Chronicles of Narnia

So I was convinced by my housemates that it would be a great idea to go see the Chronicles of Narnia on opening night. I had a feeling it would be packed, and boy was I right. The show sold out, and we had to say goodbye to a couple friends who couldn’t get tickets. (We reserved ours online.)

Even though I had to look upward at the gigantic, overstimulating screen while sitting in the front row’s center area, I thought it was a pretty enjoyable movie. It certainly scores high in the eye candy category. In fact, I decided that that was half of the movie’s formula. The other half was MAGIC. There was very little about this movie (or story) that wasn’t MAGICAL. From the land of Narnia existing behind the wardrobe in the first place, to pretty much everything that happens inside Narnia—it’s all both beautiful and magical. The CG characters looked very nice.

So, Eye Candy + Magic = Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
