The Chronicles of Narnia:
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
It’s “Lemony Snickets” meets “Lord of the Rings” meets “Doctor Doolittle” in this classic children’s tale of good vs. evil by C.S. Lewis and brought to the big screen through Disney magic. The four children actors are perfectly casted and are excellent. Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie are siblings trying to escape from one war only to find themselves reluctantly in the midst of another war, a clash between a witch and a lion, after being transported through a portal inside a wardrobe to the land of Narnia. The story is about prophecy, betrayal, redemption, sacrifice, resurrection, friendship, family, and love. It is good family entertainment for anyone who is a kid at heart, but it could be too scary for the very young. The special effects are great. It is a thrilling adventure with a good sense of humor looking at a new world through the eyes of children.
Alien gives it 4 “siblings standing side-by-side” stars out of 4.
