Just caught Narnia. Excellent show, but be warned ~ if you go into the theater expecting a deep, moving, epic like the Lord of the Rings, then you’ll be disappointed. Narina, is, and remains a childrens story at it’s heart (no, I won’t go into the blibical deconstruction or the various Christian allegories, that’s for another time), with a simple story for simpler times.
Watch and marvel at the excellent CGI, if nothing else. The artistic creation of an entire fantasy world is a wonderous thing indeed.
