The Polar Express 3D
All aboard for The Polar Express 3D this Christmas in IMAX at Glasgow Science Centre!
About The Polar Express 3D
Directed by Robert Zemeckis and based on children's author Chris Van Allsburg's modern holiday classic of the same name, The Polar Express revolves around Billy (Hayden McFarland), who longs to believe in Santa Claus but finds it quite difficult to do so, what with his family's dogged insistence that all of it, from the North Pole, to the elves, to the man himself, is all just a myth. This all changes, however, on Christmas Eve, when a mysterious train visits Billy in the middle of the night, promising to take him and a group of other lucky children to the North Pole for a visit with Santa. The train's conductor (Tom Hanks) along with the other passengers help turn Billy's crisis in faith into a journey of self-discovery.
You can enjoy The Polar Express in the IMAX this Christmas as part of a package to visit the science centre, or as a standalone IMAX experience.
