The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

There's more visual spectacle and special effects muscle than storytelling depth in Disney's second C.S. Lewis fantasy adventure. The four British siblings have only aged a year but the magical fantasia of Narnia has fallen into ruin and a brutal war that dominates the film. The way these kids rise to the occasion with stalwart determination and courage is more compelling than the rather conventional story. The commentary by director Andrew Adamson and the five young stars on the DVD is an engaging portrait of filmmaking from the perspective of the young performers. The 3-disc Collector's edition features 12 minutes of deleted scene (many of them with unfinished special effects), over two hours of featurettes and a digital copy of the film for portable media players. Exclusive to the Blu-ray edition is "Circle Vision Interactive: Creating the Castle Raid," which includes featurettes, commentaries and a 360-degree exploration of the set.
