something good to watch around Christmas

Warning: Spoilers
The first two Narnia films were very entertaining and well-made. The third installment kept up that form. The two youngest children from the earlier films return to Narnia, accompanied by the irascible, irritating and whingeing Eustace. They have to help Prince Caspian find seven swords to reverse a terrible spell which has afflicted Narnia. Cue a voyage on-board the Dawn Treader, with plenty of interesting encounters with weird creatures along the way. The film's star was Eustace, who starts off as a snotty little oik, turns into a dragon, learns about courage and helps save the day. Simon Pegg voiced the daring little mouse, replacing Eddiz Izzard from the second film. The special effects were pretty good, esp. the giant sea serpents at the end. I watched it in 2D as I've seen a few duds in 3D. Avatar was spectacular in that format because it was filmed with the technology: Narnia was absolutely fine in 2D and a few quid cheaper! Great film for Christmas!
