Voyage of the Dawn Treader

I enjoyed this third installment of The Chronicles of Narnia. The diehard fans may not be happy with the liberties they took with the story, but for the rest of us, this is a fun, fantasy tale for the family.

Lucy and Edmund are the two who return to Narnia in this film. Their older siblings are too old for this adventure. So instead, they bring their obnoxious cousin, Eustace.

Caspian is also back and this time he's the king.

With the children back in Narnia, they board Caspian's boat The Dawn Treader. They travel to a number of Narnia's islands and confront the "evil green smoke". With what you'd expect from Edmund, he is tired of playing second fiddle to his brother and Caspian. Caspian is trying to emerge from his father's shadow and Lucy wishes she could be as beautiful as her sister.

The green smoke causes them to forget about what they have and fight amongst themselves.

Eustace, on the other hand, does his job perfectly. Throughout the first half of the movie, you'll hate him so much that you will want to constantly reach into the screen and strangle the boy. (this is excellent on the part of the actor.)

Voyage of the Dawn Treader may have a couple intense scenes with a sea serpent too scary for younger children.

Aslan comes this close to proclaiming who he's "supposed" to be.

And you have a high seas adventure.
