The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010)
Tumblr media
If The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader had been a standalone film, it might’ve been ok. Unfortunately, this isn’t just a standalone film, it’s a sequel to The Prince Caspian, itself a follow-up of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. After seeing those two films, this one feels profoundly mundane, maybe even *gulp* boring.
Set three years after the events of Prince Caspian, Edmund (Skandar Keynes) and Lucy (Georgie Henley) are staying with their irritating know-it-all younger cousin Eustace (Will Poulter) when all three are called to Narnia. Sailing aboard the “Dawn Treader” with King (formerly Prince) Caspian (Will Poulter), our heroes seek the swords of the seven Lords of Narnia. With those artifacts, they can repel the carnivorous mist threatening the land.
With this film, Green Lantern and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer we can confidently say that unless your evil mist/cloud is hiding some horrific monsters or phantasmal sailors, your movie is doomed. This picture's first major issue is its lack of an interesting conflict, nevermind villain. After facing off against Jadis, the White Witch (Tilda Swinton) and Caspian’s treacherous uncle, you want the stakes to go even higher. At the very least, the emotions need to compensate but it's hard to feel threatened by a fog bank, even if it is green - the colour of stink. That wouldn’t be such a big deal if the quest they embarked upon was interesting, but it isn’t. Not compared to what we've seen before. They meet a bunch of silly-looking creatures, travel from one location to another and the biggest threat to the Dawn Treader’s crew… is the possibility or starvation or mutiny. Peter, Susan, Lucy and Edmund lived in Narnia for years, ruling as kings and queens. This quest would’ve been a Saturday afternoon for them back in the old days.
Voyage of the Dawn Treader isn’t bereft of charm. The individual characters are great. Lucy and Edmund have their own characters arcs, and they’re not the same ones as before. Eustace is irritating for about a third of the film but you eventually come to like him. If you’re wiling to forgive the lame plot, it might actually be worth sitting through to see more of Caspian or the swashbuckling mouse Reepicheep (voiced by Simon Pegg). Those are great characters, the kind you fall in love with and tear up when you realize it’s time for you and them to once again part ways. There is a place for this kind of story, the kind that’s ultimately gentle and filled with more whimsy than actual action… it’s just that after two epic battles where hundreds of creatures waged wars, this trek is a letdown. The older siblings’ swan song was a tale for the ages. Lucy and Edmund have got little to write home about after this fetch quest. I didn’t even feel that the special effects were that great. They’re fine, but you’re not wowed by them like you were before.
After seeing The Prince Caspian, I was eagerly looking forward to more. Unfortunately, the next entry in the series, The Magician's Nephew, never materialized, making The Voyage of the Dawn Treader a forgettable and low final note. (Theatrical version on Blu-ray, September 30, 2017)

shout out to eustace scrubb who did not recognize a dragon because he "had read none of the right books" but knows what an assonance in poetry is and uses this poetic device to mock his cousins (a king and queen of narnia)

Why does he look like Caspian caught by the paparazzi on vacation with his boyfriend? (The paparazzi were beavers)

Something about watching Narnia as a Christian
About how Lucy is always the first to see Aslan because it takes childlike faith
"Nobody else believed me" "Then why did that stop you from coming?"
About how Caspian is accepted and made king despite being a Telmarine, and how Eustace and Edmund are redeemed because it doesn't matter where you come from or what you've done, his grace is still sufficient.
"No matter how hard I tried I couldn't do it myself"
About how Edmund's betrayal is never spoken of again by anyone but himself, and he is never tempted by her again, even when Peter and Caspian are. His sins have been forgotten. How even though he isn't tempted, she still haunts his thought because sometimes even though we are forgiven we can't forgive ourselves.
About how Lucy struggles with trying to be like Susanne, but he has an individual plan for everyone.
 "In your world, I have another name. You must learn to know me by it. That was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there."
Ugly crying because you do know him by his other name.
Just something about Narnia as a Christian

Susan loved Narnia so much that she chose to forget it, because that hurt less.
