Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian [Blu-ray] Overview


The characters of C.S. Lewis' timeless fantasy come to life once again in this newest installment of the "Chronicles of Narnia" series, in which the Pevensie siblings are magically transported back from England to the world of Narnia, where a thrilling, p

Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian [Blu-ray] Specifications


More exciting than The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian continues the movie franchise based on C.S. Lewis' classic fantasy books. The movie picks up where the first left off... sort of. It's been a year since the Pevensie children--Peter (William Moseley), Susan (Anna Popplewell), Edmund (Skandar Keynes), and Lucy (Georgie Henley)--returned to England from Narnia, and they've just about resigned themselves to living their ordinary lives. But just like that, they're once again transported to a fantastical land, but one with a long-abandoned castle. It turns out that they are in Narnia again--and they themselves lived in that castle, but hundreds of years ago in Narnia time. They've been summoned back to help Prince Caspian (Stardust's Ben Barnes, resembling a young, cultured Keanu Reeves), the rightful heir to the throne who's become the target of his power-hungry uncle, King Mraz (Sergio Castellitto). And he's not the only one threatened: Mraz's people, the Telmarines, have pushed all the Narnians--the talking animals, the centaurs and other beasts, the walking trees--to the brink of extinction. Despite some alpha-male bickering, Peter and Caspian agree to fight Mraz alongside the remaining Narnians, including the dwarf Trumpkin (Peter Dinklage) and the swashbuckling mouse Reepicheep (voiced by Eddie Izzard). (Also appearing is Warwick Davis, who was in Willow and the 1989 BBC Prince Caspian.) But of course they most of all miss the noble lion, Aslan, who would have never let this happen to Narnia if he hadn't disappeared. Prince Caspian is epic, evoking memories of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films. (Some of the battle elements may seem too familiar, but they were in Lewis's book.) And it's appropriate for kids (Reepicheep could have come out of a Shrek movie), though the tone is dark and there is a lot of death, albeit bloodless. After two successful films, Disney and Walden Media's franchise has proved successful enough that many of the characters are scheduled to return in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews


Robotech The Shadow Chronicles [RTSC] is the first real attempt to breathe Harmony Gold to life, a fact that, at least in the United States is a sleeping giant.

Personally I find the series of films of 3.5 to five, so I rounded up. RTSC is basically the pilot for 88min what's the next saga of Robotech become that show how to add a fourth in the last three of the original. I think it's more than one episode OVA as a stand-alone movie, and although HG is currently in a new continuationRobotech Shadow Rising, and a live-action adaptation of the original series, starring Tobey Maguire and Warner Brothers.

My only real complaints stem from the fact that RTSC was not that big of a budget. Let's face it, even in a franchise in silence after almost 20 years is a risky business. There are some little things that have been set, the animation is often little troubleshooting.

Overall RTSC is starting a fun, the closest, I think, as has beenregain some realistic elements that made the original expected as a large and permanent. If you're a Robotech anime or this is a must if you're curious, I suggest you start with the original series, then get this film when you're done.
