PRINCE CASPIAN

In this sequel to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the four Pevensie children return to Narnia, where an evil king has usurped power. Once again they must assist the Narnians and return young Prince Caspian to his rightful throne. It’s an excellent adaptation of the much-loved C.S. Lewis children’s novel, with many parallels to Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings ‘ after all, the two authors were friends. Seamlessly combining CGI and real footage, it’s a movie that is both intimate ‘ the challenges of young children growing up ‘ and epic ‘ the fight between good and evil. A great story, fine acting and nice production make it a very satisfying film that will appeal to viewers of all ages. Forget Harry Potter. This is where it’s at. (Lachlan Jobbins)
