I'm always extremely disappointed with movies like "Bridge to Terabithia". I saw the previews and was excited to see it, but the film itself did not live up to what it appeared to be. I wasn't disappointed with "Dawn Treader", because I knew what to expect having been on Narniaweb multiple times every day for the past few years!

What about the "unfathomable fate' thing? I never heard what happened to that before I went into spoiler-free hibernation.

Heheh...the trailer for that movie was ATROCIOUSLY misleading. It's not surprising though; Bridge to Terabithia was released several months after LWW was a smash hit at the box office. Both films were released by Walden, so it makes sense that they would want Bridge to Terabithia to look like the next Narnia. It's just a bit dishonest. They included just about every special effects shot from the movie in the trailer, and never told you that "Terabithia" was all the kid's imaginations. Sorry you were disappointed because you were expecting something that you did not get.

OK, I have a quick question for those of you with awesome memories or who have seen the movie more than once:
When Coriakin is explaining the evil/Dark Island, in the movie does Edmund actually say "You mean a witch?" like he does in the trailer? I don't remember it being there. Was that line filmed just for the trailer, maybe?

Now that I think about it, I think you're right! I don't remember that line either. I rewatched the scene from the clip available online.

It's not in there and I don't see any other place they could stick it...unless that clip was edited down for time reasons.

He definately doesn't say "You mean a witch". The shot in the trailer where he does say "You mean a witch" is from later when Lucy and he are having nightmares, when in the final it shows the dark island, so "You mean a witch" is never said.

I think the "unfathomable fate" was supposed to be the green mist, as it was "stealing the light from the world" and such..

this is not from the trailer, but if anyone has the movie tie-in/story book, there's a picture of Caspian and Ed talking in his cabin that is not in the film...I think it must be filmed at the same time as the scene in the film where Caspian is looking at the swords they've found so far in his cabin (and wondering aloud whether the lords would've made it as far as Ramandu Island) and Ed is standing right outside. I wonder what they might talk about in that missing scene.

The Mist? The one that eats random people, causes strange cloud formations, and doesn't do much else? That's the Unfathomable Fate? How lame...

Now that's interesting, aslan'scountry. I guessed (hoped) that there MUST be something else to that one shot sandwiched in where it didn't make sense. I'm glad my suspicions were confirmed. I'd like to think it was a real, solid making-up scene between Caspian and Edmund, but judging from the fact that in the shot in the film, Edmund is leaning carelessly against the railing, I'd say they're just discussing the swords, the mist, their plans, etc. Basic plot exposition. How I wish they'd kept that in...

Why is it that I feel like a ton of shots were cut just to make it shorter, if this is the case... uuuggggghhhhh.... and if that ever happens again, I will not be happy.

Part of me really hopes there is a longer cut of the movie out there, lying on the editing room floor at 20th Century Fox where the Lone Islands sequence actually makes sense.... correction - where the entire movie actually makes sense.

Exactly! I keep hoping that there are extended versions or different versions of movies that will fix the mistakes in the theatrical version. Of course they would have to do a lot to fix Narrowhaven ...

As I was watching the movie, I remember noticing a lot of things that were in the trailers and not in the movie. And things that were horribly distorted. I knew trailers are misleading but I never released the extent to which they are. I was very relieved that the scene where the witch appears in Coriakin's house and Edmund's you mean a witch line etc. wasn't in the movie. I was also glad that the scene with the four Pevensies wasn't in the movie, although I am curious as to why it was filmed. Of course I can't remember all of the differences I noticed now.

In the Silver Sea clip that we saw in August, Lucy says: "I wonder what it will be like.....Aslan's Country....."
Eustace says: "Can't quite even imagine it...."
This wasn't in the movie at all. Any thoughts?

You're right!
I very much wish it were in the movie! I really liked those lines... And it gives us more time with Eustace as a changed boy.
I guess they just wanted to pare down the ending; make it shorter.

The Mist? The one that eats random people, causes strange cloud formations, and doesn't do much else? That's the Unfathomable Fate? How lame...

No. The "Unfathomable Fate" is the Lady of the Green Kirtle's army emerging from the Underworld and overthrowing Narnia. That was removed however and they attempted to replace it with the lame Green Mist.

I remember a few reports (I think from the screenings) where Aslan actually appears at Coriakin's house. And he says he was made visible because Lucy read the spell etc. He didn't in the movie.
