A Christmas Carol

"Exuberant movie technology overwhelms, then buries Dickens' emotional tale. (...) exuberant demonstration of the glories of motion capture, computer animation and 3D technology. On that level, it's a wow. On any emotional level, it's as cold as Marley's Ghost." 

"But while it's true that the various ghosts and geographically plausible aerial images (...) are arrestingly vivid, (...) the elaborate technique drains the actors of their emotional warmth and expressive nuance, rendering every moment obvious and uninteresting from a thesping p.o.v." 

"It’s always a good story, this time told more creepily than usual. Good, but not as good as The Muppets’ Christmas Carol, Scrooged, Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol or some great, classic live action classic versions. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"
