What to Know

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.

Wesley Morris Boston Globe Rated: 2/4 Nov 24, 2011 Full Review Simon Abrams Slant Magazine The faux-Odyssean trials the characters face are also paradoxically so strained that they often look more arbitrary than thoughtful. Rated: 1.5/4 Dec 18, 2010 Full Review Lisa Kennedy Denver Post 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. Rated: 3/4 Dec 17, 2010 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The limitless possibilities of fantasy have rarely felt so unimaginative Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com 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 Sep 5, 2020 Full Review Grant Watson 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.

Julian L Good acting and visuals, but has a slow pace. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Stephen P 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 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review Caleb K Acting is good but they butchered a great book. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Carter E 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 Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review McKenna Love this movie! Especially with Will Poulter being in it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/24 Full Review Kevin M "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.
