This is the third film in the Narnia series, and it is the last in the Pevensie children trilogy. It takes place 3 years after the events in the second film and only features the youngest 2 kids (Lucy and Edward) because the oldest kids have gained everything they could from Narnia and can no longer return. In this film, Lucy and Edward are joined by their cousin, Eustace, who is very skeptical and doesn't get along with Lucy and Edward. The three are set out to find the seven lost lords, with the help of Prince Caspian, in order to save Narnia from becoming corrupt. All the characters are tested as they journey to Aslan's country.
This film is on par with the rest of the films in the series. One of the things that I like about these films are that the acting is great--even on the children's part. The character development was fantastic! The story was very well executed in this film. It presented a very darkening feel to Narnia as they get closer to corruption. The effects were great--probably the best so far out of all the films. I think this film--moreso than the second film in the series--has great potential of recruiting new Narnia fans and expanding its audience. People don't necessarily have to see the second film in order to understand this one--it kind of stands on its own. Although, it could help with certain references. This film also will go over well with the Christian fanbase because of some dialogue towards the end of the film.
I love these films and hope they continue the series!
Overall Grade: A+
