Review by cessna117a

4.6 / 5

The way that this movie was made was incredible. New Zealand was defiantly the best place to shoot this movie. As for the directing, Andrew Adamson was perfect for the part and I was amazed at how well the entire movie was directed from someone who was making his first motion picture. The Cinematography added so much more life to the movie and i cannot imagine how the movie would have looked with out great cinematography. As for make-up and costume design, I was not thrilled until the last half of the movie. The screenplay was well written. I am also glad that Adamson was flexible and let the actors ad-lib on the first take and read off the script on the second take. Congrats to Sim Evan-Jones in the editing room how really put the movie together beautifully. Music has always help tell the story of any movie. Without the music this movie would have been terrible. The score was written perfectly. And as for the acting, they couldn't have done better without Skander, Georgie, Anna, and William. All together the production of this movie is a great Chronicle its self.
