The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Movie Reviews

Doesn't matter if you haven't read the Narnia Chronicles by CS Lewis. Doesn't matter if you haven't seen the earlier sequels too.

But what The Voyage of the Dawn Treader has is a world shorn of nearly all that made it magical and special for the children, suffusing it instead with special effects which stop short of amounting to anything much.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is the third film in the series based on CS Lewis’ fantasy novels. In this installment, the two youngest children, Edmund, played by Skander Keynes and Lucy played by Georgie Henley, are transported back to Narnia along with their obnoxious cousin Eustace, played by Will Poulter. The three embark on an adventure on the high seas, which of course includes enchanted waters, the nefarious
