Summary: Polar Express 3-D is UNWATCHABLE
Comment: First off, Amazon should separate the reviews for the 3-D DVD release and the standard version. They are not the same product. I am extremely disappointed that Robert Zemeckis allowed this so called 3-D version to ever reach the shelves. IT IS UNWATCHABLE. I feel like I was ripped off. Didn't anyone do quality control? Someone has made a lot of money ruining the trustworthy names of Tom Hanks and Robert Zemecus. No longer can we rely on these people to provide a quality product. I am very disappointed because usually love there work.

Summary: Very Pleased: Warner has made big bang for the buck
Comment: I've seen the IMAX version and it's astounding....... the 3D surface to the boy's eyeballs with veins. Utterly amazing and highly recommended.
Do not expect that from the home version but I found the results on an high resolution laptop or an 52 inch LCD to be quite pleasing for the piddly price one pays for the DVD.
Here is what I think most complaints result from re: the 3D.
The cheap, cardboard glasses are not comfortable......Be glad they provided them for 16 bucks and two discs. A bargain.
The red is a darker red and is over the left eye....Most viewer's dominant eye...
The cyan is on the right and much lighter..
So then..... One's focus, because the dominant eye has such a darker color, wants to shift over to the right eye being dominant......(easier to see through the much lighter color) (That's why a bright screen really helps_the red then doesn't look so dark and the eyes don't try to shift back and forth...
This shifting of dominance between left and right really goofs up peoples comfort level in trying to view the film.
I found it greatly helps if you try to maintain your dominant eye-view through the left side when it tries to shift to the right eye...
Once you get used to this,.....The clarity and comfort level is much greater and more enjoyable.
Thank you warner for making bricks out of straw....... Our spoiled consumers just don't appreciate your valiant efforts..

Summary: 1 Star for the 3D Version!
Comment: My son saw that this was in 3D and I thought "cool." Not cool. We tried watching it with the 3D glasses it came with. It was horrible, not clear, lots of "double" vision going on. The same day I purchased some other 3D glasses that had good reviews and were not made of paper or scratched.
Here we are watching it in the new glasses...still no go. Still have double vision and an unclear awful picture. Watch the regular version and turn up the sound. It's a better experience.

Summary: The Polar Express
Comment: I bought this movie before on the HD-DVD after seeing it in the Theaters in 3-d and it was not the same experience at home not being in 3d and now it in Blu-ray 3d with the glasses and the 3d works great with brings the movie the experience for with in was intended for not 2d as the movie itself is a very good x-mas story to watch every x-mas with the wow factor to make it fresh.
