C.S Lewis in all its glory

Rating: 10/10 (14 December 2005)

I'm still reeling from the shock! It must be nearly fifteen years since I read the Narnia stories, and the images I saw today were so like my memories of them! The film is simply superb, with stunning imagery, and compelling acting by all, not to mention a brilliant score by Harry Gregson-Williams. Adamson and Peacock have truly succeeded in recreating the gripping and fantastical world of Lewis. The images are breath-taking. Films like this remind us that many of us have never grown up in our fantasies. I walked out of the cinema feeling like I could reach the sky by jumping, and my boyfriend had visions of riding across a field wielding a sword. If you want adventure, you will love this film!
