The Chronicles of Narnia Review

Synopsis: The movie is based on the classic novel by CS Lewis. Four London children, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are deported from London to the house of an eccentric professor during World War II. Prof. Digory Kirke, happens to be the owner of a curious wardrobe. The four children find life in the house extremely dull, until Lucy discovers a wardrobe that leads to a magical world called Narnia, where animals can talk and all are ruled over by the wise and benevolent lion Aslan.

The others don't believe her at first, but soon all of them go through the wardrobe and discover all is not well in Narnia. The land is being kept in a perpetual winter by the evil White Witch, Jadis, who turns anyone who doesn't obey her into stone. The children join Aslan and the animals loyal to him in an attempt to vanquish Jadis. But while three of them trudge through the snow with some helpful Beavers to join forces with Aslan, the mighty Lion, the fourth takes a more treacherous path and falls in league with the Witch.

The musical score is appropriately stirring and moody. The computer-generated creatures are sophisticated to the point where the technology disappears and you begin to accept the performance, and not the special effect!

The multi-layered story of betrayal, courage, sacrifice, redemption and hope unfolds into a briskly paced 2 hour and ten minute adventure that leaves the viewer emotionally charged and thoroughly entertained.
