Sat, 17 Dec 2005 I went and saw Chronicles of Narnia tonight, and it made me way happy. My older sister called me last weekend to tell me that she'd gone and seen it, and recommended that I do so as well. See, when we were little, my sisters and I loved the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe—and the new version stands up to the test of memory-inflated-over-time. Visuals get two thumbs up. The special effects were done by Industrial Light and Magic (Lucasfilms's CG/makeup/effects house), and they were everything you'd expect. Best visual in the whole thing, for me, was the brief phoenix animation in the middle of the big battle. Tilda Swinton was great as the White Witch, Liam Neeson's voice acting as Aslan was everything you'd expect it to be, and (as I managed to call in the theater!) Michael Madsen lent his voice to Maugrim, the Witch's wolfish chief of security. The kids were, well, kids, but they played their roles well enough. Oh yeah, and the Professor, despite his very brief appearances (just as in the book), was very cool, too. Go see it in the theatres. It's worth the big screen. Next up, King Kong.
