For the C.S. Lewis fans who feel left out by the greedy Hollywood producers or those who believe a classic children’s series can’t be truly timeless unless it’s 99.9 percent CGI, “Narnia” is finally here to take their money and sweep them off their feet. The movie, which follows four children saving a magical land against a Medusa-like sorceress (Tilda Swinton) with the help of the wise lion Aslan (Liam Neeson), promises a climactic battle scene so visually mind-blowing, it makes any “Lord of the Rings” sequence look like amateur ’80s special effects.
Narnia is garnering an amazing buzz, and it’s no wonder. What defines Christmas better than sassy beavers and an albino witch riding evil polar bears?
