I am happy to report that the 3D was an experience all its own, and well worth the three dollar surcharge. However, if your wallet will cry because you remove that much money from it, seeing this particular film in 2D is just as good.
The plot followed the book to a tee, save a few tiny things that were lost in the translation from page to screen.
I would call this movie a “examination of conscience”, as it did a broad sweep of the seven deadly sins. The seven deadly sins, pride, lust, anger, covetousness, envy, sloth, and gluttony (easily remembered by the acronym "PLACES G"). When watching the movie, if you keep these sins in your mind and look for them, all are shown, even gluttony and lust. The theme of temptation to commit the seven sins was clearly pulsing throughout the plot.
The seven lost knights who Caspian and the crew of the Dawn Treader were searching for each lost their 'swords' to one of the temptations.
Redemption, conversion of heart, and forgiveness were also demonstrated in the character of Eustace Scrubb (a favorite literary character of mine).
I have seen it twice already, the first time with two 24 year olds, and a 20 year old. All of them enjoyed it very much. The second time i went to see it, i was accompanied by a 15 year old. He also enjoyed it.
I highly recommend this movie to all ages, and all creeds.
There is not much i can say that is negative about this movie...which is different for me, since usually i enjoy standing on a soap box and ranting about the poor quality of today’s entertainment.
