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.

Slant Magazine

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.

Rated: 2.5/4.0

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.

Rated: 6/10

Although the fantasy feel of its predecessors are still kept intact and its light hearted nature makes it appealing to kids especially in some of the scenes that conveys a message, this is a poorly paced, bland and underwhelming movie that has a plot and characters devoid of a lot of spark and personality, ultimately making this a disorderly product with little distinct value.

It's ok but the plot is way too off the original novel and is kind of ludicrous but for Narnia fans it's still enjoyable seeing Lucy and Edmund back in narnia

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
