I've just cancelled my Netflix, as there was almost nothing I wanted to watch, and this made me reluctant to pay them any more money. 

I picked 'slightly less likely' for going to see this at the cinema (haven't checked where my nearest IMAX is, either way) because I keep visualising the female Aslan, and each time it does not fill me with a lot of enthusiasm. I just couldn't say at this point in time that I'm definitely put off seeing it on the big screen. It's far too soon to judge. So 'slightly' it is.

However, I'm still highly likely to see it on Netflix, give it a go because it is Narnia – unless reports come out at the time that it's terrible or something. 😆 

I voted "much less likely to see the movie".  I wouldn't say a definite no, but at this point I think my position is quite similar to @fantasia's.  I, like @coracle have cancelled my subscription to Netflix (a bit longer ago though), as I have been a bit disappointed in some of the decisions they have made... that said - there is a context in which I would still be consider watching it and/or be very enthusiastic about watching it (1) if Meryl Streep is voicing a male lion - possibly, (2) if she is part of a group of voices for the voice of Aslan - I am open to this possibility, (3) it turns out to be purely a rumour and/or they decide against making Aslan a female or feminising Aslan, but instead stick to keeping Him a male Lion. - this would turn my feelings back toward being enthusiastic to seeing it. 

I chose "Little/no effect on my choice to see the movie." I don't believe I can have a well-informed and researched opinion until I have actually seen the film. I've mentioned this before, but the Meryl Streep rumors did surprise me. Still, there are so many moments in The Magician's Nephew, which I first read as a child almost 30 years ago ( 🤯 ) that I cannot wait to see onscreen. Visuals that were truly formative to my childhood and have lived in my head for decades. Digory and Polly exploring the attic, experiencing The Wood Between the Worlds, visiting Charn, meeting Jadis, flying on Fledge — I cannot wait to see those moments.

Even if the movie turns out to be so completely off the mark that I feel like jumping up and down and screaming at the screen in frustration (which I wouldn't actually do in a cinema, don't worry), I cannot fairly criticise it if I haven't actually seen it.

Because to me (and this is my own personal conviction), if I talk about how opposed I am to a movie (or whatever), but still go pay to see it, my words mean nothing.

I just thought I'd say that if there are fans who don't want to throw money at the movie (either because it sounds like a lousy adaptation or for more ideological reasons) but want to be able to speak about it knowledgeably, Greta Gerwig's screenplays are usually made available to read online for awards consideration. (Or will the IMAX screening not be long enough to qualify for awards? I forget.) Reading it won't tell us about the movie's acting, music, etc. But it could give us some idea of her vision and whether it's a good one from a book fan perspective. 

It won't prevent me from seeing the movie. But I should add that nothing will prevent me from seeing it, other than death.  Even if the reviews are abysmal and the changes from the book are shocking, I'd be too morbidly curious to not see it for myself.

Also, as a general principle, I never like to definitively state whether a movie is good or bad if I have never seen it.  If I skip a movie, I'll generally refrain from commenting on its quality.

@Ghost93. Good point about seeing the movie first before having an opinion. At this point, all that we really know is that Emma Mackie has been confirmed as the actress who has been cast as Jadis.  

Cancelling my access to Netflix isn't an issue when it is someone else in my family's subscription, anyway. She likes the Outlander series, you see, whilst I enjoyed watching The Crown.  

Well, I don’t have a Netflix subscription, so I’m much less likely to see the new Narnia film if Aslan is changed to a female. Yet anything could still happened between now and then. So I’m just waiting to see what happens. I think only time will tell.
