Movie Reviews of C.S. Lewis: Beyond Narnia
Movie Review: Behind Narnia Peek
Summary: 5 Stars
This is exceptionally good DVD for two classes of potential viewers: first for those who have not read or heard much of the background of Narnia's genius C.S. Lewis, this will introduce them in very well done intro to the life that produced this wonderful series. It is filmed in many of the actual locations where he lived and wrote, and is historically very accurate.
For those of us who are familiar with this background material already, I also commend this video, as it was great to see the actual footage and the portrayal by Anton Rogers is hauntingly good.
The final scene is especially poignant, from the Final Battle entering into eternity there are chapters that only get better and better.
The bonus features accessible by personal computer with DVD capabiblity are good also.
Movie Review: More Than Just a Glimpse!
Summary: 5 Stars
Being familiar with all of C.S.Lewis's mainstream published autobiographical work and a wide variety of biographical material I delighted in the movie 'Beyond Narnia'. It is truly head and shoulders above all previous television and film dramatization of Lewis's life not only because it is more accurate to that period already covered by previous dramatization, but it also involves the fascinating period of Lewis's childhood and youth. Additionally, to add further 'icing on the cake', the casting of the actors used, particularly that of Anton Rodgers as Lewis, was vastly superior to anything that has preceded it on screen (particularly the big screen - Anthony Hopkins, in both appearance and demeanor, couldn't have been less suited to the role).Movie Review: A truly moving experience.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen this about four times now, and am still moved to tears of joy when viewing it. The Jesus to whom C. S. Lewis introduces us is full of life, power, grace, and joy. If you enjoy Lewis' writing, then you will certainly love this autobiographical journey into the heart and mind of a great literary figure, one with whom most folks could easily imagine sharing a good mug of ale and a hearty laugh. The most moving aspect of Lewis' theology is the fact that he does not present an other-worldly, escapist picture, but integrates the pains and uncertainty of life with the presentation of a warm, personable, and caring Lord who walks with us through suffering and sorrow with the excitement of knowing the incredible wonder of our destination.Movie Review: Worthy of an award
Summary: 5 Stars
I would recommend buying a copy to every church library which asdpires to be in earnest. It almost comes as a surprise that the actors are just that, so true a portrayal do they make. In this condensed version of Lewis' life one is able to ascertain the Hand of God moving in his life and giving it direction. This is particularly noticeable when one considers the parallels that appear = notably the search for joy, the appearance of two brothers who are beset by circumstances, the two mothers who die an early death. One wonders whether this is not really about Lewis or rather the eternal vision that his stepson Douglas will carry forward, as Lewis' heir.Movie Review: Beyond Narnia ( a look at C.S. that the whole family must see.)
Summary: 5 Stars
The tragic saddness of C.S.'s loss of wife and faith in Shadowlands,maybe to tough on younger viewer's but still an important reality for those in Christ.This movie allows all age's to see and feel the loss without holding the viewer to long in the sorrow.Older viewer's should own both Shadowlands,and Beyond Narnia the work of Christ is important in the life of believers yet the truth of suffering is good in C.S.'s life and the viewer get's to see the hand of God in this movie which is more personal in Beyond Narnia.
