Um...

OMG AWESOME!!!

This is how they should have done the Haunted Mansion movie. Eddie Murphy and Jennifer TIlly were just ridiculous.

Uh, but yeah back on subject. This is so way cool! Love Jim Carrey!!!

I thought this was going to be a live-action film, not CGI.

The world can't have too many versions of A Christmas Carol, says I.

It's motion capture, so it's sort of a cross between live action and CGI. It looks like it's done pretty well, but there's still just something a little 'off' about the faces, particularly the eyes. Polar Express seemed to suffer pretty badly from that, as their faces just stretched in different directions instead of really showing emotion. I didn't see Beowulf, but I heard it had problems with the eternal blank stare and no blinking. Hopefully that's something that's easy enough to fix that they can get it right before releasing the film, but other than that, I'm pretty surprised by how good it looks.

Oh, motion capture...no wonder Scrooge looked so odd.

Yeah, staring eyes are a definite problem in video games, so I guess some CGI filmmakers have the same problem.

Nope! That's one of the reasons I refused to see the movie version of "Polar Express"--just plain freaky looking.

I've only seen snippets of Polar Express, so I can't really comment. But from what I've read, EVERYONE thinks motion capture looks freaky.
