Critics Consensus

Its leisurely, businesslike pace won't win the franchise many new fans, but Voyage of the Dawn Treader restores some of the Narnia franchise's lost luster with strong performances and impressive special effects.

This movie so boring. This movie is the most horrible trequel I have ever seen. Don't watch this, this isn't a good movie and it isn't entertaining. Worst of the narnia series

"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" is a captivating fantasy film that once again takes audiences on an enchanting journey through the magical world of Narnia. Directed by Michael Apted, the movie is based on the third novel in C.S. Lewis's beloved series. One of the film's strengths lies in its stunning visual effects. The imaginative landscapes of Narnia, from the vast ocean to the mystical islands, are brought to life with impressive detail. The visual spectacle is complemented by a well-crafted storyline that follows the adventures of Lucy, Edmund, and their cousin Eustace as they join Caspian, on a quest aboard the majestic ship, the Dawn Treader. The characters are portrayed convincingly by the talented cast, with standout performances from Georgie Henley as Lucy, Skandar Keynes as Edmund, Will Poulter as the initially obnoxious but later brave Eustace, Ben Barnes as the charismatic Caspian, and of course, the iconic Liam Neeson as the voice of Aslan. Neeson's commanding and majestic voice adds gravitas to the character of Aslan, the great lion, bringing him to life in a way that resonates with both children and adults. The film also delves into themes of courage, friendship, and personal growth. As the characters face various challenges and temptations, they discover important lessons that resonate beyond the fantasy realm of Narnia. These moral undertones, combined with the strong performances, contribute to the movie's appeal for both children and adults. The adaptation remains faithful to the spirit of C. S. Lewis's work. The pacing is well-managed, keeping the audience engaged throughout the voyage without feeling rushed. In conclusion, "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" successfully captures the magic and wonder of Narnia. With its impressive visuals, strong performances, and timeless themes, offering an enjoyable and memorable cinematic experience for fans of fantasy and adventure.

I chose episode 1 of The Chronicles of Narnia to watch because it is a good fairy tale for a magical mood before the New Year. I have never seen that serial before.

The faux-Odyssean trials the characters face are also paradoxically so strained that they often look more arbitrary than thoughtful.

Not quite a must-see, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is nonetheless a sturdy outing with many of the charms that have become franchise trademarks.

Apted's ultimate downfall is the over-utilization of special effects in a film that simply doesn't require them to such excess.

Fiction Machine

What works on the page does not necessarily work on screen, and the woolly plot structure robs Dawn Treader of much of the previous films' energy.
