The Dawn Treader is the first ship Narnia has seen in centuries. King Caspian has built it for his voyage to find the seven lords, good men whom his evil uncle Miraz banished when he usurped the throne many years earlier. His Telmarine ancestors had never built ships as they had always feared the sea.
The journey takes Edmund Pevensie, Lucy Pevensie, their cousin Eustace Scrubb and King Caspian to the Eastern Islands, beyond the Silver Sea. Their mission – on which rests the fate of Narnia itself – takes the courageous voyagers to mysterious islands, a river that turns whatever it touches to gold, confrontations with magical creatures and sinister enemies. They will meet Lilliandil the half-star and reunite with their old friend and protector, the great lion Aslan. They will also have to save Narnia from an "unfathomable fate", including a mysterious green mist.
Among the characters on this film, Eustace played by Will Poulter stole all the spotlight from the Pevensies. Will’s magnificent portrayal of Lucy and Edmund’s cousin really amuses me. He is extremely obnoxious, annoying and arrogant but undeniably one of the well loved character among the lineup because he is funny and spontaneous. Too bad, Ben Barnes once again didn’t impress me. As much as I’m concerned, he is already a King and I really didn’t see that on his character. He still acts like somebody who don’t have the authority and lacks the commanding aura which pushed his role behind others including those supporting ones.
In a nut shell, “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” could be one of the strongest installment among the franchise (second to the first) which perfectly ends the Pevensie Trilogy that we all loved. And at the same time it is also a good beginning for the new era of adventurers like Eustace and his future comrades.
Directed by Michael Apted, “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” is a 20th Century Fox film distributed by Warner Bros. and set to premiere today (December 3) on Digital 3D cinemas all over the Metro and December 9 on all 2D conventional cinemas.
