this version of the classic Christmas tale is set in 3D by the same director called Robert Zemeckis who previously used this technique in his films The Polar Express and Beowulf.
Jim Carrey stars in a multitude of roles in this adaptation, including Ebenezer Scrooge as a young, middle-aged, and old man, and the three ghosts who haunt Scrooge.
A Christmas Carol is a Victorian morality tale of an old and bitter miser, Ebenezer Scrooge (Jim Carrey), who undergoes a profound experience of redemption over the course of one night.
Mr. Scrooge is a financier and moneylender who has devoted his life to the amassing of a fortune.
He holds anything other than money in contempt, including friendship, love and the Christmas season.
But an encounter with the ghostly figure of Jacob Marley (played by Gary Oldman) sets the stage for a mysterious and magical encounter with three phantasmic beings to help him realize the true magic of Christmas itself.
well worth watching !!!
