C.S. Lewis' third book in his series of seven novels for children, The Chronicles of Narnia.
Lucy and Edmund (Georgie Henley and Skandar Keynes, returning from the previous two films) are spending a boring holiday with their cousin Eustace Clarence Stubb (Will Poulter) – a dull and mean little boy. When a painting of a ship on the wall of Lucy's wall comes to life, the three children are drawn into Narnia – dumped into the ocean to be rescued by the Dawn Treader.
On board is none other than King (formerly Prince) Caspian (Ben Barnes). The kids join Caspian on his search for the seven lost Lords of Narnia, to fulfil a promise to Aslan (Liam Neeson).
Some good special effects... the odd laugh... but is fairly boring really.
i realy liked this movie. a breath of fresh air compared to alot of the other crap thats around these days
This film fits well with the other films in the series, but fails to really fly. The Silver Chair is the next in the series and my personal favorite of the chronicles, so I will look forward to that one. Check out the scene where Lucy plays with some bad magic in her room. Aslan's speech when he catches her is like the speech most parents give their kids when they catch them smoking something they shouldn't in their rooms. Gotta lay off that magic Lucy. It'll mess you up!
I was looking forward to this one. However, in my local Video Ezy there was a sign saying, "Watch this Space" where anything starting with V might have been. I asked and was told it has not arrived yet. This happens far too often. Come on Video Ezy, your customers can't rent from you if you don't get it in.
Best one yet
The Chronicles of Narnia will never have the prestige or pretensions of the Potters or the Rings, but these films are still an enjoyable way to pass a couple of kid-friendly hours.
After slipping badly with the second installment two years ago, the Narnia franchise does a full-on belly flop with this third.
A solid instalment of the Narnia chronicles that should keep its young fans happy
While this film is the weakest of the three, these stories are so fantastical and memorable, the books so beloved, that The Dawn Treader is still a good vessel to board for kids of all ages.
All the wonders of a writer's imagination can conjure up and a filmmaker can translate onto the screen are captured in the Narnia series. The children for whom these films are made will hitch their own imaginations to the film and fly into Narnia land
