Review by Ally

4.4 / 5

This movie is inpspireing to any one who loves to figure out symbolism in movies. Christians watch this movie hundreds of times and still catch things they hadn't before. The second time i saw it I realized that Aslan said "It is time" and later "it is finished" just as Jesus said in John. But even if your not Christian you still find this movie to be unbelieveable. Athough its not as large scale as Lord of the Rings you feel as though Narnia is bigger than Middle Earth. The director and casting director did an excellent job choosing kids who have a talent for acting. This was the best movie.
