When Lucy and Edmund return to Narnia, this time brining their cousin Eustace along, they find themselves on a voyage aboard the Dawn Treader, the pride of the Narnian Seas. With King Caspian maintaining peace throughout the land, the children wonder why they have been brought back, but their questions are soon answered when they witness a mysterious mist devouring innocent victims. With Caspian at the helm of the Dawn Treader, Lucy and Edmund embark upon a quest to rid Narnia of this evil foe once and for all.
Filled with action, lessons, and friendships, The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a fun family movie, equally on par with Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief or The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.
When Lucy and Edmund return to Narnia, this time unintentionally bringing the hateful and obnoxious cousin Eustace along, they find themselves on a voyage aboard the Dawn Treader, the pride of the Narnian Seas. With King Caspian maintaining peace throughout the land, the children wonder why they have been brought back, but their questions are answered when they witness a sinister mist engulf innocent victims, causing them to disappear into thin air. With Caspian at the helm of the Dawn Treader, Lucy, Edmund, and Eustace embark upon a quest to rid Narnia of this wicked foe once and for all.
All in all, this was a fine film but, like Prince Caspian, I don’t think it’s one that I could always come back to. Maybe once every few months.
That’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy it. The movie is just as dazzling, if not, more so that its predecessors as, this time it is set on the seas and we get to see all new and magical creatures including mermaids, sea serpents, and dragons. The special effects were a success again and the design of the Dawn Treader itself was something amazing.
Unlike Prince Caspian, The Dawn Treader focused again on the magic qualities of Narnia and not so much the war and political side of the story, which I think is good because that was initially what the world was about.
Starring Georgie Henley, Skander Keynes, Liam Neeson, Ben Barnes, Will Poulter, Bruce Spence, and Simon Pegg, The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader was a fun family film filled with action, magic, lessons, changes of heart, changes of mind, sea-tales, and companionship. I couldn’t watch it over and over, but it was a good film nonetheless.
