Prepare to enter another world when Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media present C.S. Lewis' timeless and beloved adventure. With the stunningly realistic special effects, you'll experience the exploits of Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter, four siblings who find the world of Narnia through a magical wardrobe while playing a game of "hide-and-seek" at the country estate of a mysterious professor. Once there, the children discover a charming, once peaceful land inhabited by talking beasts, dwarfs, fauns, centaurs, and giants that has been turned into a world of eternal winter by the evil White Witch, Jadis. Aided by the wise and magnificent lion Aslan, the children lead Narnia into a spectacular climactic battle to be free of the Witch's glacial powers forever! The Chronicles of Narnia, Narnia, and all other book titles, characters and locales original thereto are trademarks of C.S. Lewis Pte Ltd. and are used with permission. © Disney/Walden

Summary: Great Adaptation
Comment: The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) had many great special effects. I think it stayed very close to C.S. Lewis' original story. Four children get dragged into a conflict between good and evil. The lion in Narnia symbolized Jesus.
I found a new book that helped me find hope in this world of such uncertainty, entitled "The Enlightenment, What God Told Me After One Million Prayers: A Message for Everyone," by John H. Eagan. I just finished it. It's really great and deals with God, the creator, Jesus' teachings, and His Passion. It brought me to tears. I think the fans of The Chronicles of Narnia will really enjoy The Enlightenment

Summary: Chronicles of Narnia (DVD)
Comment: The Narnia DVD's are wonderful versions of the great CS Lewis series. They show us about the essence of living, loving and working together. Wonderful for children & adults. If we really understood the 'deep magic' of life, we would find true Life!

Summary: Excellent movie, excellent transfer
Comment: First the movie: It's a pretty faithful adaptation of Lewis' novel. There are minor changes but nothing major. Acting is decent, direction is good, and the special effects are outstanding. The novel was a remarkable children's story of redemption and salvation, and the filmmakers avoided simplifying it or softening some of the harder edges. There isn't blood and gore, but there are still fairly intense battle scenes. Great movie for families (and I do mean families, not just kids). It's got a story most children will relate to (wicked witches, annoying siblings, events that they can't entirely control), and it's got enough meat on it to satisfy adults as well. There's isn't any vulgarity or nudity or anything like that, although the battle scenes may be a bit scary for very young kids.
The transfer quality was outstanding; this was the first movie I purchased on blu-ray and man oh man, was it a good choice :) Notably better than the DVD on my set (50" 1080p samsung plasma).

Summary: 3 stars out of 4
Comment: The Bottom Line:
A perfect performance by Tilda Swinton as the White Witch, impressive set design, and a number of effective scenes are enough to recommend this movie despite the uninspired acting of its leads.
