Beyond A Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2006)

This movie gave me great hopes when it comes to film-making. I wasn't as excited about seeing it as I was with other movies, but now I am glad that I hadn't missed this in the theaters.
It started out with the air-raids... and this particular scene told me this film was going to be interesting, so my bored expectations were only shattered by a quarter. I was fully watching the movie after this scene. After the air-raids, the Pevensies are getting ready to leave their mother and when the train starts leaving the station, hauntingly beautiful music plays, and the rest of my bored expectations were shattered. I was transfixed!!
From then on I was given a beautiful rendition of the book in this surround-sound theater. You would expect that right after the second scene I would think the rest of the movie was horrible, but on the contrary... I dared not blink for I was afraid I would miss anymore of this beauty. This movie kept me watching until the end, and caused me to find myself sitting in my seat in shock. I was THAT surprised.
The music is beautiful. The make-up, the CG effects, the animals were so realistic... I didn't once find them fake. The acting is superb and this movie is such an awesome replica of the book. There is some creative aspects that weren't exactly also in the book, which made it that much better.
I definitely recommend this to big fantasy fans (and even SLIGHT fantasy fans) and children. They will love this movie as much as I do.
10 out of 10, by far. I would give it more, but ten is the limit. Oh well, I'll take what I can get..
