Daniel M It wasn’t as good as the previous ones due to a story that wasn’t as epic, but the ending was fantastic and it truly made me feel like it was a good ending to the series.

This was just noticeably under a low budget, and it bothered me 😢 Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review Tom G I forgot this movie came out Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/28/25 Full Review Diego P It has a smaller budget, and it's noticeable, not at the beginning but in the final stretch, that it's lacking, that it's not up to par. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/18/25 Full Review Oliver C. If The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was a magical invitation to another world, then The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is the travel brochure that should’ve gone straight into the recycling bin. This film is a baffling mess—a soulless, CGI-cluttered slog across a sea of missed opportunities. The plot, already thin in the book, is stretched to breaking point here. Instead of episodic wonder, we get a collection of uninspired side quests strung together with the emotional depth of a wet napkin. Each new island feels like a half-finished level in a budget video game, complete with stiff exposition and zero stakes. The new characters are either irritating (cough Eustace) or instantly forgettable. Even Aslan, once a commanding presence, is now reduced to dropping cryptic one-liners like a disinterested life coach. The titular Dawn Treader looks beautiful, but it’s like watching a grand ship with no compass—it drifts, it meanders, and it eventually sinks under the weight of its own dullness. Worst of all, the wonder and mythic weight that made Narnia special are gone. This isn’t a magical journey—it’s a checklist of fantasy clichés, wrapped in lazy moralizing and bland performances. It’s the cinematic equivalent of staring at a snow globe that never gets shaken. By the time the credits rolled, I didn’t feel like I’d been on an epic adventure. I felt like I’d been stuck in a boat with people I didn’t like, waiting for something interesting to happen. Spoiler: it never did. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Charleigh Q First I'd like to say that I don't watch many movies at all. By that I mean I've watched fewer than 20 in my lifetime and I'm in my 40's. I've always been fascinated however with stories of fantasy, dragons, mythical creatures and so on. I have watched The Chronicles of Narnia The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe and it was very good. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Read all reviews
