C.S. Lewis’ beloved classic fantasy tale is vividly brought to life in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. While staying at a country house four children travel through a wardrobe into a magical land full of talking animals and are told that they are the prophesied ones who will end the tyrannical reign of the White Witch. The novel has been adapted several times before, however this is the first version to incorporate CGI, and it really adds a new dimension that opens up the doors of imagination. Some of the CGI is a little rough, but overall it’s used to spectacular effect; delivering a fresh, new creative fantasy world and impressive battles sequence, the likes of which have never been seen before. Additionally, Tilda Swinton gives a brilliant performance as the White Witch, and Liam Neeson is magnificent as Aslan. Nearly every character is captured perfectly, and the film’s tone conveys the perfect mixture of terror and adventure, with some lighthearted humor added in. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a fantastic adventure and a wonderful adaptation of C.S. Lewis’ seminal work.
