Prince Caspian is a part of the Narnia series which was written by C.S. Lewis. The story is still focused on Narnia, of course, that was back then ravaged by the Telmarines. When Prince Caspian the 9th ruled over, his uncle Miraz wants to dethrone him and planned to kill him. That's why he went away and look for some place to seek help with.
Caspian was then found by the 2 dwarfs and a talking badger. The Narnian creatures discovered that the prince has the magical horn which was said that it has a magical power. When the prince was in danger, he blew the horn and that made the Pevensies back again in the world of Narnia to help gain Narnia's freedom back.
The story tells us something about the New Age, that's why if you'll notice on their movie posters, it says, "The New Age Has Begun." Indeed, it really is. C.S. Lewis was really very brilliant, because his writings were really timely. No wonder why he is one of my favorite authors.
The movie is somehow violent because of the battle scenes, so I suggest for the kids to be with their parents while watching the movie, and a bit scary for the younger ones. But the story calls for a deep thinking for you to be able to understand it. There are some biblical parallels which might help you understand the story better. But that was just from my own point of view, I am not claiming that there is.
I encourage everyone to watch this movie, but first, you have to watch the first part for you to have a better understanding of the flow of the story. Or it would be much better if you have read the book already. Grab a copy of the Narnia series on one of your favorite bookstores now.
