Cinematics doesn't compare to Rings', but excels it in subject.

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2005)

There are some screen shots that take you right out of the movie and back into the reality of sitting in a theater with a few hundred people. There was one scene when the children and lion were atop a mountain looking beyond and the wilderness behind them looked as fictional as a Saturday Night Live background.
I wanted to feel removed from the theater, experiencing a story, as I had with the recent Potter (Goblet of Fire) movie. That said, NArnia's story is head and shoulders above Rings and Potter in subject. There could be no Potter or Rings story w/out the delineation of good and evil realized by Narnia's subject matter. Narnia predates Potter by decades, and its first installment of Narnia (Lion, Witch, Wardrobe) was published at least four years before Rings was first released.
