  outstanding! You have to see it! Go to the theater! Do it now!

  by cylarz

  I've been waiting for this movie ever since before the first one, as "Dawn Treader" was my favorite book in the series. It was definitely worth the wait! The acting is absolutely superb, the computer animation and set design is beyond description, and the lessons are worth heeding. The Dawn Treader itself was so beautiful, I literally cried when it first appeared on the screen, and I could say similar about many of the locales visited in the film. It's a story of adventure, courage, daring, danger, and moral choices. The character of Eustace is especially interesting; it's fun to watch him change over the course of the movie as he learns some important lessons. Aslan was also a delight to see and behold; Liam Neeson was the perfect choice for his voice and the lion is beautifully animated. Though the story strays from the book here and there, it's largely true to the original. Don't wait for the Blu-Ray - watch it now in the theater! Best film so far this year. See this movie!

  The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

  by enicoletti

  Do not listen to the critics! This movie was an A+ -- the BEST movie I have seen in a very long time. I took my children, and although they may have not understood the underlying symboism, it was a wholesome movie reaching both children and adults. Lucy was perhaps the best actress, although Edmund wasn't far behind her. Her absolute faith in the assistance of Aslan toucbed me deeply. More profound, however, was the transformation of Eustace, who began a spoiled little boy and progressed into a reflective young man finally understanding his cousins and regretting his limitations from the past. Skillfully woven throughout were his diary entries, which enhanced the introspection and also showed in detail the transformation. Physically, he was transformed into a dragon of gold for his greed, but symbolically -- as with everything in the movie, it was much more than that. You'll have to watch it to understand what I am saying. I won't ever forget this one!

  My review

  by photochick31

  The movie was great as a movie but as a replication of the book, they really messed up the story. But overall it was really GREAT!!!!

  Another great family movie

  by Paintman72

  My wife and I took our 3 kids, 8,10,12, to see this movie opening day. All 5 of us really enjoyed the movie. The kids can't wait to add it to our DVD collection. Well worth the expense of going to the theater.

  Voyage of the Dawn Treader was Amazing

  by scann001

  The movie was fantastic. I was glad I purchased the 3D ticket for this movie. I had all my friends and realatives go see it! It is better than the 2nd movie, Prince Caspian. It is a great story and had really good effects. Any age group would enjoy this film. My 6 year old nephew and my 9 year old niece enjoyed it as much as my husband and I who are in our 50s. YOU REALLY DONT WANT TO MISS THIS MOVIE

  voyage of the Dawn Treader

  by ckohl

  I am a big fan of Narnia. I read the books as a kid, and have enjoyed watching the films as they have come out. The movies have followed the books fairly well, and there is no exception with Voyage of the Dawn Treader for the most part. A couple differences, but overall fairly true to the book. It is a great story, though perhaps a little less action than the first two. I think the cast is wonderful. I couldn't have done better myself. I also think the cinematography and special effects have been done well. Overall, I would rate this film as a B+/A-.

  Voyage of the Dawn Treader

  by pumkin_ak

  There is some predictability, such as during the process of finding the swords, and one character's mishap, but broken up by the arrangement of scenes and some uncertainty, such as whether the being urging the people to eat is the White Witch or not. Technically speaking the movie was fabulous--and my viewing wasn't even in 3-D. Watching water pour out from a painting and seeing the improbability of it made me feel enthralled and gave my seven year old incredible delight at the awe of it. Soaring above the scenery instilled a feeling of breathlessness, and moments such as these continued to capture us as the movie went on. Knowing certain details then becomes unimportant because (aside from that many of us read the book anyway), the *way* it is presented adds to the charm and magic of C.S. Lewis's original telling. It is a treat for grown ups and children alike, and one that inspires in a variety of ways.

  More Narnia

  by charonbond

  Save your money and see the 2D movie and not the 3D version of this movie. Again, a computer generated mouse steals scenes. Eustace is useless until something happens to him. Those that read the book knows exactly what I'm taking about. Shows that a person can change, Eustace. Pretty much follows the travles of King Caspian on the Dawn Treader, ship. To protect Narnia from an unseen foe. A short stop to fight against slavers. Shows that beauty can be only skin deep and rely on your inner beauty. I believe that children 10 years or older can be entertained by this movie. Not much death and battles in this movie. Parents closely watch your children when the odd death or two does happen. Good action sequences in as much as one could have on the confining spaces of a ship and small island.

  Want to see it again!!

  by kkingston

  This was a great movie. The cast was good and Ben Barnes may not be the greatest actor in the world, but he's yummy to look at. The story had a lot of special affects in it that didn't come through in the book, but that's what draws you into the story. My daughter went home and read the next book in the series, even though we know it will be another two years or so before that movie comes out.

  It felt like a voyage alright...

  by PYRiAH

  ust as C.S. Lewis' books dropped in popularity after "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", I believe the film adaptations might be doing the same. Granted I enjoyed "Prince Caspian" way more than I enjoyed "The Lion and the Witch" (probably because there was a huge battle at the end), but I think Fox made a mistake when it changed directors from "Prince Caspian" to "Dawn Treader". I don't know why Fox switched directors, but I do know that I would have much rather seen Andrew Adamson's (Shrek 1 & 2) version of "Dawn Treader" than seeing the one I saw directed by Michael Apted ("The World is not Enough").
