Lucy and Edmund (Georgie Henley and Skandar Keynes, returning from the previous two films) are spending a boring holiday with their cousin Eustace Clarence Stubb (Will Poulter) – a dull and mean little boy. When a painting of a ship on the wall of Lucy's wall comes to life, the three children are drawn into Narnia – dumped into the ocean to be rescued by the Dawn Treader.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
BY Gambit70 grader
Some good special effects... the odd laugh... but is fairly boring really.
BY Wice superstar
One movie, two storylines: an aged original and an addition that failed to engage us. Did not do a lot for us.
One of our group nearly fell asleep in the first half. One said that she will see the next one when it becomes a $1 DVD rental.
Favourite part was the end.
Thought this was great. Took my 6 year old who thought it was cool if a bit scary towards the end. Of the 3 Narnia movies I thought this was the best story and best looking.

The Chronicles of Narnia will never have the prestige or pretensions of the Potters or the Rings, but these films are still an enjoyable way to pass a couple of kid-friendly hours. Full Review
After slipping badly with the second installment two years ago, the Narnia franchise does a full-on belly flop with this third. Full Review
A solid instalment of the Narnia chronicles that should keep its young fans happy Full Review
While this film is the weakest of the three, these stories are so fantastical and memorable, the books so beloved, that The Dawn Treader is still a good vessel to board for kids of all ages. Full Review
All the wonders of a writer's imagination can conjure up and a filmmaker can translate onto the screen are captured in the Narnia series. The children for whom these films are made will hitch their own imaginations to the film and fly into Narnia land Full Review
This f/x-heavy third adaptation of the Christian-themed fantasy series feels routine and risk-averse in every respect, as if investment anxiety had fatally hobbled its sense of wonder. Full Review
