New Delhi, Nov. 21 -- Clearly, he's techno-friendly. Robert Zemeckis, the director of the Oscar-grabbing Forrest Gump, has obviously not rested on his laurels. On the heels of what has been termed the 'performance-capture' technique evidenced in The Polar Express and Beowulf, he returns with A Christmas Carol. Although this may not be the best version of Charles Dickens' novella, there's plenty to marvel at: the wondrous 3-D visuals, Victorian England settings and inspired multiple performances by Jim Carrey. The script zooms in on the fabled miser Scrooge (Carrey, almost unrecognisable under the prosthetics) who is visited by three ghosts (also played by the versatile comic).
On the disappointing side, some of the subsidiary characters such as the long-suffering clerk (Oldman) and Scrooge's nephew (Colin Firth) merely come across as creepy mannequins.
They are the energy moguls who have made it to the Forbes list of 'World's Most Powerful Billionaires'.
