Every now and then a film comes along that makes you want to be a better person. This is one of those films. One of the most heart-felt and redemptive stories I've seen in some time. Occasionally, the low budget does show, but what they were able to accomplish on their shoestring budget is actually quite amazing.
To be honest, I almost turned it off after the first 30 minutes or so. It takes a little while to get going and for the audience to get a sense of the direction it's heading. A few of the earlier scenes are a little jarring and occasionally cheesy, too. But about half way through the movie there is a scene that stands apart as one of the very best scenes ever put on film. A scene which changes the trajectory of the whole movie and begins to weave the threads together. The climactic scene of the film is another one that just blew me away. I was literally watching it through tears. You'll know these two scenes when you see them.
So I implore you to persevere through the first half of the movie as it gets a whole lot better. And the first half of the film is a lot better on subsequent viewings when you know in advance where it's headed. The cinematography is great, most of the performances (especially the main character) are solid, the soundtrack is excellent. Overall it's a very well made film, but more than this it's just a very powerful story that needs to be seen... especially if you're a father.

I'm not one for long reviews, so let me just say that this was a truly magical film that engaged the child in me that first fell in love with these stories. It was a VERY faithful adaptation that was true to the heart of the story, while actually adding more depth to the characters and their interactions than there was in the book. The seamless effects and perfectly cast children really whisked me away to Narnia and made me forget I was watching a film. The young lady who played Lucy in particular was a wonderful actor through whose eyes you couldn't help but view the events that unfolded. A must-see for your whole family (except possibly for very young children due to a few dark and disturbing scenes).
