Capsule review:

Robert Zemeckis’ visually immersive, emotionally uninvolving animation of the Charles Dickens evergreen features “motion capture” performances by Jim Carrey, Gary Oldman and Robin Wright Penn. Lost in the video-game effects and ghostly grotesquerie is the redemptive saga of the man who learns that his stinginess has spiritually deformed him.
