“The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian,” opening in theaters May 16

The second installment of C.S. Lewis’ beloved “Chronicles of Narnia” will be released this week to the silver screen, where once again moviegoers will be exposed to truths about the Christian faith. “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian,” opening in theaters May 16, is the follow-up to the 2005 box-office hit “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.”

In “Prince Caspian,” the Pevensie children – Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy – are magically and mysteriously transported from England back to Narnia to help Caspian regain his throne from his power-hungry uncle, Lord Miraz.

“Here is something with which Christians today can certainly relate,” Earley observed. “It is one thing to be among the first witnesses who exult in the risen Christ. It is quite another to act out of faith when the stories of His witnesses are so many centuries removed from our world.”

A review by The Associated Press describes “Prince Caspian” as “simultaneously darker and funnier, more substantive and more engaging, more violent and more technically accomplished” than its predecessor.

It's rated PG. Be careful with taking very young kids, but I'm sure Tweens and up will have no problems, its likley to be tamer than much that is on TV. I'm really looking forward to this one.
