How's Narnia?

[alfiri.livejournal.com]

Well, since it's my least favorite book of the Pevensie story arc, I have to say it was really well done and I loved the cinematography :) Did you see it yet?

[mmmfishfingers.livejournal.com]

Eventually I'll see it sometime with Jennifer. I think next week. Even though classes start Monday, Idoubt I'll have anything major due that week and we can see it after classes one day. In 2D though, Narnia does NOT need the gmmick of 3D

Oh, I saw it in 2D as well :) I don't care at all for the 3D technology, especially not when it's just there to take focus away from the story (also, the glasses annoy me).
