Charles Dickens of redemption, A Christmas Carol classic tale, has been of many film adaptations made years. ? probably the best and most revered is 1951 Scrooge, starring Alastair Sim: the year Ebenezer Scrooge stingy primary last ?., Director Robert Zemeckis - who has avoided traditional techniques of cinema for motion capture technology - has brought us a new version of the classic day, re - imagine as a 3D "multi-sensory adrenaline." ? is a little stretch, really, but this animated 3D version of A Christmas Carol, starring Jim Carrey in the main roles of Scrooge (of all ages) and two from the ghosts, has a unique history approach - taking us places.
Adapted by Zemeckis himself, the story is the same, but the film benefits from use of the camera rain around through the 19th century London. ? Gimmicks side, the visual aspect of the film is a little better, since the "uncanny valley" was adroitly averted this time through caricature charactersinstead of trying to render the realistic humans (unlike The Polar Express and Beowulf). ? the sequence with ghost Marley is actually dark, bringing to mind the work of the Zemeckis on Tales from the Crypt. ? Carrey does a good job in the roles, never play it too hammy and his accent for Scrooge is deliciously shows Bitter. ? smaller by Gary OldmanCarey Elwes and Bob Hoskins are remarkable as well. ? still, I wonder what it would have been as if this is live-action 3D.
Help efforts score of Alan Silvestri, who uses a mixture of nice songs of holiday classic is merged with its dramatic orchestral moments, but it is the spectacular final involving the ghost of Christmas yet to come that packs a powerful blow with Orchestra and choir. ? its new main theme - in the end title song sung by Andrea Bocelli - is a Christmas. instant classic ? A Christmas Carol is certainly more effort than The Polar Express and visually seems better than Beowulf. ? still, it has to ask why Zemeckis is just mater combinations of motion capture and let his actors act. ? when he is out in the Christmas Carol sallesA has shown only in 3D and for good reason - it is fanciful, but fun and the 3D improves really experience. ? While the film is now on Blu - ray or DVD this is 2D (unless you are one of those few lucky to have a 3D TV and 3D drive Blu-rayauquel case you can view the film as Zemeckis for). ? It still holds, mainly because the story itself is such a classic, but many wild camera moves and compositions creative lose a bit of their luster in 2D.
Release of Blu - ray and DVD 2D has a small but effective number of supplements, leaving the presentation to dominate the disc. ? from a Visual point of view, the 2D of A Christmas Carol on Blu - ray is rock solid. ? There is an intentional gentle lightingwith deep shadows and many night scenes lit by candlelight, infusing the film with a heat which is offset by the cold winter local. ? Daylight scenes are packed with detail and Victorian London looks quite good. ?, but this is the detail that emerges from the shadows and blacks which is most impressive with this transfer. ? digital Audio is presented as a DTS - HD Master Audio 5.1 French track, which provides clear dialog that stands out nicely against mix. ? fully immersive sound effects orchestral Alan Silvestri benefits greatly from this track, all the speakers in some of the moments more exciting in the film ? above that of filling, a Descriptive Dolby 2.0 of the Digital Service English video track is provided, and the French and Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks.
Blu - ray release is delivered with a splash of extras, some more interesting that it is not. The main strong point is "Behind the Carol: The Full Motion Capture Experience" (HD, 96 minutes). ? that plays the movie with images of original motion capture - showing the actors in their suits of mocap "volume" - which allows you to obtain a stronger appreciation for the process of creating Christmas Carol a. ? you can view it with the capture of images in a small window against the films finish or enlarge it and have it full-screen. ? Unfortunately you don't have an option that the video full screen with the film mocap ended in a small window ?, you can watch this as well with a very informative by Director audio commentary and screenwriter Robert Zemeckis? this his first feature-length commentary track in the anneeset shows - while there are a large amount fascinating information and details on the process, sometimes it will be rehashing everything what is happening on the mocap stage and continually praise the performance of actors. He speaks as a bit of music by Alan Silvestri, including the new song "God Bless Us everyone".
The remaining bonus start with "capture Dickens: A novel narrative" (HD, 15 minutes). ? hosted by actress most too exuberant and not as funny as she thinks Jackie Barnbrook (Mrs. Fezziwig), it is a short but well balanced blow of eye adaptation of the classic Dickens novel and how they made the most accurate representation of Dickens vision a reality through advances in technology. ? "on the value with Sammi" (HD)(, 2 minutes) is a very quick look at the experience of this young actress Sammi Hanratty (girl Crachit) going through the motion capture shoot. ? "Deleted scenes" (HD, 8.5 minutes) we show six scenes that were cut from the final filma stage very rough development ? finally, "Countdown to Christmas Interactive calendar" is an advent calendar interactive by which you take the numbers in order (one for each day in December before Christmas), you get a "toy" virtuelet then at the end (after every 25 numbers have been selected)you have a scene. ? fully decorated Christmas
No trailers or promotional material for the film is presented, nothing on music (not even a video clip), and no talk pre-production artwork look of the film is provided. ? Oh well. ? that do us, however, obtain an interview "Discover Blu - Ray 3D with Timon & Pumbaa" (HD4)(, 5 minutes) we tongue on the reconstruction of our theatres hosts once again to take advantage of the latest technology.
Would not the instant-classic that filmmakers have been in the hope of becoming, but Robert Zemeckis of A Christmas Carol version is probably the most faithful to the original novel, providing a visual treat that immerses the viewer into the classic redemption ? tale a stellar on Blu - ray presentation is disturbed only by the lack of background extras. ? but A Christmas Carol is certainly useful to check if you have the possibility to take advantage of a 3D presentation. Moreover, it is recommended that you first rent before deciding to buy.
