Movie Review : The Chronicles of Narnia 2 – Prince Caspian

Salam and hello to all. Luckily, huh… after about 6 days I sent my laptop to service centre, I sent my laptop last Friday. Yesterday, they called me and said I can come to collect my laptop today (means yesterday) or tomorrow (means today). I took the laptop today at Berjaya Times Square. Wa.. so happy la. I blogged about my uncomfortable blogging experience at my university computer centre yesterday and yesterday evening they called me that my laptop was fixed and ready to collect! Actually, the problem with my laptop is caused by the hard disk and they have replaced it with the new one. I already expected this. Huhu.. So I can start blogging again.

So as promised in my previous entry, I will write a short self review about the second movie of Narnia, The Chronicles of Narnia 2 : Prince Caspian. I watched this movie last Wednesday, which is the first showing day for this movie. Ok2, lets go through the short synopsis about this movie. If you lazy to read, you can watch the official trailer below. Lols.. haha

The characters of C.S. Lewis’s 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, perilous new adventure and an even greater test of their faith and courage awaits them. One year after the incredible events of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” the Kings and Queens of Narnia find themselves back in that faraway wondrous realm, only to discover that more than 1300 years have passed in Narnian time. During their absence, the Golden Age of Narnia has become extinct, Narnia has been conquered by the Telmarines and is now under the control of the evil King Miraz, who rules the land without mercy. The four children will soon meet an intriguing new character: Narnia’s rightful heir to the throne, the young Prince Caspian, who has been forced into hiding as his uncle Miraz plots to kill him in order to place his own newborn son on the throne. With the help of the kindly dwarf, a courageous talking mouse named Reepicheep, a badger named Trufflehunter and a Black Dwarf, Nikabrik, the Narnians, led by the mighty knights Peter and Caspian, embark on a remarkable journey to find Aslan, rescue Narnia from Miraz’s tyrannical hold, and restore magic and glory to the land.

Here is the official trailer.

Ok, this is my self short review. Only one word, GREAT! Yup, this movie was really interesting although it was a bit fantasy, about the animals that can talk, freaky creatures, peoples that can teleport to another world and others. Well, the storyline was great though it’ll bit confusing for those who don’t watch it’s first movie. Actually, this movie is a continues from the first movie and the story of Narnia after the Pevensie siblings left Narnia for a year in the real world but in the Narnia world, it was already passed 1000 years. There are lots of changes in Narnia world since Pevensie siblings absence and Narnia is not as what it had 1000 years ago. The Narnia world was conquered by Telmarines and under controlled by Lord Miraz. Lord Miraz hates the Narnians and wants to kill all of them. Hence, the Narnians forced to hide into the jungle until everything was changed when Prince Caspian comes. Prince Caspian makes the Pevensie siblings to come back into the world of Narnia, which brings hope to all Narnians. So, what’s next? What Prince Caspian did? To know what happen next and so on, you’ve to watch this movie. I’ll not story everything in details. One thing that makes me amazed when watching this movie is, it’s awesome and wonderful sceneries, which refer to Narnia world. I somehow don’t believe my eyes when looked at all those places, really and really beautiful. I wonder if I can get there someday. Huh, btw, where is it? Hmm… Unlike the first movie, in this second series, there are a lot of actions, a lot. Compare to the first movie, this second series has full of actions and fighting part. Unlike the first movie again, there is not so many scene of Aslan, the mighty lion. You can see Aslan mostly in the last part of the movie, but still, Aslan looks great. No comment about the CGI, it was totally awesome and great. You can see how realistic the Aslan is, and that shows how awe their CGIs. Apart from that, with the great storyline plus great act by the actors plus awe CGIs, I rated this movie 4 out of 5. For those who watch the first series of The Chronicles of Narnia, you must watch this second series. Anyway, it is a worth movie to watch.
