影片讲述彼得、苏珊、埃蒙德和露西四人在上一集回到现实世界的一年以后,突然被一股特殊的力量强行带回纳尼亚王国。原来,自从他们离开后,这里已经过去 1300 多年,纳尼亚的黄金时代早已不复存在。现在的纳尼亚由台尔马人统治,同时还受奴役于邪恶的国王弥若兹。老国王的儿子凯斯宾王子本是王位的正统继承人,因为害怕受到想让自己儿子当国王的亲叔叔的迫害,才被迫躲藏了起来。
凯斯宾王子吹响了苏珊留下的魔法号角,重新召回亚当之子和夏娃之女,在奇特的朋友们的帮助下,强大的骑士彼得和凯斯宾王子踏上了寻找狮王亚瑟兰、帮助凯斯宾王子夺回王位的旅程……
但从剧情角度来讲,还是略显苍白,整体的内容和上一集差不多:兄弟姐妹四人来到了这个陌生的国度,勇敢面对强大邪恶的敌人,最后在狮王亚瑟兰的强大力量帮助下打败了邪恶势力。不过和上一集相比,这一集中皮特和凯斯宾之间的矛盾冲突可算是一大看点,俗话说一山不容二虎。而皮特重回纳尼亚后表现出的二十岁年轻人特有的浮躁和傲慢,以及不承认自己的过失,逃避自己的责任直到最后蜕变成勇于担当的勇士,也具有相当的现实意义。
此外,具有传奇色彩的欧洲中世纪背景,美丽的高山草原和城堡,以及高质量的音乐和音效,是成就这部大片必不可少的元素。最后不得不提的是影片最后的片尾曲《The Call》,一首同时具有古典和爵士风格曲风的歌曲,伴随着四位主角和幻想世界的朋友们告别,回到现实,让人受到不小的震撼,强烈推荐!
THE CALL
from the theme of The Chronicle of Narnia: Price Caspian
It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye
Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before
All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye
Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and now one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger ans stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye
