for the environment and feeling of Christmas. The only drawback was that I found the movie was kinda rushed, and ended too soon.

Incredibly faithful to Charles Dickens masterpiece. So therefore if you are interrested in seeing a very well done adaptation of his novel I strongly recommend you go see this movie. Just keep in mind this might suit young children. It is not meant to be a scary movie, but it conveys Charles Dickens imagination in a very impressive graphic way.

The 3D preview was amazing. I paid my money and walked into the theatre to discover it was NOT a 3D presentation. Sigh. I watched anyway, and enjoyed it enough. It's fairly true to the story as we know it: "There's more of gravy than of grave about you!" But I spent a long time thinking about how so many scenes were clearly created to showcase the 3D effect I wasn't getting. I might still go see it in 3D.

Good movie for adults, less so for children. The animation is fantastic. Refreshing to watch a "real Xmas" movie around Xmas. Very young children may get scared seeing the ghosts and many atheists and the politically-correct will definitely get offended by the mention of the word "God" and Christian symbolism. Enjoy this Dickens' classic.

I love Jim Carrey that's why I saw this movie, and I thought he played Scrooge very well. I did think that the Ghost of Christmas feature was more violent than the other versions of A Christmas Carol that I have seen. And the Children under the cloak of Christmas Present where very creepy. I enjoyed the movie and think others should do the same.

It was a really good movie because Jim Carrey played scrooge, the ghost who warned him he's going to be visited by 3 ghots and he played the 3 ghosts.

I'm not sure if some parents can READ, it states," Not recommended for young children, frightening scenes". Not sure why this movie does not have the appropriate rating. I heard children crying in the theatre because of the these frightening scenes. It made it difficult at times for me to enjoy this movie. Children under 13 or 14 should NOT see this movie. However there are many irresponsible parents out there that would expose there kids to this movie. Just because it is a cartoon does not make it ok for young children. Still there are not so intelligent parents out there that even let their kids watch Family Guy.

Special effects were great, Jim Carrey was amazing, but the only bad side was that it did not put you in the Christmas spirit at all. It was more of a horror movie for young children. Still worth the money to see in theaters, check it out!
