Chronicles of Narnia in 3-D!

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2006)

This is one of the ultimate fantasy classics. I was impressed with the amount of CGI that went into this, especially how well they integrated the half-human creatures, like the centaurs and fauns, with their human actors. Aslan was awesome, truly majestic, humane yet at the same time very much a lion. I got to see my DVD in 3-D due to a pair of TV Eyes glasses I got off eBay. They turn any movie 3-D! The inside of Mr. Tumnis's house was beautiful rendered in 3-D, I wanted to live there. The scenery was wonderful, from snowbound vistas to springtime forests, to the plains of battle. All of the creatures looked so much more real and solid, more fully integrated into the movie than they were in 2-D. The moral story is still there but it's not heavy handed. And I just loved how bratty Edmond was and how well the kid actor played him, especially after he had his change of heart and was trying to atone. I haven't read the book in a long time but I think the movie captured it very well, certainly better than most.
