November 4, 2009, Myrtle Beach, S.C. – Representatives from the IMAX 3D Theatre Myrtle Beach today announced that “The Polar Express” will premier at the theatre this Friday, November 6, at 5:00 p.m. Additional showings will occur daily throughout the holiday season. This inspiring adventure of a magical train heading for the North Pole is an IMAX 3D experience based on the children's book by Chris Van Allsburg.
To celebrate the premier, on Saturday, November 7, “The Polar Express” will play every two hours from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Beginning Sunday, November 8, “The Polar Express” will play Sundays through Thursdays at 5:00 and 8:00 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays at 1:00, 5:00 and 8:00 p.m. Adults visiting with children can participate in the “Bring a Kid, Be a Kid” promotion and purchase an adult ticket at the child’s price.
“What makes the film such a success is not so much the story itself but its ability to inject every frame of the film with a feeling of childlike wonder and exuberance,” said Steve Hunt, general manager for the IMAX 3D Theatre. “Through its imaginative and innovative achievements it can inspire those of all ages. We look forward to sharing this film with Myrtle Beach during the holiday season.”
“The Polar Express” tells of a boy who has reached an age when he begins to have doubts believing in Santa, until late one Christmas Eve. Tom Hanks lends his voice as the conductor of the magical train heading for the North Pole, who encourages the young boy to come for the ride. Along the adventure there are many obstacles to overcome, but in the end the boy receives an extraordinary gift only those who still believe in Santa can experience.
