Just got back from watching the third installment of 'Chronicles of Narnia'. I was really looking forward to the third film...and it didn't disappoint. I actually liked this film better than the 2nd movie 'Prince Caspian'. This film was a fun roller coaster of a movie filled with great special effects, a simple and understandable story and some good acting. The two main kids have really grown up especially Lucy, and I also enjoyed the introduction of Eustace. The only downer was the fact that they used again the 'redemption concept' to resolve the conflict between good and evil. The 'redemption concept' really doesn't do much for the story and it actually brings the story down. There has to be a better and more creative way to resolve the conflict between good and evil. If they would have gone a different route here, that would have not only made a really excellent movie but also enhanced the story. That way the last battle scene wouldn't have been that two dimensional and predictable. Other than that I really left the theatre quite satisfied. I hope the do make a fourth movie with Eustace and his adventures in Narnia and that way at least finish the story of the four main children.
Since they only played the 3D version and the matinee ticket was $ 13.50... well it was fairly expensive, especially considering that the 3D doesn't enhance the movie at all. But I really didn't care too much about that, since I loved the movie that much and it definitely was worth every penny!!
For those of you who have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, here's a short synopsis of the movie:
Lucy and Edmund Pevensie return to Narnia with their cousin Eustace where they meet up with Prince Caspian for a trip across the sea aboard the royal ship 'The Dawn Treader'. Along the way they encounter dragons, dwarves, merfolk, and a band of lost warriors before reaching the edge of the world.
